If you ask me, there's such a huge difference between the expectations and reality.. I believe he'd fail hard at least if you're expecting great things. His 2 seasons in Barcelona (especially the last one) proved that he's not built to be a starting 5 player in the top level or at least not ready yet. If Minnesota expect him to take them out of the mud and make them a regular playoff team then they're ridiculous.. But maybe they're the right place for him. If they'd give him time and credit than he might prove to be a good long-term investment, they're the right place cuz it's a small failing team with no expectations and he can focus on developing as a player (there's a lot to improve..)
I really don't believe he'd ever live to the expectations from a 5th draft pick but with some time and credit he might become a pretty good player.
