"Project" is usually a term associated with post players who don't have great athleticism.  But to a degree, everyone is a project.  That said, DaSilva seems to be a superior athlete who plays above the rim.  I've never heard of a guy who plays above the rim called a "project."  The term usually used for a guy with great athleticism who maybe needs to develop his skills, is "raw, with a big upside."
