I'm still optimistic. I hope I've been clear about that. But, yeah, I see his handle and think, 'that looks like it needs drills... the types that he could have been doing like ****ing crazy during this time off.'
I agree that this is a legitimate concern that seems like it could have improved more during his off year. I also agree that he is still very young and this is the type of thing that can be improved with practice, so it shouldn't tamper enthusiasm on what he might become.
