Could be foot speed. Could be attitude. Could be conditioning. Who knows?

Why do you think he was underrated?
I think the answer is this draft was deeper than the narrative beforehand that everyone kept parroting about it being a weak draft.
He's a good defencemen with very few discernable weaknesses. Only weakness I saw in the scouting reports is that he's not overly physical. It's possible to get extremely high upside players in the mid 1st, doesn't mean we need to dream up flaws that aren't there.
