IMO the biggest issue with Jankowski at this point and time is mental. He needs to learn that he is on the same level, if not ahead, of his competition and that he has the skill set to control the pace of the game.
He has all the tools, and a pretty good tool box, but he needs to learn that he can be a force.
In prospects camp, and in the NCAA so far, he played timid. He plays like he is the kid that is behind in his development and is a step below his competition. Whereas he needs to learn that he is just as good, if not better than his competition and that can take control of the game with his skillset.
Hopefully he gains that mindset because IMO the skills are there, he just needs to learn how to harness the skills mentally.
