Obviously he's not going to lead the NCAA in scoring on this team but his lesser known (in most cases) teammates have shown they can play within the system and still put up some significant numbers. Case in point Mauerman had a huge year last year in the same program and has nowhere near the physical tools Jankowski does. You've got to wonder why it hasn't happened yet for this kid when this stifling system apparently does allow for big statistical season just a year ago. From my point of view this year should be his year to do the same based on many factors you've already pointed out.
Obviously there's still a long way to go before the dust settles on this kid but let's not completely forget that he's a top pick and has the skills that should allow him to produce in both ends of the ice. For those watching him regularly, is he simply snake bitten this year, slowed by injuries, not generating?
