Agreed. I was expecting this type of performance maybe 2-3 years down the road and perhaps not even this level either. I was expecting him to hit his stride around 23-24, not at the age of 20 and "fighting off the sophomore slump".
I wrote him off somewhat. I thought, "Sophomore slump is ok, happens to everyone. I still love what the kid brings. Lots of other rookies to watch."
...and he made me pay attention.
