His stats alone mean nothing without proper context. Once he came back from his injury and got settled he had 39 points in 24 games. He was one point back of team lead in scoring, despite playing 20+ less games. He has elite level vision and passing. A very smart player who was also a responsible two-way player for Seattle.

Stats alone suggest he's a dynamite offensive player. Beyond that there is alot to like too.

Couple unfortunate injuries are the only thing keeping him out of the Strome/Marmer group IMO
