His play so far also doesn't erase all the positives that made him an early high pick favorite, and like I said, right now it looks like he's proving you and others wrong.
How is he proving me wrong? I didn't really have an opinion on him either way before the draft.
I'm merely pointing out that there were valid concerns about him and reasons why he dropped. It is great that his development has been good this year - but as we all know the development path is rarely smooth.
And his position in the draft likely reflects how he is valued across the league, something that won't have entirely changed in a matter of months.
