Actually, I still think his wrister is top-notch, and should definitely translate as a scorer.
I think the problem with him is that he hasn't been quick or strong enough to get into areas to make use of it, or perhaps he is just taking too long in the actual release. When he does get it off, I actually think it is deadly. Other than that, I agree - solid all-around player, but nothing really stands out at the moment, but still lots of time to develop into one for a team that has the patience.
