Well he wasn't a sure fire prospect. He was a 3rd round pick and I think you can admit really started to turn into a impactful player before he got hurt. He was definitely a late bloomer, so yes I do think that injury played a significant factor in his play this year in Phoenix and ultimately his demise in Phoenix. Point being Larsson is definitely not "way better" than Larsson.
