I get why people want to show patience with prospects but what do you think the last 5 years of his development were? If he isn't ready now, he's nearly there.
But after having followed his development I'd say he's ready. Why do you think he's not ready?

I don't know if he is ready. I always prefer to take a wait and see approach. He needs to be one of the top 16 forwards coming out of camp. Nothing else really matters. I'm not saying he can't or won't do it, but we shouldn't assume he will.
