He looks 15 lbs heavier this year, and while still making obvious mistakes, the bulk of his minutes are tremendously successful.

Maybe I'm on an island, but I'm super happy with his development thus far.

A lot of guys plateau early in their careers which might be the case for kylington or Andersson, but hanifin still seems to be rocketing upwards.
