That's a big "if".....when his other contributions are in much bigger demand.
I have no doubt he has the skill to do so but his offense is more sorely needed than his ability to shut down others. If he could do both together, that would be best case scenario. It would also make him bordering on elite level...which i think is a huge reach. He is a terrific player and is a big part of things now...just not convinced there is another level there.
