My original point in all this was to emphasize his value beyond this year. They will undoubtedly bring him along slowly, but he has a bright future IMO. He will grow with the team-he is still a few years away from his prime. I never said he would get 17+ minutes in TB, but he’ll get more than 10. You don’t pay the kind of price they did for a player you think will never be more than a third liner.
