He grew up just fine.

What are Hanafin’s actual GF% and GA60? I understand the value of x stats as an alternate view of player performance, but it’s a strange way to judge a player’s long term body of work. A player who underperforms their x stats for a while might be considered unlucky, but to do it over years says they lack talent. Results matter.
I have no idea what Hanafin’s long term x vs actual stats are, this is just a comment on the use of the x stats in general.
