I can't claim to know more than the average person who reads scouting reports and catches highlight reels.
Acknowledging those limitations, my impression is that he is really that good in his own right. He has the ability to take over a game and the drive to improve. He isn't perfect and there are things he needs to work on, but nothing that can't be overcome. I have read criticisms that he needs to work on his board play and that he can lose his man when back checking. These aren't uncommon things that even great prospects need to work on.
