I still have him number 3 on the prospect list because when a player has talent, like he does, and adds size, like he's starting to do, it's really just the head part and then maintaining confidence.
Last year, the big story line with him was how appreciative he was in how much Pospisil helped and pushed him during offseason training. But from his interview yesterday:
"This year, [...] I pushed [Pospisil...] because I want to be better than him."
It wasn't made as an arrogant comment--although you can see with his grin, he knows how it'll land with Pospisil--but a mature comment around the progress he's made (that whole interview was pretty mature).
He's going to be fun to watch this year.
