That is what the article is saying - this is a player with deficiencies but he has other extraordinary talents. You need to live with the deficiencies and encourage the extraordinary skill or you are going to waste the opportunity.

In the immediate future I'm more concerned with his physical readiness. He looks frail out there against the big boys, can't take a hit properly, gets hurt.
I can live with some defensive screw ups here and there, I'm more concerned today with him getting hurt often and playing scared. Again.....I would love to be proven wrong, but I have my doubts. Guess I'll cross my fingers and hope he does ok.
