My point is that he is NOT that because his IQ has never been fostered or even challenged in his environment. But there is no doubt he's been playing the game at a faster pace than everyone else his entire life, and so never needed to learn anything else about the game, especially how to use teammates.
The guy has dragged a C+ level team to back-to-back finals. He SHOULD be at least a Crosby. But he's not and probably won't be at this point.
