Good decision. He didn't do anything to embarrass himself, aside from a few rookie mistakes. And at his age & level of development he should only get better. Plus the benefit of a 6ft4, 215 lbs body will really help them. I'm so tired of them running out 5ft10 inch, 180 lbs guys on defense
Guy has underated poise and zipping tape to tape passes. Couple years to see if he can put it all together. Him and Risto should be an ok third pair for the bad season coming up
