| Scouting Report | Potential |
| His speed will never be a major force but it should develop sufficiently for him to compete at this level. His agility level will rise to the average range but I wouldn't anticipate much more than that. The likelihood is that his zone cover skills will never rise above average. He's expected to develop good instincts as he is given more playing time. |
