People presumed he could/would run advanced routes because they saw fast feet. Turns out they haven't translated apart from the jitterbug shit.
Projecting skills and traits from a guy who may have been mis-used I understand. But something like technique? I just don't get what we were thinking there. Technique needs to be demonstrated on tape and I just can't imagine he did so. Especially not based on what we've seen.
It was just an odd selection.

If anything, seemed people were concerned he fell to KC.
