I think I agree with kccrow's take above, it's the hand usage. To me, it looks like his hands and feet just don't coordinate and he gets his weight too far forwards and reaches and over balances. I don't think his balance and ability to recover look all that special.
Athletically he could be as gifted as Conerly, and he's probably stronger, but Conerly looks a more ready prospect to me because he doesn't suffer from any of the above.
Perhaps as Crow says he could move inside temporarily before moving back out. I realise that whatever happens he needs time, but I still would much prefer him at guard.
