Potential is intoxicating but it's just potential and not proven yet. I'm not going to pass a verdict on this trade but it could go either way.
The national reporters have problems at the micro level. A lot of their info comes from what others have told them and not what they have seen themselves. They are paid to be talking heads, not evaluate talent on thier own necessarily.
