potential as a dominant D1 force — I'd be more willing to see it in terms of the unequivocal — if Gavin simply weren't so stiff & upright in his movements.

His length, speed & athleticism are all legit, though (& his strength isn't a negative anymore, either). In terms of strictly measurables, his potential is off the charts, no question. But it isn't just his lack of skills that makes one take pause regarding his ceiling. (We have to keep in mind regarding his lack of skills, too — this is hardly a kid who is new to the game. He's been playing it his whole life.)
