yer he is pretty good. IS can be remedied by training 1n1 for forwards.
but certainly starting at atrocious means he won't ever get to sensational IS or something like that, unless u train a lot of it.
JR coulda been a bit higher as well. But still, half a season of JR training would get him up to Respectable or thereabouts early on, so ... 18 years old, can't be too disappointed.
