Actually a legit question. But the hype has been there since he was 16. Only recently he been scoring a couple, and has size and decent technique so plenty of expectations gets heaped on him.
Young and tall players - NOT EVERYONE - peak very early because they can pushover everyone. Until they reach this level. Never seen the guy but I am skeptical just because he is italian and tall. Makes much sense, yes sense makes it, it does.
