Unfortunately, we'll not get the opportunity to see what he could have done with 2 full seasons under his belt. Injuries and pretty good depth at his position hampered him.
He was on my list of possible break out contenders for next year. Don't think he was ever going to be a starter, but also feel that he could have developed into a nice 7th-9th man role player had he stuck around.
Completely see him not wanting that role though and wish him nothing but the best. Someone is going to get a player with potential, heart, and hustle.
