There are 19 years who are ready, there are 17 year olds that are ready. There are 27 years who aren't. His age isn't a thing because progression is not necessarily linear. To say he's just 20 assumes that at some point when hes not 20 he will be ready, there's nothing to say that's the case. He's playing right now, he needs to be able to offer what is needed right now.

So judge them as they are in their development

I'm not judging them like they are Michael Owen at 17

Saying a player at 20 in their context should be offering and judged the same as a seasoned pro at 25/26 is just dumb
