I assume the question is "can someone be super talented based on the raw ingredients alone?" and yes, yes they can. Memphis probably
could do things that few others could, but he seems to lack the football IQ needed to string together the inputs and create solid output, so it remains to be seen whether or not he
will come to do things few others can on a consistent basis -> be elite.
So I think you can make a clear distinction between a great player and a great talent.
It's early days and I haven't really delved into it (that is, I'm going by the famous eye-test) but Martial, for instance, seems to be miles ahead of Memphis in football IQ.
