Spallina is incredibly skilled with the ball, obviously.  He does not strike me though as an ankle breaker like Gray, Sowers, or Kavanaugh (or even Behrmann from his same class), a glider like Bernhardt or Moore, or an athletic beast like O'Neill.  He's not bad athlete by any means, but does not seem to have a single elite athletic trait (size, strength, speed, quick- maybe balance).  While in high school, he has good size and probably well-above average athleticism, he will not stand out in this way in college.  Dropping your shoulder into a kid that hit puberty three years ago is very different than dropping your shoulder into a man that's been in a college strength and conditioning program for three years.

I have no reason to believe he will be anything but very successful at Syracuse.  It just strikes me that both he and Hiltz are kind of average athletically, and it would be nice pair them with someone who can blow by.  Even if that person doesnt carry the ball that often.
