"and his defensive stats are pretty low"

Compare his base hp, armor, and stat growth to other AD carries. It's actually one of, if not, the highest.

He doesn't need a gap closer, he's a ranged AD. Perhaps you mean an escape which many AD carries lack actually.

He's not going to be an amazing late game carry who dominates teamfights when opposed to equally geared enemies. He needs to shutdown his enemy's farm and get early kills to gain an advantage.

Thankfully, he has free on-hit, high range skill shot, proc burst, aoe slow drop plus Heal debuff, and several of his abilities scale with AD. Meaning, he's going to have an easy time dominating in lane if you know how to leverage his abilities and passive well.
