He is a good laner, good sustain, good 1v1 potential, he can make use of expensive items, little bit mana issues. But since you get a Philo anyway that isnt that much of a problem. The reason why he isnt played top is that he is just such an awesome jungler and people dont dare to play something else than the meta because... its the meta.

To sum it up. He is good, not awesome but definetely worth a try and you wont regret unless you get countered.
