I'm not sure what you mean by that?
I think he's a fine writer. Not as good as Timothy Zahn, Norton or Zelazny but definitely one of the better writers out there.
As for Hugos - the whole point of the 'sad puppies' movement was to demonstrate that the Hugos were incredibly easy to sway. Well, that was easy to do. This year, there's another organized group of people who are used to voting for their personal preferences instead of literary merit. It's a battle of 2 entrenched interests instead of just being an echo chamber like the past few years. Nobody is really interested in voting for good writing regardless of content anymore.
