Actually, if he has good skills, and because of his size, I would put him at middie.
Because of his size, if he has good form, he can probably shoot pretty fast, and he still gets to play defense.
If he has his heart set on playing d, well, buying a lighter shaft could work, and cutting it down to his height is the other option that might work. However, I would just have him practice more, that's what makes you better.
Increasing strength will help with controlling it the stick.
