Lets look over the pond for a moment to Kazuhiko Torishima and Takenori Ichihara, both chief editors of Shonen Jump, with very impressive track records of editing some of the top manga.

It is extremely common that they will find an artist who cannot draw very well at all, who cannot write very well either, but it is their job as editor to look past that and see their potential, to see what they can become if supported.
Often an editor will latch onto and form an exclusivity deal with an artist up to several years before they're ready to produce anything worthy of publication. They will stay in contact with them, and push them in the right direction.
