Every year as the Draft draws closer one word comes up in prospect discussions over and over again... potential. The super-freaky athletic types always get the most “potential” buzz in those conversations and are sometimes coveted more than their more skilled but less athletically gifted counterparts. And the younger, the better. Any prospect already old enough to drink legally is automatically considered to have less potential, less upside.
If you’re looking for future All-Stars, swinging for the fences isn’t a bad strategy in the draft but it’s often risky... especially in drafts like this one. This draft class has a lot of depth but no obvious, sure-fire All-Star prospects.
