Suggestion


Much more diversity in scouts' opinions on potential. And have a much higher % of players' with better potential... that may just never get realized.

Reason


Realism. There are an abnormally larger number of players in the draft that have the exact same potential ratings as their current skills ratings. Even 16 and 17 year old high school kids. I don't think it's remotely realistic that a scout is going to say, "this 16-year-old has peaked". They may never progress or get better or "realize their potential". But most, if not all, amateur draftees should have some level of expected improvement. A much higher % of players should have a potential rating that their not going to reach, and this would make betting on a player to reach potential more like the guessing game that it really is.

Priority

Low
