I have to disagree with this. I think someone's potential changes over time depending on changes they make to their approach. I don't think we should view potential as some kind of raw potential numbers. I don't think that would be particularly useful anyway. I think we should see it as "this is the guy's potential if he continues to play as he does and improves."
