And I would be lying to you if I said that I thought that was like indefensible.

Some of the scouts in this business that I trust the most, you know, who I've talked to for seven, eight years and who I pay a lot of attention to and they really like a guy.

are extremely high on Caleb Mahotra.

The scoring profile at the end of the day is solid.

It's not Barrett Hayden-like.

It clears this.

It's, you know, in the Duchesne, Nick Suzuki realm.

It's also kind of in the Jordan Stahl realm.

Like, there are lower-end outcomes here.

But when you do watch him play and when you see the playmaking and when you see...

how he combines his physical play, how long he is, how disruptive he is.

Like, I get it.

You know, and again, by the way, I would say Caleb Malhotra, despite being 6'2", is also a victim of the dumb size thing because his reach is so massive.

That while he's listed at 6'2", I think he's got the sort of defensive impact of, like, a 6'4 guy.

Like, I would say this, too.

Huge guy.

Like, 6'2 sounds great, but it's actually underselling.

It's actually underselling how disruptive and long he is.

Yeah.

And, like, you know who another guy who was like this, even though he was massive, was Anze Kopitar.
