And Mahoney mentioned, that's why it was so difficult to evaluate and probably why someone like Alexi Protis fell to the third round.
But really you look at that play and you say to yourself, like that's first round value.
But because he still hadn't grown and he hadn't stopped growing, it was really hard to evaluate that player.
So part of the trick here is you project out what's this player going to be like at 23 and have they stopped growing?
and get all like Aristotelian on here, but like Aristotle would always talk about things in two states, potentiality and actuality.
Those are the two states that we all exist in.
