Following on from yesterday’s community poll we have another. In a recent article, the Ringer’s Zach Kram recently broke down the “Young Core Rankings” where I’m not gonna lie, I was surprised to find that the Celtics were ranked only 8th best in the league for players under 25 years of age. Kram used a convoluted “projected futures forecasting” AKA voodoo science to achieve these scores and parameters.
I don’t believe we have an exact metric to grade young talent and we’ve seen in the past that this kind of thing can be flipped on it’s head or even thrown out the window entirely after a solitary break-out season.
