When teams do tryout evaluations, most of them use a 7 or 10 point scale. For example, on the 10 point scale a good play earns a player an 8, 9, or, 10, while bad plays earn them lower numbers. However, at the end of every session I have ever evaluated there are always players with no numbers, players who never stood out for good or bad. These players get a single 5; they didn’t make a difference one way or another.
My editor suggested the idea of evaluating Brandon Gormley’s play to me, and I was flabbergasted at first.
