Judging players by simply watching them perform – or doing the “eye test” – is frowned upon nowadays.
With thousands of analytics available that tell the entire story, relying on just the eye test to create a perception about a certain player is almost disrespectful to the game itself.

As a slender player who lacks explosion, Porter doesn’t look the part of a star and his game doesn’t reflect it either.
