Basic edicts that I live by as a scout/analyst:

Rank the players you've seen. Don't be dishonest. You're probably wrong about most of it. Stick your neck out for players you like AND have reasons for it.

300 player rankings aren't realistic, practical, or honest in most cases. https://twitter.com/JDylanBurke/status/1264956689989550080

I think J.D nails it in this thread. I never make it known or point people out but there are a lot of 'analysts' that put out rankings of all sizes, who have never watched the players play. Nothing is worse than when you ask about a player and you get "Well I've never seen him"
