Great piece Tyler, I agree with nearly everything you’ve written, but don’t have the means to personal evaluations for all these players. That’s where No Ceilings provides most of what I can’t evaluate. Thanks Tyler for your expertise, and all you do!!

Really interesting piece. Loved the point about off nights. Watching a prospect when their shot isn’t falling is really interesting. How they react to struggles and controversies is fascinating.

Thank you Benjamin for taking the time to read it! I agree, you can learn a lot about a specific individual with how they handle themselves during adversity

Great piece, Tyler! Really enjoyed your thought process and “first principles” of scouting.. the portion on “stick to your gut” resonated most, as I believe that’s the most enjoyable part of it, taking big swings and enjoying the process tho it can be tricky as the media cycles get loud!
