Its a good video, by the way.

I just HATE the online scouts everyone seems to become by watching a highlight video. Its a pet peeve of mine, one that I am sometimes guilty of as well. Its nothing personal.

The entire board should be shut down in the offseason then.

3 weeks ago nobody here had ever heard of Saric. Now half the board's disappointed that we won't get to draft him.

How many people here are actually basing opinions on actual games they've watched?

I'd say almost no one based off the way the board's collective mind changes on prospects weekly, daily, even though most of these guys haven't played in months.

I think your overall point is true, but I don't think this is accurate. Most people seem relieved that Demps won't be tempted to take a guy there aren't enough highlights and stats of to form a proper opinion.

Whether or not anyone has heard of him prior to a couple of weeks ago is irrelevant. You don't have to know who a prospect is prior to watch them play. There are game tapes out there if you can actually find them. If you're resourceful enough, it's not too hard to find.

Most players people have actually watched a good bit of, because they played college ball in the US.

International players are much more difficult, and I try not to make too many judgments on them because I simply haven't seen them play.

A highlight video of anyone is a horrible barometer.
