Do people just think 6โ3โ means they are getting drafted? There is a lot more to it
There is no expectation for these kids to be fully baked. Cale Makar was 5โ6โ in his WHL draft. Not sure size tells you much at this age. Only about a third of those drafted will play a meaningful number of games in the league and more than half of those donโt play in their first year. These teams arenโt in a rush for first year players so they make bets on potential. A lot of picks likely donโt make sense because scouts arenโt looking at the same things parents are.
