I can't wait for games to get underway and to keep updating the board, but for now I feel pretty good about having a nice list of names in place. I feel certain I forgot a few very worthy candidates, especially in International play, but I can't help but think I at least got *mostly* everybody.
I have it separated into 4 categories (Probables, Borderline, "Take a Flyer", and Watch List), which I suppose are mostly akin to tiers but not necessarily always the case, since some players just have more variable stock than others. There are a few "Probables" that are almost certainly 2nd round picks. Meanwhile, I have Yohan Traore leading off the "Borderline" candidate list. Does Traore have arguably higher stock than, say, Armando Bacot? Sure, I buy it, but I think Armando Bacot is a LIKELIER pick to be drafted this year, at least right now. So that's mostly the approach I'm trying to take with the categories. I tried to kinda rank the players in the first 3 categories, but I just have the "Watch List" category listed alphabetically.
Anyways, here it is!
