For the purposes of this article, a prospect is defined as a player who is currently on their rookie contract and HASN'T been named to an All-Star game or an All-League team, so someone like a Clyde Drexler has graduated from "prospect" status, for the sake of these rankings. With that said, here are my evaluations post TC of season 10. Spliced the data into some simple pivots beneath the rankings chart for a more digestible view on Teams, Ceilings and Floors. Enjoy, and I'm not interested in your arguments.
