So, what would be the point then of even ranking prospects?
As I see it, the idea of a "ceiling" helps us as fans to process each players potential contribution to the team. I'm pretty sure no one here is guilty of believing that every player will realise their perceived potential, and furthermore, that every player is limited by it. It's an educated guess. Nothing more.
