Brown didn't come from nowhere?
Let's look at cra12's list:

Brown was ranked the 5th best prospect
back in July. Ahead of Laine, Dubois, Juolevi, Sergachyev, Nylander.
"oh, but he fell off early in the year". Okay, so he was struggling to build consistency early on. But things
like this were still posted midseason:

"This big fella is a conundrum to me as he has so much talent and projectable upside but ultimately I leave the rink after many Windsor games disappointed and wanting more from him. Reminds me of how I viewed Ryan Johansen in Portland during his draft season.

But did he find that consistency? As has been mentioned, yes, later in the season he was much more consistent. 29 points in his last 19 games, and a dominant U18s where he put up 4-9-13 in nine games.
So let's recap:
- Top 5 in this draft Upside has been there since before the season started.
- Consistency was an issue
- then Consistency stopped being an issue
- Being ranked top 5 in some final rankings while putting up very respectably draft year numbers as a 17 year old.
