i don't think people meant that with any kind of pergorative, rather just some surprise...
"Best" is a subjective terms and posters are undoubtly looking at it slightly differently from one another... but from my perspective, it was a poll about who could be a future all-star.
With prospects, most people don't have a lot to go on, other than scouting reports, highlight tapes, measurables and of course, past production and consistency of productions, and finally big wins...
As an informal poll, i am sure there are people that 'take flyers' on kids, but if the stakes were something like "IF your life depended on the pick", i wonder if people would recalibrate their selections...
