Also have to take into consideration the fact that Byfield's competitiveness is one of the traits most often questioned by scouts and there's concern over his ability to step up in games that matter the most, whereas Lafreniere is absolutely praised for his competitiveness, clutch factor and drive to be the absolute best possible player he can be.
Byfield has a chance to be an excellent #1 center that every team of dream of having, but you absolutely take Lafreniere if you're drafting first. There was zero debate all season about Lafreniere being the consensus #1 over Byfield. Instead, there's no debate about whether Stutzle has surpassed Byfield.
