There are plenty of analytical models out there that project probabilities on what a prospect will become in the future. Feel free to look a few of them up.

Historically, players of a similar ilk to Grushnikov don’t pan out to be much. I’d love for him to be an outlier and become the next Chris Tanev, but the odds of that just aren’t in his favor.
You said Conroy was either lying or the scouts are bad at their jobs. Or, mAybe the third option is they actually watched him play and see something they like.
