IMO, it almost doesn't matter. The question is- does Sutter give him a chance? I think most teams would give this kid a shot in the lineup, but ultimately, I believe he'll spend a bit of time with the Wranglers. The Avs' highly touted prospect, Alex Newhook (who is of a similar size and skillset to MC), was drafted in the first round (#16), and spent parts of the last 2 seasons in the minors, after 2 seasons in the NCAA. There are plenty of similarities between the two players statistically.
Coronato is tied for 3rd in the NCAA in Pts/g with 1.57. Three of his teammates, Sean Farrell, Alex Laferiere, and Henry Thrun, are also in the top-10 in this statistic. Are Coronato's stats a little inflated because of this? Even mighty Michigan doesn't have that.
