Im considering anyone under the age of 23 a part of their team’s “young core”
This ranking is going to be based on both a mixture of current success of the players and their potential. For example, a guy like Keegan Murray might be better than a guy like Cam Whitmore, but Cam Whitmore has more potential so it evens out in a way. Hope you get it.
