For draft scouts watching as many games as possible is great to recoup information about a prospect, but watching the right games - games that are challenging for the player and truly highlight their strengths and weaknesses is even more important. With that, I decided to try to gain some statistical information from prospects using their stats in Quad 1, Quad 2, Quad 3, and Quad 4 level games, to see if the leap in competition from each quad could stifle a player's production. First case study is a lot of people's top ranked college prospect, Cody Williams out of Colorado. He missed some games through the month of December, but we have enough games to list in every Quad. I'll try to do profiles for as many college players I can from here on out.
Note: I did this off of sheer math so if there are any mistakes that's on me.
