Yep. He did not look like a star at all. He didn't really even look like a Prem caliber player.
It is fair to say that someone not being labeled a future star at 16/18/20 doesn't guarantee that they won't be one, but there is probably a decent success rate for players that do earn that label. Sure a ton still fizzle out, but it is an uncertain business.

Yeah I agree with this. I was a huge fan of sports at home (well, except the intolerable MLB), but by the time I was in high school I became bored with how they are setup. I love basketball, but it's an 82 game season where it will be completely predictable and a ton of games don't matter.
