Return on high school players drafted, by age

Rany:

(If you want the technical details: “Very Young” players were less than 17 years, 296 days old on draft day; “Young” players were between 17 years, 296 days and 18 years, 38 days; “Average” players were between 18 years, 38 days and 18 years, 120 days; “Old” players were between 18 years, 120 days and 18 years, 200 days; “Very Old” players were more than 18 years, 200 days old.)

I have a draft database with WAR all setup from my previous threads.  If I get a chance, I’ll try to perform some analysis as well.
