Who would you rather have on your team for the next 3 years?

By , 12:15 PM

A fairly young player whose projection is a combined offensive and defensive lwts of +10 per 150 who is perceived as being a little lazy, unfocused, and generally very talented but doesn’t play up to his ability.

Or a player of the same age who is projected at +5, but who works his ass off and is perceived to stay focused and give 100% effort all the time?
