KCP will be like Butler & Leonard - no one will give him respect until it so damn obvious that it can't be denied
Funny that Maker got named - based on what?

Yeah, basically young guys with great athleticism. They have upside, because they can be great if they develop good skills.
Harris doesn't have freak athleticism. He probably is who he is. KCP is fast in line to line speed, but isn't particularly remarkable in any other athletic department.

KCP should be 8th on here, problem is none of the national media have any clue what they are talking about, just going off basic stats.

Being a fairly quiet guy who just shows up and does his job on a team that gets very little national coverage I don't expect KCP to get much recognition. But eventually, people will recognize how good he is.
