"I took my son to a couple PG showcases early on. In retrospect I wish I hadn’t ."
"The PG grade definitely matters...to the players and sometimes the parents, especially the crazy baseball obsessed ones"

I'm admit guilty of this. Even though I have an older kid and should have known better. Perhaps this explains my animus towards PG. A small part of me was not 100% sure if there wasn't some sort of a gain to be had by an early high PG grade. I believe that EVERY coach looks at a kids the PG profile at least once and it couldn't hurt to have a positive write up and a 8.5 score or higher. right? lol. But with some poor decision making, I sent my kid to one last winter and graded 7.5 despite being 90th plus percentile in every metric. Now I live in constant temptation of going to just... one... more... damn... PG showcase to clear that grade. And relying on TBPT to regularly beat me with a reality stick.
