I respectfully disagree with your first part that workouts are a more accurate measure of tools, although I do agree with your general premise that longer follows may indicate tool consistency.
Remember, the idea here is to identify tools, project them, and then measure them against the player's ultimate goal to then formulate a development plan for that player. Call it their blueprint for success.
