This is not a good development for honest feedback:
Many teams have taken the approach of simply telling every player (and their agent) that they like, or even love them, to the point that many prospects have developed an incredibly unrealistic sense of where they actually stand.
Multiple NBA executives told The Vertical that they simply have no choice because dispersing real feedback will ultimately come back to haunt them. “What is the benefit of being honest and realistic about a player's chances, when all an agent will do is hold that against you down the line?” a source said.
