    Sure, with this weak HVYWT division I would bet a prime Michael Grant would dominate.

    Another problem is today's amateur game. It's so different from the pro game that a young talented kid would be learning and practicing a style that is completely ineffective in the pros. Thus, a longer learning curve when he does go pro.
