From the episode

we shouldn't have the expectations that we have that this guy is going to be a first round pick type of talent in 2026... there is normally at least the first year following a production dip... he'll still need to be ramped up throughout the season as well.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Despite being an elite player, Nabers should not be expected to perform as a first-round pick type of talent in 2026 due to historical research showing production dips following ACL reconstruction in the first year back.
