Despite the fact that it is how things work now, justifying numbers considering bots makes no sense...
It makes perfect sense to me, but we can agree to disagree, friend.
Yes, in the past Spain and Italy maight have more ATG than USA...but never ever 9 in the same season...that is almost double of the highest number
The numbers across the board for HOFs and ATGs were increased this season due to the draft changes, but outliers are still outliers for a reason. It isn't normal and my guess is the USA never gets that many again. These outliers tend to mean a regression back to the mean pretty quickly.
