With the conclusion of this season, it is possible to make an evaluation of the players performance. To do so, we evaluate the player with above average ratings (+6) obtained by players born in the year 2000 or later. The choice of this year is due to the fact that players born in or after this year are, at most, 23 years old. In addition, to obtain a list of players with relevant ratings, we only present players who have played, at least, 1000 minutes in one of the predefined types of defense.
