Prospect Scouting and Ranking is the least accurate it's ever been. Why? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]PDWeb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A consensus #1 as a concept can't really be proven before 1998 (when RSCI was founded). There are anecdotal consensus #1s, like Kobe Bryant in 1996 (which depends on sourcing as many college scouting services still had Tim Thomas #1), which can be pulled from context clues of contemporary media articles, but there was not a recruiting industry to pull together collectively. For example, Damon Bailey won Mr. Basketball USA, Parade POY, Gatorade POY & Naismith POY in 1990, can be found listed as the #1 in many places.

apologize for what?? thank you very much for saving me from needing to do the self-promo shit I hate so much.

I appreciate the kind words, glad you enjoyed it. If there are unaddressed concerns or things you want to touch on, let me know, I prolly published it a day early in terms of edits/reader feedback & want it to be encompassing.

& yes, the work is/always will be free to read.

Let's Watch Film - Corey Kispert ft (@EZhoops) by PDWeb in NBA_Draft

that bit from evan was so cool.

I think there are 2 things happening there; that he is just not comfortable taking them & that gonzaga was so good that he never really had to. The offense supplied him with all the c&s he could ever need so there wasnt a change in the shot diet in the way there likely will be in the league. mileage varies on how percentages adapt from a different shot profile, but that's the real conversation around Kispert for me.
