My dream draft would somehow also acquire Walton Clayton Jr. but definitely it’s Yang over him
Doesn't this result in essentially the same measure? Just a different scale. But everyone is in exactly the same position relatively.
Here's a really simple metric I created by dividing BPM by age. I had to do this manually so I only have the top 30 players from tankathon (note they don't have BPM for international players). Here are the players that had a BPM/Age > 0.5:
Flagg - 0.88
CMB - 0.60
Jase - 0.59
VJ - 0.57
Kon - 0.54
Khaman - 0.53
Thiero - 0.50
Clayton Jr. - 0.50
Flagg - 0.88
CMB - 0.60
Jase - 0.59
VJ - 0.57
Kon - 0.54
Khaman - 0.53
Thiero - 0.50
Clayton Jr. - 0.50
Meant to say AST^1.5. Idk what a good exponent is….but the idea is that high assist, high turnover is weighted higher than lower assist, low turnover.
Yeah, after I replied, I wondered if that's what you meant. Makes sense.
Players drafted in the top-20 with less than 5 dunks and a BLK% of 1 or less:
Trae Young
Collin Sexton
Kemba Walker
Jimmer Fredette
Austin Rivers
Rob Dillingham
Luke Kennard
Kendall Marshall
Denzel Valentine
Bub Carrington
Cole Anthony
Keyonte George
Jalen Hood Schifino
Shane Larkin
Guess who’s going to join this list this year?

It is when you aren’t a smaller guard.
Yes it is Kon
In the end it doesn't matter if he can't dunk if he is finishing at the rim, and it doesn't matter if he isn't getting blocks if he has a low fg% against, but as an indicator for base line athleticism it is concerning.
Eh, and who isn't on that list? Seems like another unethical query to begin with.
My biggest concern about Kon athletically is watching him help and recover. It's where his lack of foot speed really stands out.
VJ, Tre, Fears, Jase, etc
He also has a basic handle and basic counters/moves.
I meant that everyone on that guard is a small guard. We found a query that only has Kon, Jakobe Walter, and Denzel Valentine. Cool I guess.
FWIW I'm not a big guy on looking at stats to compare prospects. I think leagues/teams/situations are so different it's really difficult to say what is good for a specific situation is better than someone else in a completely different situation. My preference is to compare film and then use stats to confirm/refute what I think I'm seeing.
I've just gotten to the point with this draft that I'm really struggling to get excited about very many players. So I'm currently trying to pull out some stats that help me decide who I should got back and take a second look at.
