@coachnatebdraft That's certainly possible. But similar risks are present for every prospect (except maybe boozer)

@les_boulez We don’t I could’ve worded it differently “Is there anything that gives you more confidence Steinbach doesn’t end up like other power forwards who didn’t have enough defense and shooting to make a significant impact in the league?” That’s better, no?
English
How do we know Steinbach doesn’t end up like TJ Leaf, Henry Ellenson, Marquese Chriss, etc

New on the site: every D-I player projection is now a full Bayesian posterior. On the preseason rankings and roster builder, you can drag each player's BPM within their 95% CI and watch team AdjEM recompute live.

@bballstrategy It's log scale. To translate stats from a league to another, the factor is exp(difference between the leagues)
English
@FPL_Mou What is the scale of the data/ proper way to read / use it?
English
@FPL_Mou At this point there are many cases where your model and I are not close but I should review everything again (and again and again probably).
English
@bballstrategy And a mean projection of +1 is rather high for my model. Only flagg and boozer have cleared it. While zion has the highest mvp probability observed so for
English
@bballstrategy The predicted means are probably compressed because it's a stats only forecast. If I factor in consensus draft rankings the predicted means would probably be more in line with something passing the smell test.
English
@bballstrategy While only boozer gets a +1 projection as a mean, ~11 prospects from the class are expected to reach that threshold in line with past years (~10 prospects every season clear that bar)

@bballstrategy I'd personally go pure model because my eye test/understanding of basketball isn't good enough to make subjective adjustments
English
@FPL_Mou Do you believe / practice going with pure model or using it as base with subjective adjustments?
English
@NBACouchside Even without some guys in that range the draft is rather deep
English
Bad news for teams (like the Bulls) with a pick in the 12-20 range. Even if you didn't like him for your team, it weakens the class in that part of the draft.
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
Mullins, who was projected to go in the 12-20 range of this year’s draft, is heading back to UConn.

G-RAPM now includes ucl data. Here is xG-RAPM as well. Improved my model so keeper ratings look better in the xG one. Can keep fiddling with it but ultimately going to add a prior next time
g-RAPM is last 15 years i think.
xG-RAPM is 2014/15–2025/26

@pmmbasketball Butler isn't a high 3pr guy
But he maxes out FTr and TO margins
English
The most useful modern day wings
- pg13 elite wing defense, super high 3pr
- Tatum high 3pr, all around very good
- kawhi good wing defense, efficient from everywhere
- kd historical efficiency play finisher.
All these guys also still struggle to be the driver themselves
English
his bottleneck is playmaking but
-don’t see him being the driver of a top 10 offense
- the rare non guards who drive good offenses thru playmaking are lebron and jokic
- inefficient ,low 3pr , is a mid defender, avg defender at best
Ur essentially asking him him to reincarnate
Paolos Attorney@PaolosAttorney
Paolo getting hate for his current play is 100% deserved but to put a cap on what he can and will be in the future and to say he can’t lead a team when we haven’t even seen him under a different coach is so idiotic
