Quick Fact on the #27 Pick

[Doublea]

Gobert has the highest Per of the #27 draft picks in the last 25 years.

Who is the guy that also had a good per in 1995?

 

[Tony]

Probably Dennis Rodman

The guy in 1995 was Mario Bennett who put up a 18.9 Per. I'm assuming Dennis Rodman was before 1989 and that's why he isn't shown.

Well... wikipedia says the 27th pick of the 1995 draft is mario bennett... who played a grand total of 68 games in the NBA ever. He can't have had such a high PER could he? Are you sure the info is all correct?

edit: he had a PER of 22.2 in 45 games one season, while scoring 3.9pts and 2.8rbs in 7.9 minutes. so that pushed his average PER up lol

So what I take from this is that PER can be very misleading.

All data has to be looked into.

Greatest 27th pick ever?

I think most teams viewed him as a high potential player, but was 4-5 years away. Also previous bust centers with freak wingspans Alexis Ajinca and Bismack Biyombo really made GMs think twice about Gobert.
