2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I can see it as a better measurement of size, as you may have a long neck and big head but that doesn't do much for your overall size. Shoulder height is a direct reflection of overall size, when you think about it. Like in Fletch, when he was 6'4", but 6'8" with the afro.

it sorta does though - it affects visibility. it's harder to pass or shoot if a head is in your way vs only having arms.

Eh an extra inch in your neck it not as much an advantage an extra inch in the torso or legs.

Wow, pretty wild to average those stats in the Euroleague, even on a bad team.

Those aren't his actual stats. He played 13 minutes and only in half of their games and averaged 3,2ppg.

That x100poss is some wild *** extrapolation, purely to hype the man.

His team's pace was 70 poss per game in the Euroleague. So that stat is: what if instead of 13 minutes he had played 57 minutes in every 40 minute game he suited up for...

13 minutes or 13 mpg?

Just checked it. It was 13 mpg. That is still wildly good for an 18 year old in the Euroleague. Posting per 100 possessions stats isn't wild for a 13 mpg player, that's nearly 1/3rd of the game

Posting per36 isn't wild (although per30 would be more suitable for FIBA rules) . Posting x100poss is wild for Euroleague. Everyone understands what per36 means: if you'd been a starter playing max minutes. You can't play 57 minutes in 40 minute games and a stat to describe what someone would've done HAD they played 57 minutes is just silly.

I'm confused why 100 possessions is so wild. I think most people know what a possession is and they are used across the board for the sake of consistency

Because comparing those numbers gives out completely unrealistic results. 13/8 with great efficiency in the Euroleague as a 18yo makes you the guaranteed top pick in the draft and everyone's tanking to get you.

#1: The pace of play. In the NBA 100, for his Euroleague team 70. Per100 is a good comp for teams actually playing 100 poss per game. It only inflates when it's actually 70.

I think everyone understands that per 100 is not per game...

What is it for then? If he had played a full 1½ games for each game? If he had played 4½ times the minutes he actually had? That number is completely meaningless for comparison to any other Euroleague player. It's not a good ppg, not great, not amazing - just irrelevant.

It's for comparisons to all prospects across various leagues my guy and the important numbers are the percentages.
