For all the posts claiming "there have been extensive case studies on the draft and draft prospects"...which lead to the conclusion that "abandoning the draft is the smarter play"...
All these highlight vids...is there a website/youtuber that breaks down athletes using only video of said prospect against either extremely organized defensive teams or against legit D1 talent? I dont want to get into an e-argument with yall about the wording D1...you know what I am trying to suggest. Im aware that not all prospects are in D1. I WANT TO ONLY SEE HIGHLIGHTS AGAINST LEGIT TALENT.
It makes sense to me.
College sucks for sports. They play power programs against small no talent schools(yes, i get it that it brings money to the small schools). I dont want to see highlights of that.
Before you chime in with "Make your own highlights" or "Do it yourself"...why dont the people making the videos do that? I dont have a camera, skills or time to do it.
What I am ultimately getting at is...there has to be traces that lead someone to figure out how Jokic or Tyrese Maxey will lead to being NBA ballers. There has to be tape that proves these guys were destined to be better than guys drafted in front of them.
I dont believe in luck with basketball. Either teams are making dumb decisions and over reaching for "potential" players(guys with measurements) instead of solid high floor guys...or its all bullshit.
Somethings got to give here.
Anyway. I hope Mavs, if they draft at 26, choose the highest floor guy that fits their scheme. Not some 20 year old Euro soccer player turned bball prospect with crazy athleticism and measurements.
