2022 NBA Draft: #37 Jaden Hardy (6' 3", 6' 9" WS) to DAL | two 2nds to SAC

[ItsGoTime]

Does anyone have any insight on what the actual numbers are of projects that work out in the NBA?

I dont know how significant the skills are that these players need to add to their game or how difficult those skills are to acquire to be NBA playable for decent minutes in a playoff game.

My ultimate question is if there is a formula for how or when to choose a project over the BPA or the tallest LEGIT 2way player on the board?

I just assume you should draft tallest LEGIT 2way player available consistently to accumulate a pipeline of playable players that can be used for your team or are/would/should be considered decent assets in trades to other teams.  Obviously you draft BPA of team need in certain cases.

To paint a mental picture...Im drafting 6'5 LEGIT 2way over 6'9 potential almost every time.  Then...using that pipeline of playable player for my own team or in a trade for a more "star" player.

Im just officially out on "potential" players that are currently one trick ponies.

You seem to be asking for/demanding an easy, fool-proof way to cheat the draft. I think that’s been Cuban’s downfall from the start in thinking there is some way to do that and when he couldn’t find it, he gave up on the draft all together.
