- Title
The Determinants of Draft Position for NBA Prospects.
- Authors
Evans, Brent A.; Pitts, Joshua D.
- Abstract
Using NBA draft data from the 2006-2015 NBA seasons, the authors estimate models predicting draft selection, finding that points, assists, and blocks per-40-minutes of play during a player's final college season are all correlated with being selected earlier in the NBA draft among the entire player pool in the dataset. However, secondary findings indicate that not all player characteristics are valued evenly among different player-types. Taken in unison, findings suggest that the selection of players in the NBA draft can indeed be predicted using college statistics and other control variables, but models lumping all players may provide misleading results.
