Just wanted to clarify on the context of how I look at player comps. It’s obviously impossible to find a 1 to 1 match of playstyle from 1 prospect to 1 nba player let alone 5 nba players…
If you’ve ever spent endless hours juggling tabs, spreadsheets, and shot charts trying to actually understand NBA Draft prospects, then this is for you.
Welcome to Overthinking the NBA Draft:
https://t.co/zQhiK5CJR3
We wanted to build a customizable workspace for fans, scouts, and content creators to analyze their favorite prospects, all in one place.
Here’s what we’ve built so far:
The War Room — Fully customizable dashboard with player cards, stats, tables, and custom data visualizations.
Shot VZN — Custom shot charts with 13 zones based on ESPN shot coordinates.
Chart Lab — Create custom data visualizations, charts, and tables using over 250 stats in our database
Draft Sim — Simulation with 15+ years of GM tendencies for the most realistic draft sim tool
Draft IQ — AI assistant that can answer any queries on the 2026 NBA Draft using any information in our database.
It's a beta. Things will break. Tell us what's missing and how to improve.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
@duragactivitty@hdnjem@DetroitBardy I've never did it only based on ppg I look at a lot of factors outside of exact playstyle matches. A lot of the debates on a player's spot on the chart is based on perspective and how you're judging them. And it's all opinionated so I can't please everyone.
@hdnjem@duragactivitty@DetroitBardy That's what I mean. I like Swain a lot but like you said he's a guy that's going mid 1st Rnd so being an Evan Turner + starting on a solid team (avg like 15,5,4) would be a great outcome for him.
