Pre-draft signals All patterns
How players with the same pre-draft traits have done against their draft slot, 2000–2021 NBA classes. 50% = a typical pick.
| Age at draft 23 or older | 48.6% n=138 | |
| Path to the draft US college | 53.2% n=1,015 | |
| Position Guard | 48.9% n=499 | |
| Draft slot vs. ESPN pre-draft rank Taken 10+ picks before ESPN's rank | 33.8% n=272 |
Estimate: 46% chance he beats his draft slot (typical pick: 50%). From a simple logistic model on age, path to the draft and position only; it ranks past picks only modestly better than a coin flip (AUC 0.56), so treat it as a lean, not a forecast. Method
