I know this is ultimately something that doesn't matter (unless it is an underclassman obviously) but the mechanics on the Draft Big Board is very broken. I have a guy that is second in D1 in scoring at nearly 27 points a game that isn't on the top 100 prospects. In real life, a guy averaging 27 is going to AT LEAST be on radars.

Again, I know it really doesn't matter but I do think this is a fun addition to the game and one that needs to be fixed.

I don’t necessarily disagree, I think it would be more fun and realistic if the process recognized statistical output a little more, beyond the tiny bump a player gets from postseason awards. But I would not want a system where the fake NBA teams don’t look primarily at attributes. It would probably take quite a bit of testing to incorporate the right balance for gameplay, and I’m not holding my breath for a change like that.

In real life, Chris Clemons presently leads all D1 scoring at a whopping 30.0 ppg as a SR guard (and seems to be 4th all-time as well).

No mention of him in the best 100 players available in the upcoming 2019 NBA draft...

Scoring PPG can so easily be manipulated and doesn't take into consideration quality of opponents, attributes, etc.

Great point.

Maybe a mock draft should be added then? On NBADraft.net they have Clemons going in the late second round.

As I said, I know it isn't necessary, but a Power Conference player who is second in the nation in scoring, I would think, would be worthy of a top 100 spot.

Here is what Jay Bilas said about the player

Jeffries is a terrific college player who may not have a role at the next level. Ranked as the #62 shooting guard coming out of high school in the Bronx, he transitioned to PG at Va Tech. This season, he has exploded offensively which has brought him a lot of attention. Yet, he does not have elite speed (83) and his ball handling and passing (63 and 58) do not project for an NBA backcourt. What he does have is great defensive skills (90) and the full array of offensive talent (76 low and 90 peri) and top notch hoops IQ. If he could boost his rebounding (currently 31) NBA scouts would see him as a very interesting SF - even at 31 REB that is where some scouts see him at the next level.

Here's an honest question for the OP:

How many recruits do you look at their HS stats (the ones on his player card) and say it influences your decision to recruit him or not. I know I don't even look at them during recruiting as I know other than FT %, they are all window dressing.

Same should be said for NBA scouts recruiting NBA caliber talent.

I look at all high school stats as it shows a good understanding of player skills and how well he can do in a season. But eh since you think its window dressing I wouldn't be talking.
