Those are called outliers. The average late first round pick in the NBA draft amounts to nothing and is not statistically any better than a player drafted in the second round.

Half of those guys aren't late picks and the others are exceptions to the rule. Picks 20-60 there are usually only a 1-5 solid guys.

Do you have anything at all to back that up?

This is not debatable. Look at any year of the draft. You're not gonna find many mainstays of the NBA beyond pick 20.

I picked 2011 at random' and it actually did fairly well. 5 solid players by my count. 2 of them are stars. That makes 35 scrubs, 6 of them never played a minute.

2010, there are 4 guys that had good runs, but 2 of them already fell off. One of them is a star. 36 scrubs.

We took a secret vote your punishment is as follows

1. Ape pees on you every Tuesday and Thursday.

2. We are taking your toaster and you can't buy a new one for a year.

3. On the next group camping trip you have to share a tent with Tony.

4. You have to send me various superhero themed TV pics once a week.

"Slow white boys" cause UCLA to fail. Racism is racism. If this had been said by some one not of color he would have been castigated. Not trying to instigate anything but if we are going to be successful in bringing an end to it once and for all it must come from all parties. :no:

Unfortunately it will never end some individuals on both sides like it.

Its actually easier than the NFL draft.

The NBA has few can't miss players. The odd part is you never know when they are going to come. In some cases they get grouped together. For instance the famous draft with Jordan. The LeBron draft is the same. The biggest problems is NBA executives over analyzing thinks. Going on potential of likes of Darko Milic when known commodities are available. I feel in the NFL. While the potential versus known commodities still cost teams in draft. A bigger issue is converting players hiding deficiencies from college schemes or easier to star as QB when loaded with talent like Reggie Bush and Matt Leinert. Or Alabama's defenses are great as sum of 11 but you rarely get can tell how they will be when they get exclusive attention as individuals. Double teams etc... In the NBA most of the game is free flowing which isn't that far from college except all the zone defenses they will never see in the NBA. So basically you know what you are getting in the NBA. the problem is so few game changers available.

The NFL has more success in the later rounds than the whole NBA Draft.

That helps make my point. NBA evaluations are easier hence the lack of gems late in the draft while those are common in the NFL. That doesn't mean NFL evaluators are better. Its means they're worse since they allowed great talents to slide in the draft.
