Since this includes some years that are in sample for a number of the stats, I also looked at the last 3 seasons (19-20 predicting 20-21 to 21-22 predicting 22-23) which is out of sample for EVERY stat.
Did some testing of public all-in-one metrics by replicating past work of @Neil_Paine, @ElGee35 and @taylor_snarr but made some slight alterations. The method: merge the all-in-one metric with minutes in year Y+1, sum it up for the team and check the correlation with team win%.
There have been 154 players to play Division II basketball and make the NBA. Auburn forward Elyjah Freeman could be the next. In my latest Substack piece I explain why. Link in the replies ⤵️
My body is ready
Reed Sheppard started 3 games last season (with all of the Rockets starters sitting except Jalen Green) against OKC, LAL and LAC when all 3 teams were playing their starters and trying to win. In those games, Reed averaged: 20 PPG 5 APG 2 SPG 49% FG (22-45) 52% 3P (13-25)

The thing about NSJ is that it’s easy to feel like you’re over-indexing on his PU shooting equity because of how much his touch stands out as a singular trait. It’s not super likely he’s able to elevate his impact to the ceiling typically found in players w/ that similar talent…

Have heard this from a couple of ppl. As I've said. Steinbach is solid but not a player I'm IMMENSELY moved by

Last 15 seasons, the HS with most individual seasons of D1 Men's Basketball: 1. IMG 379 2. Montverde & Sunrise 303 (each) 4. Brewster 280 5. Hargrave 262 (Data obviously not 100.0% complete and has 1 school for players who played in multiple etc but still noteworthy)
Nick Smith is a guy my research this off season has taught me to bet on. He turned 21 shortly after end of season. So u21 he was 114-261 43.7% on 6+ft closest d/wide open 3s. Players w age/volume/efficiency since '14: Jaren Jackson & Hali. Special touch = plus development

Besides Bron, player who had most passes to Austin Reaves was obv AD. While Davis isnt selfish, he isnt very cerebral & timely with his deliveries. Below, Reaves after an AD pass in 2024-25(second pic directing Joseph). Last 2 yrs, 29% 3, 44% 2 off AD pass, 38.5&60.6 otherwise.

Fred VanVleet really is like a Fashion Nova Chris Paul. But I mean that in the best way possible. Cp3 is incredible. Players 6'2andless, 189lb and less since '11 wtih +0.4 D Darko&EPM, +0.8 O Darko &EPM.. 24 seasons, Cp3 has 6, Mario Chalmers has 2. VanVleet has 4. So slept on.
And here is 1993
I made a z-score of top metrics (I'd add lebron too but currently dont have access to a database, if accessible to me, i'd be greatful) So going to do a quick little "Yr over Yr age curve" for the top guys of the 90s, since I only started the age rankings in 2000. 1st one:
