what are the rating based on..i know what the potenial rateings are based on but are the first ratings based on what they have done this year?...as far as potienal rating just about every pick every year would be high because thats what they are picked off of
I agree. You have to have some kind of basis for your ratings.
Is Lebron a 100? Is Kobe a 100? Then Tyreke Evans is more like a 51.
butidonthavethemoney has a basis, and seems to be very realistic. The rest of you should follow suit if you want to participate (or, be taken seriously) in this activity.
It seems in perspective these are a little high unless they are compared to one another, the standard for 100 would have to be Shaq's and Lebron's, and potentials of Kobe and Garnett, so they would all be quite low rated because after griffin and maybe rubio who else is going to be a perenial all-star.
I was comparing the draft prospects against one another when I did my rankings. I wasn't comparing them to LeBron & Kobe. I rated them based on how good they are now and how good of nba player they have the potential to become in the future.
This draft actually isn't that weak. I hear people say that all the time but there will be plenty of quality nba players that come out of this draft.
Some peoples ranking were just a little to high probably, know body really noes their potential until drafted by a team and the role the coaches give them and their desire to win and not worry about stats. I think this draft is average with a couple stars. Griffin for sure (based on the clipps) and maybe a hand full more! Name me the top 5 prospects to be allstar-superstar.
Jennings, Holiday, Harden have all-star potential. Give them about 3 years to adjust to the nba. I don't see many all-stars in this draft but I see a ton of guys that will stay in the league for a long time.
I based my grades off of the players in the draft against eachother. I had no comparisons to LeBron or Dwight potential wise either.

Give them a rating from 50-100 on their current skill level in the draft
and a rating for potential
Example:Rubio 96
Potential 100
