Analysis of Presti's draft picks over the last dozen years. The ones that he kept, so no Sengun, Brandon Clarke, Immanuel Quickly, Eric Bledsoe et al.) since 2010.

Good(3): Gidday, Chet, Steven Adams

Okay (3): Manny, Wiggy, J8,

Meh(5) JRE, J6, Mitch McGary, Cam Payne,.Maledon

Bad (11): Bambi, AusMan, Poku, T-Fern, Kevin Hervey???, Devon Hall, Dakari Johnson, Alex Abrines, Perry Jones III, Josh Huestis,

Clearly, Presti has been pretty crap at drafting over these last dozen years. He seemingly thinks he's smarter than everyone else and can find gems others can't see. Plus, he trusts his malingering foreign scouts far too much. My DRAFT metric would have picked much better.

All the "Bad" players contribute under 13pts (projected per 48 mins +/-) and wouldn't even be on my metric big board at all. They were all unnecessary and unlikely gambles.

As for the 3 "Good" picks, Gidday and Chet were super obvious metric choices at those spots (much like KD 19.1, Harden 15.4 and Russ ??? were) and as for Steven Adams at pick 12, my metric favoured Rudy Gobert by 3 points and Kelly Olynk too.

REDRAFT using your DRAFT specific METRIC, I hear no-one at all say. Sure why not?

In brackets are the players picked by Presti in the past dozen years that we kept on the roster, plus Sengun who we stupidly traded to Houston.

My picks are the guys the highest on my Draft Metric board still remaining at those real draft slots(BAP)—apart from the odd center because, sadly, you can’t pick one every year. Note: A lot of mymetric options were actually drafted by Memphis, this is not a coincidence.
