Draftexpress vs NBAdraft? Which has been more accurate in evaluating talent in the drafts?

I usually check NBAdraft first, their mock drafts are more accurate, imo.

DraftExpress, on the other hand, does have a more detailed write-ups, interviews etc. And I love Mike Schmitz`s scouting videos.

NBADraft seems much better though I have not really fact checked over the years.
Draftexpress had Parker at 7 for a long time in the 2014 mock draft. ESPN is actually really solid.....if you pony up to be an insider

Draftexpress is better when the Draft gets closer. Beforehand, they don't really focus on the mock drafts that much. Also, Draftexpress's analysis are far superior to NBADraft.net's.

nbadraft is luckier with their mocks. their analysis isn't good by comparison. seems like it could be written by anyone. their comparisons in particular are pretty poor.
draftexpress tends to single out players they don't like and keep them low in their mocks, until the actual draft approaches then they start moving those players in the same range as everyone else. in the end, i don't really care for either site's mocks.
their analysis is better though. good mix of scouting and stats.

Draftexpress' early mocks are just their player rankings.

For the mocks its NBADraft.net. They seem to go more by what v they're hearing rather than their own opinions.

Scouting and analysis you go with draftexpress. The problem with draftexpress is the guy who runs it scouts more foreign players than US players so he kinda only does one write-up per US player while he scouts European players 10+ times. He also bases his mocks more on his own opinion rather than what he's hearing from scouts.

As far as analysis goes, like mannyram said, nbadraft.net could be written by anyone, it can't even dream of being in the same league as draftexpress. As far as I'm concerned, DX is the only game in town when it comes to extensive analysis of draft prospects. As far as mocks go, I don't care about it, so I don't hold the quality of their mocks against either of them.
