Why is the 2017 pick rated the worst of our first rounders?

Are we projected to get worse after this year? Or is it just the general uncertainty that means later picks COULD be good?

I'd have thought Baynes as a possible expiring might be worth more. Guess they aren't assuming an opt out.

Writer really hates Ish Smith.

I saw that on several teams. I think if you're currently pretty good it's seen as better to wait for a future year in which you may not be. I know I'd take OKC's 2018 over their 2017.

Cool spreadsheet/site, but there's some weird stuff on there...

Tristan Thompson's contract as a top 50 asset? That's crazy.
Compiler obviously likes Clint Capela a ton to put his rookie deal in the top 50. I like him, but that's nuts.

I suppose I should be careful of appearing the homer, but this ranking really does seem disrespectful of Ish. I know, he's not a good shooter. He's managed to stick in the NBA since 2010? Guy throws a pretty good number of assists and can take the ball wherever he wants?

The Piston signing gives Ish financial security and standing as a player who has to some degree arrived. if SVG can convince him to limit his shots to only the best looks, and mostly concern himself with moving the defense around and getting his teammates better shots, this year's first FA signing might prove the headiest for 'Van Bower.' Has to be better than last year's backups in terms of PG play?

You can put it in spreadsheets but these results aren't arithmetic. In the end it's just some guys opinion, even if it's how you wrote the formula. I agree with a lot of it, and differ in others.

How is Steve Blake more valuable than Lorenzo Brown?? I agree with what people said about Ish Smith. I think he gets grouped just below Boban and Leuer in reality. Also, Reggie Jackson is probably more valuable than Stanley Johnson I would think at this point. You could probably swap their spots.

I thought teams weren't allowed to trade picks that were more than five years out, no? If so, those 2022 and 2023 picks shouldn't even be listed, as they're not assets yet.

But yeah, the whole ranking of picks seems goofy to me, too.

Yes, this.

Quirks aside I think there is some value to the rankings of our players. I just don't really understand why the picks are placed the way they are. I'm open minded though.

How is KCP, entering RFA with a booming cap a more valuable asset than RJ, Harris & Morris?

All of them are starters but 3 are locked into reasonable/good/insane deals while KCP could end up getting paid more than Harris & Mook combined!

They're trying to factor in years of team control, and since 99% of RFA don't take the QO and just re-sign, that increases value.

I do agree that KCP is going to get paid more than he's worth, but this is looked at from a market perspective. SG as a whole is a weak position, so it takes less to be valuable.

Mook, at least, should be above KCP, though. 3/15 for an average SF is better than 5/90+ for an average SG.
