Study Shows More Value In 2nd Round Than 1st

A study that examines the past 13 seasons shows that second round draft picks provide 70 percent of the production of first rounders at just 40 percent of the salary.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute conducted the study.
"That's a significant value and it tells me that general managers should give more value to second- and third-round picks," said Craig Wills, the head of WPI's Department of Computer Science.
