What players do you guys think need updates? We'll do Cory Joseph. He's on the list with a few other guys (like Honeycutt, Tristan Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Knight who we all posted this last week).
By my count we've written 500-1000 word scouting reports on over 100 prospects this season (which essentially runs from October to April). All the major ones (except Kanter) have been updated in the last few months. I don't think that any of the top 50 guys are out of date in any way, but please let me know if I'm mistaken.
I do make a good part of my income through scouting consulting for teams in the NBA and Europe (as well as China and Australia), but I still feel like DX is by far the most comprehensive website on the net and not by a small margin. Maybe I'm biased though. Let me know what you guys are missing and we'll do it.
Best case/worst case scenarios is something I dread doing. There really is very little benefit because you can't really get them exactly right and people take them completely out of context and then use them against you.
Hey man, your website is still hands down the best out there for the draft and NCAA's and scouting reports, no question, it's not biased to say that even if it's yours.
My only gripe is I would love to see multiple scouting updates on guys like you used to do back in the day.
A lot of times you do a scouting report on a guy like 5 to 10 games into the season who has really changed as a player but then never do a follow up in April to see how he finished out.
A lot of times it's hard to tell if it was a small sample size heater they were on and then regressed to past year's form or they really took the next step without the end of the year look back report.
Especially the case is with guys that are freshmans or sophomores, where a late season wrap up is really needed to get the total picture.
As for the best case/worst case scenarios, I fully understand what you're saying, people take them too literal and put more stock into a quick glance at them then they do your full scouting report and maybe tend to judge you and the player on them, but I for one love them, they're fun to look back on a couple years after a guy is in the league and at least give a base to compare my own thoughts on.
Hope no hard feelings on the thread title, but I knew it would be an attention getter, you obviously put a ton of work in and are still the best and most thorough out there even if it's not as constantly updated as a few years ago.
