I wanted to put into perspective how deep this draft class is and put in perspective the type of season each top prospect had relative to an NBA player’s college season(s). So, I decided to compute cosine similarity scores between the top prospects in this draft and NBA players’ NCAA seasons.
The Reddit user computed two cosine similarity values. One was the player’s per 40 minutes stats and the other was for their advanced stats.The user separated the results by guards, wings and bigs.
For the per 4o minutes stats, the user took into account FG%, 2P%, 3P%, FT%, PTS, AST, TRB, STL, and BLKs.
