OK season 21 draft stats
First off in summary - what a shite draft.
Number of players in the draft with that potential.
announcer 1
benchwarmer 14
role player 6
6th man 9
starter 3
star 7
allstar 4
perennial allstar 1
MVP 3
That equats to 3 players with 5 ball potential, 5 with 4 ball potential, 10 with 3 ball, 15 with 2 ball and 15 with 1 ball. Either way, 30 players were useless as trainees. But seriously, 14 benchwarmers? unbelievable.
I graphed salaries, and in general, as the pick number goes up, the salary goes down, which suggests that some people were actually picking according to star rating. Peak salary was $4783 BUT the next highest salary was nearly $1300 less than the top..... 25 draftee's had a salary UNDER $2000. whilst another 15 had a salary between $2k and $3k which means 40 players in the draft had a salary under $3k, which is just staggering.
In ther first round, 11 teams got their first pick, 4 teams got their second pick whilst Tannum tantrums got their 3rd pick. Proving again, that all you need to do, is find 3-4 players worth drafting, and you will get him. Even in the second round, the lowest preference was 7th.
Who did well out of the draft? without taking into account spending, then Vios, myself, Coalcliff, Hopelessly addicted, Geelong and Corio all managed to get something that should at least fetch them some dough on the market. Coalcliff getting the steal of the draft, with a 19 year old MVP 6'1 SF with a $4700 salary, at pick 21...Good job, although the fact u drafted a 19 year old $3k 6th man in the first round, suggests that u jagged this :)
