2012 NBA Draft: Is It The Worst In NBA History? Author : Robert D. Cobb In 2005 the NBA made the now infamous rule (one-and-done) that put an age limit on when an individual can declare for the draft. Arguably the two biggest impact to the game has been the lack of developing talent at the college level, which has translated to poor play at the professional level. While it became necessary for the league to make changes to the draft, commissioner David Stern failed to understand the ramifications of the move. Players are getting lured by making big money in the NBA and leave after player just one year of playing college basketball. In the past these players may have thought about entering, yet eventually returned to school. So, is it surprising that 2012 is arguably the worst draft in NBA history? No, it's not. This is what happens when a change gets made without realizing the consequences. There's only one player in the running for the Rookie of the Year Award and it's Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers. Anthony Davis is the only other player in the conversation though injuries took him out of the conversation. The Trail Blazer guard is averaging 19 points, 6.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds and shoots 43.1 percent, 37.4 percent from beyond the arc and 85.2 percent from the free throw line. Davis in 59 games averages 13.3 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assists, 1.7 blocks on 51.9 percent shooting and 65.2 percent from the free throw line. Only two other rookies average in double figures Dion Waiters and Bradley Beal the no.3 and no.4 selections in the draft. Both are inefficient from the field with one shooting under 40 percent and the other barely over that mark. For big men like Andre Drummond and Fab Melo if the two are to develop any offensive consistency it will take at least two years. While neither dominated it's understandable why the two decided to leave school as the center position as disappeared at both levels. 2008 was the last time there was a good draft when it comes to centers with Roy Hibbert and Brook Lopez being drafted. At this point there's no question that the 2012 gives 2001 a run for its money, yet there's good news for both as 2013 appears even worse. 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Local Matchups Friday LIU at Hofstra, 7:00: After LIU’s fabulous run to the NCAA Tournament last, the Blackbirds have become one of the hottest programs in the NY Metro area. With six of its top eight players back, led by junior forward Julian Boyd the Blackbirds could he a handful for Hofstra. As for the Pride, Mo Cassara’s group could be one of the most underrated in the area. Sure, Charles Jenkins and Greg Washington are gone, but Mike Moore, David Imes, Stevie Mejia, Nathaniel Lester and Shemiye McLendon are all experienced players. It should be a good one in Hempstead. Stony Brook at Indiana, 7:00: Stony Brook and its followers have waited an entire off season for this matchup. With so much talent back and several newcomers expected to create an immediate impact, no one would be shocked to see the Seawolves win this game. Senior guard Bryan Dougher, redshirt junior forward Tommy Brenton and senior Dallis Joyner have been the key elements to Stony Brook’s rise. The Seawolves have had winning seasons two of the last three years and have finished .500 or better in the America East the last three years.

NBA Court Realty Dan Cervone (New York University), Luke Bornn (Simon Fraser University), and Kirk Goldsberry (University of Texas) The Court is a Real Estate Market Throughout a basketball possession, teams fight to control valuable court space. For example, - being near the basket or in the corner 3 areas leads to high-value shots - having the ball at the top of the arc keeps many pass options open - being open and undefended anywhere on the court eases ball movement and minimizes turnovers. Using only patterns of ball movement such as passes, we are able to infer which regions of the court teams value most, and quantify the effects of controlling such regions. This leads to new spatial characterizations of team/player strategy, and value quantifications of positioning and spacing. For instance, we can compare the value of the space the ballcarrier controls with the value of the space his teammates control to better understand how different lineups manage on- and off-ball resources. Above: Map of NBA court real estate values during 2014-15 season. Just like New York City (right), property values vary Read the full paper: dramatically by neighborhood. The hoop is the Tribeca of the NBA. 30 feet away? That's more like Astoria. The Value of a Player's Court Real Estate Investment Portfolio 3. Valuing property investments based on exchanges: When players pass the ball on offense, the team exchanges property investments. The patterns of these transactions allow us to infer the value of each player's real estate investment porfolio. For instance, in the figure on the left, if a pass between players A and B is equally likely to go A → B as B → A, we'd think A's and B's investment 1.
