Power forwards by round: ADP vs 9cat’s total and per-game ranks

By 9cat ·

ADP rank is his place when players are ordered by average draft position across ESPN, Yahoo and Fantrax drafts; the round assumes a 12-team league. Beside it are two 9cat ranks (All categories): total, on projected totals so missed games count, and per game, which ignores them. Green is how many places earlier 9cat has him. Value and Reach mark a gap of a round or more; a Rookie (no NBA games yet) gets that tag instead. Stats are 9cat’s projected per-game numbers; green and red show where a player helps or hurts on total. Each player appears once, at his main position (the first one listed): a PF/C is with the power forwards.
