In addition to individual stats we also took data of some stats that is more applicable to each position in basketball. For instance it is not really useful to test centers for 3 point percentage as they rarely shoot threes and are mostly in the paint and protecting the glass. As a result of this we split up the positions into three. For point guards we measured FT %, assists, turnovers. For shooting guards and small forwards we analyzed 3 point%. Finally for power forwards and centers we measured rebounds,and blocks. We made separate graphs for each data set to identify any possible outliers. A basic linear regression was also incorporated in addition to the regular scatter plot graph.

Basic scatter plot for assists per game, as one can see there aren’t many point guards in this draft.

There are a total of seven total point guards. Out of the seven point guards Andrew Nembhard has the highest assist rate per game standing at nearly 6 assists per game. This indicates that Nembhard is a pass first point guard. On the other side of things Hugo Besson has the lowest assist per game ratio.

The average assist per game according to this graph is around 4.

Basic scatterplot showing the turnover rate for this draft class.

Turnovers occur when a player loses possession of the ball to a player from the other team. A good turnover rate is a very low one since you would want to have the ball in your team's hands for the most of the game. Point guards are heavily judged on their turnover rate in the NBA. As the graph indicates the player with the most turnovers is Kennedy Chandler with a near rate of 2.5. The best/lowest turnover rate per game belongs to TyTy Washington with near to 1.6. This means he rarely turns the ball over per game.

The average turnover rate amongst point guards this year was about 2.15.

Another stat that most point guards get heavily judged on is the ability to make free throws. When your team is in a tight situation at the end of the game every point counts which means a high percentage free throw shooter can be incredibly beneficial to your team especially in clutch situations.

The player with the highest free throw percentage is Andrew Nembhard(.873) and the lowest is kennedy chandler as he shoots only 61% from the free throw line.

Same graph with linear regression

For shooting guards and small forwards we used 3 point percentages to analyze since 3 pointers are mostly shot by these two positions.

The data looks pretty spread out as the lowest % was from MarJon Beauchamp as he shot around 24% from deep. The highest was AJ Griffin as he shot the ball with a 45% success rate.

Same graph but with a linear regression line

Small forwards were also analyzed for how many 3 pointers they make.

Among small forwards the player with the highest 3 point percentage was AJ Griffin

The average 3 point% is seen to be around 35%

As you can see there are a total of 10 power forwards in this year's draft class. This graph showcases the average rebounds per game for each power forward. Jaylin Williams out of Arkansas seems to average the most rebounds, being just a tad short of 10 rebounds per game.

There’s actually an interesting trend here as the number of rebounds for power forwards are slightly higher as you go down in draft order.

We did the same thing for centers and as you can see Chet Holmgren dominates the other centers as he averages around 10 rebounds per game. On the other end Yannick Nzosa averages the least with less than 2 rebounds per game.

As expected the regression line decreases as the draft position decreases

Another stat we measured for each power forward and center was blocks per game. This particular graph specifically shows the center’s blocks per game. Walker Kessler seems to average the most blocks compared to every other center.

For power forwards one player that dominates compared to the rest is EJ Lindel with 2.5 blocks per game.
