@bbstats.bsky.social how much involvement did you have in the WNBA and NCAA versions of DRIP and DRIP-derived stats at Opta? Any thoughts on their utility?

Hell yeah, I'll check in again soon for the drop!

Hope to see it, thanks for tagging if you do get the time!

Is this analysis included in the guide you released, or would this be something separate?

@berg-hoops.bsky.social any plans for a 2025 draft model?

NBA Big Board 2025

Updated my 2025 NBA Draft Big Board: now a full Top 100.

It blends film-based scouting with a machine learning model projecting 5-year EPM. 45+ full reports linked, with tiers, roles, swing skills, and outcome comps.

Check it out: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
Feedback welcome.

It would be great to see additional columns with stats only rank and the EPM projection outcomes. If possible to include a backtested database with projections and/or historical ranking that would huge for contextualizing model accuracy and tendencies.

Love the projected role blurbs!

Awesome to hear! I will keep an eye out.

Any plans for a 2025 model pre-draft?

1. New York (32.6 expected wins) 2. Las Vegas (30.7) 3. Minnesota (29.7) 4. Atlanta (27.5) 5. Indiana (26.5) 6. Seattle (22.4) 7. Dallas (21.6) 8. Phoenix (19.2) 9. Chicago (19.2) 10. Los Angeles (16.8) 11. Washington (14.5) 12. Golden State (14.0) 13. Connecticut (11.4)

Was offline earlier today, but here were my final projections for WNBA teams this season based on opening night rosters and past NCAA/WNBA performance. Note that my lack of European translations means international rookies aren't included, which is an issue for the Mercury in particular.

@nbacouchside.bsky.social Any recent data available for SPI?

Thoughts on offering Poole for Don? 8cat and I'm punting FG%

Downgrade Isaac below weekly stream status on the back of his 7min? Or merely foul trouble?
