We'll make the full list available eventually. I'm still trying to improve accuracy by incorporating simple "priors", plus adjusting for the state of the game, etc.
CMB was a positive in RAPM, but less so than the players we mentioned.
South Carolina scored 10 pts (per 100) more with him on, and defended 10 points better, as well.
fascinating. Well, i had Flagg top, barely, over Kon. BARELY. I actually see Kon Knueppel as potentially a better player in the NBA than Flagg. I had CMB second. And I had Sorber quite possibly next.....i liked Demin, too, but with a lot of concerns. I think his upside is pretty big. But Sorber ... watch him....that crazy 7 6" reach makes a huge impact. And i had my prime bust candidates as Bailey, Queen, and Fears....and Bailey is deserving of an asterisk or two. I also never like Harper all that much. But i get the appeal. Edgecombe ....he's an enigma but these numbers bear out some of my concerns. I feel like there are guys like Edgecrome in G league right now, honestly. If Edgecombe were two inches taller ...he would be a more likely success story. And queen.....well, gosh...honestly...you have to be blind or troy weaver to see queen as a future star. He has no athleticism. Not against top defenders. He is , i suspect, permanently out shape, and he does not exude enthusiasm for the game. UNRELATED note.....my deep sleeper in free agents is Isiah Crawford. I love Porstmouth guys....and crawford is a bull inside...huge hands...undersize...a version of CMB in fact. Sacremento has him in camp I believe.
I think the hope with Queen is that he might be able to defend in a way similar to Jokic, where he finds good timings to do "swipe blocks" near the hips, rather than meeting the shot up top.
Of course, Jokic is taller, and those might be crucial inches when it comes to rebounding, contesting shots etc.
I'm not saying I totally believe in Queen, but I think there's a chance he figures it out under the right circumstances.
It's more Fears that I worry about, given his size and current attitude
At various times during my ongoing streetball career, I have definitely felt that putting an emphasis on outscoring the opponent team (rather than individual stats) leads to team-friendlier play-style and better team defense
Great article. Can we see the full list? Where was CMB?
Thank you.

Also, who does it rate as the top defenders?
For a future article, I’d love to see where this has strong predictive power. Eg offense, defense, certain positions, in combination with other stats
Houston had one of the best defenses, so D-RAPM is a fan of Terrance Arceneaux and Jojo Tugler
In terms of drafted players it rated these players very highly:
Sorber, Flagg, Kam Jones, Danny Wolf(!?), Queen and Clifford

My son plays D-3 ball and I use CBB Analytics and have slowly introduced him to RAPM
That's awesome.
