not as much movement for either player here. As I noted earlier, draftexpress was much more accurate than nbadraft.net in their mock based on combine invites, but teh two will likely be closer in accuracy post combine when you find out who the league thinks is going.
I'm not sure you can base accuracy on the Combine list. The biggest problem with the combine list is that they don't include any foreign players, while both Draft Express and NBA DraftNet do.
We'll know on draft day which one is most accurate, but if we wind up with six or seven international players--as has been the case in most years--the comiine list will quickly slip to least accurate.
In terms of which is more accurate vis-a-vis the real draft, a while back I did a comparision of the 2012 Draft compared to NBADraftnet and DraftExpress. If I recall, NBADraftnet was very slightly more accurate overall based on predicted versus actual average draft position. NBA Draftnet was also more accurate at picking who was in the first round. DraftExpress was slightly better at picking the 2nd round--most of that becaus they wre better at the last 15 positions.
Last year, both had the top 40 players or so correct--and both made most of their mistakes among the last 15 or 20 picks.
Not sure if past history is indiciative of future results. But we'll see on June 28 whether the combine, Draft.Net or DraftExpress is truly the most accurate.
vis-a-vis ... you don't see that used on fan boards very often. Nice. Very sophisticated!
