Wages of Wins has done another article reviewing the draft,

In it, he produced this table, http://www.wagesofwins.com/WinScore2008Draft.html

Showing Hill as the 3ed best prospect in the draft by position adjusted win score...
I note that he makes no comment on the Summer League performances.

I guess Hill can become another Rajon Rondo. That would be pretty good for the SPurs

The problem with the WageofWins score is that all teams are "equal". So it means if you play in UCLA or IUPU, it doesn't matter, you get the same score. But of course different divisions and conferences are much harder than others. So just because Team A loses 10 games in a tough conference 1, Team A might win 10 games in an easy conference 2.

Without relation to difficulty of the competition, these numbers are hard to substantiate. It's like saying the #2 Toros from the D-League are equal to the #2 Lakers from the NBA.

You can prove almost anything with statistics. Allanon makes a good point when comparing conferences. How many games does anyone think IUPU wins in the Big 12 or Pac 10? I'm willing to bet they don't have near the wins if they palyed in either conference. Totally subjective article.
