Eleven straight answers on how college basketball players are ranked, scouted and kept.
College basketball is its own sport here: its own boards, its own lab and its own leagues.
The Stash (3)
What is the Stash?
The Stash ranks college players for the NBA draft, by how past college players with profiles like theirs fared in the NBA.
Beside every rank sit his twins: the past college players whose profiles look most like his, and how their NBA careers went. The rank is the summary; the twins are the evidence.
Does the Stash show values?
The board says on its face whether its values are shown, and when they are held back it says why.
How much of the Stash is free?
Free shows the top 75 players and counts the rest; Pro opens the board down to No. 300, and Ultra opens the board down to No. 500.
Every filter works inside your tier, so a filter never reaches past it, and the players past your tier are counted, never named.
Rankings (3)
How are college basketball players ranked?
Two ways: the NBA devy board ranks college players for the NBA draft, and the campus board ranks them for college fantasy.
- Ranked by how past college players with profiles like his fared in the NBA
- Built for college slots in NBA dynasty leagues
- Ranked by our model: the fantasy points it expects from him over every college season he has left
- Each later season counts at 85% of the one before
Why does a player show a dash instead of a value?
A value prints only when it can be defended. Under 120 minutes this season, out of his team's last 10 games, a freshman before his first college game, or a player whose eligibility we cannot read all show a dash and say which of those is the reason. A dash is never a zero.
How fresh are the boards?
Each board prints the time its numbers were published, so you always know how old a rank is.
A board changes only when a newer build is published in full. It is never edited row by row, so every player on one board is ranked by the same build.
The Court Lab (3)
What is the Court Lab?
19 of the Court Lab's 27 tools are open: Rates, Tape, Shot Diet → NBA, Shot Type, Lineups / On-Off, Explorer, Class Curve Atlas, Portal ROI, Portal Fit, Vacated Minutes, Team Environment, Declare Watch, Prospect Screener, Twin Comps, Scouting Report, Age-Curve Lab, Shot Atlas, Big Games and Pedigree.
Each tool answers one scouting question, grouped by what you bring: a player, a class or the transfer portal, or a team and its season.
The other eight sit in the Lab's rail with the reason they are not open yet, so a tool that is not open is never a dead link.
How far back does the college data go?
Six windows, each starting where the data does:
- Season ratings start in 2007-08
- RAPM starts in 2009-10
- Shot splits start in 2014-15
- Shot locations start in 2018-19
- Transition splits start in 2019-20
- Possession data starts in 2023-24
Where are the college stats defined?
All 35 advanced college stats are defined in plain words in the college basketball glossary, each with why it matters for fantasy and the sample it needs before it prints.
Below that sample a stat prints a dash with the reason, never a number built on a handful of minutes.
My Leagues (2)
Can I connect my college basketball league?
Yes. Connect it from My Leagues and we bring in its rosters, scoring and standings, then keep them in sync through the season.
Once you pick your team in the league, its record and place show on your league's page.
How often do college leagues refresh?
A connected league refreshes every morning from November through April, and one that has not refreshed in 30 hours says so on its own row, with a button to refresh it now.
From May through October there is no college fantasy scoring, so rosters refresh once a month, on the first, to catch keeper moves and a commissioner's changes.
