Star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum clocks in as top player in 2007 NBA draft class per HoopsHype’s Global Rating


NBA analyst of our sister site HoopsHype Alberto De Roa put together a new metric he dubbed “Global Rating” that, as he puts it “combines players’ and teams’ statistics to rank players according to their productivity on the court” which also factors in the number of contests a given player has been unavailable for in a specific season (for a more detailed breakdown, check this out).

For the 2022-23 NBA season so far, De Roa has not only used Global Rating to analyze the NBA’s players against one another but also how each draft class remaining in the league stacks up against their peers.

The highest-rated (and most recently-drafted) Boston Celtics player to make De Roa’s draft class assessment is Duke alumnus Jayson Tatum, with the star Celtics forward clocking in as the top overall player from his 2017 NBA draft class.

Ahead of players like (in order) Lauri Markannen, Donovan Mitchell, OG Anunoby, Jarret Allen, and De’Aaron Fox, Tatum is in a league of his own as Global rating pegs the St. Louis native as the fourth-best player in the NBA so far this season.
