SportiveWorld evaluation
Main reading
Rotation role in EuroCup 2025; production in the 94th percentile for his age. League not calibrated: market prior #30.
Why he is here
factNo NCAA model yet · Scout profile in a professional league with a publishable sample (≥ 10 games · ≥ 250 min): evidence of our own, no calibrated model.
What is missing to evaluate him
- ◆Model not yet calibrated for this league: we have his accredited box scores (U18 national teams · EuroCup), but the ranking is calibrated on the NCAA only. His data is shown; no rank from another league is invented
- ◆His league has no equivalence in the model (calibrated on the NCAA): his box scores are shown, not scored
What would bring it to life
- →His box scores in his league: shown with their sample, even if not scored
- →The model's international calibration (proposal DRAFT INTERNATIONAL CALIBRATION V1): once it exists, his already accredited box scores get scored
- →Combine measurements (wingspan, reach, athleticism): we do not have them today
- →The mocks: captured daily; today the consensus is 1 source(s)
Potential
Categorical reading of the ceiling the accredited evidence supports. Not a score: it starts from the NCAA model (if any) or from the market prior and only moves one level with our own evidence, declared piece by piece.
factStarts from the market prior (#30): not enough evidence of our own to start anywhere else. → Medium
- ◎Production for his age in the 94th percentile of his cohort (U18 national teams 2026, age 17): ceiling signal. Up one level.
- ◎258 accredited minutes with professionals at age 16 (EuroCup, 2025): a club already gives him minutes. Up one level.
Evidence moves the reading one level at most, in the direction the sum of the evidence pushes. · Confidence: Scout profile in a professional league with a publishable sample (≥ 10 games · ≥ 250 min): evidence of our own, no calibrated model.

Production
Box scores outside the NCAA
Shown as they are, unscored: the model has no equivalence for these leagues. 'Insufficient sample' is flagged by the Scout index itself.
Combine
Combine
No Combine measurements: he does not appear in the 2024-2026 combines (or does not match uniquely by name). The physique above is what his programme lists, not a measurement.
Market vs SportiveWorld

Declared limits
- · No adjustment for age or class (the historical census lacks them): bias in favour of the productive veteran.
- · Physical measurements and the combine are not in the model: they are shown as context.
- · Calibrated on the NCAA only: ACB, EuroLeague and FIBA are not scored.
- · The mocks' history starts on 2026-09-13: before that date there is none (the ingester overwrote them daily).
