SportiveWorld Big Board: our own ranking, provisional and dynamic — recomputed daily from the box score; without an NCAA model the market prior orders, with the evidence state and the confidence in view. Projection = grouping by SW Big Board rank: 1–5 · 6–10 · 11–14 (lottery) · 15–30 · 31–60 · 61+. Not a mock of picks. The SW ranks in this list are the daily snapshot of 2026-10-12; the live board may differ and says so.

Biggest gap with the market

Not the board's no. 1: the prospect where our evaluation and the outside publications differ the most.

Draft Intelligence

Every rank on the board, explained: which signals hold it up, how much his environment weighs, what the comparables say and what would change our mind. And, as a reference, where we differ from the market.

How we build the board

The SportiveWorld rank is computed on the official box score of the measured season (production, efficiency, playmaking, defence, minutes) and on the environment (opponent quality, team strength), with a model calibrated on 26,550 NCAA seasons with a known outcome. Nothing is hand-written opinion: every rank is explained signal by signal on its page.

How the Big Board is ordered

Position = w · model position + (1 − w) · market position. w = 2/3 with high model confidence, 1/2 medium, 1/3 low and 0 without a model. The model position is his rank among the measured brought to the class scale; the market position, the average of the cited mocks.

Without evidence of our own, the market prior orders, with the evidence state and the confidence in plain view. Nobody leaves the board for lack of sample: lack of sample lowers the confidence. The NCAA model does not change; it is a signal within the board, not the board.

Projection = grouping by SW Big Board rank: 1–5 · 6–10 · 11–14 (lottery) · 15–30 · 31–60 · 61+. Not a mock of picks.

As an outside reference we cite the rank each publication gives (Tankathon · nbadraftroom) without reproducing its analysis. As soon as they publish their 2027 boards we add: ESPN, The Ringer, Yahoo, NBADraft.net, The Athletic.
