Coach 1000K Rules Analytics Era, but MU One of the Top Producers

Well finally getting up for my second game of the year put me in the basketball writing spirit despite the heartbreak.

I have two pieces running at www.breitbart.com tomorrow – one on how high www.valueaddbasketball.com had Hassan Whiteside rated (9th best freshman in 2010) five years before his 12 blocked shot for you analytics critics. Second and more relevant is the breakdown of which schools produce the most talent from the 13-year of Value Add rankings. While Coach K’s Duke teams have dominated, Wisconsin and Marquette are the only other two schools in the country with even four top 10 players (Wade, Diener, Butler and Crowder) and our 18 top 100 players puts us in the top 20.

Here is the breakdown of the only 20 schools with at least 10 top 100 players and more than one top 10 player, when you go to the full 13-year database at http://valueaddbasketball.com/ballall.html
