    In terms the OP can understand, it's an exercise in statistical masturbation.

    The sample size and data set is small enough that one draft could radically change the results. Their limited data set shows that the 2nd, 6th, 8th and 12 picks are all relatively poor value, but that's simply due to the small sample size and hit or miss unpredictability of the draft process. It's not an exact science. Too many variables and too few data points to make any sweeping conclusions.

    Again fun with numbers (yay, the author knows how to use Excel), but no meaningful results. You don't need to be a nerd to apply a little common sense. Do you think after reading this article and studying their spreadsheets one single NBA would rather have the 9th pick instead of the 2nd pick or the 14th pick instead of the 8th pick?

    Yes, it was about your penis size. To you, it looks like a bunch of tens and elevens. To the rest of the world, it looks like a bunch of twos and threes.

    Did they broadcast this years drawing live? The actual drawing. I know they did online in years past. Just trying to get some of these conspiracy theorists to shut up.
