NBA analyst Alberto De Roa of HoopsHype, our sister site, put together a new metric he dubbed global rating.
“(The metric) combines players’ and teams’ statistics to rank players according to their productivity on the court.”
It also factors in the number of contests a given player has been unavailable for in a 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 compare NBA players, but also how each draft class remaining in the league stacks up against its peers.
The highest-rated and most recently drafted Boston Celtics player to make De Roa’s draft class assessment is former Duke standout Jayson Tatum. The star Celtics forward clockes in as the top overall player from his 2017 NBA draft class.
If you think about it, it’s actually pretty obvious. https://t.co/yLobH8i3it

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