Every year, the NBA draft is a great opportunity to look at the future of the league. Players get selected from No. 1 to No. 60 with one big question in mind: which ones will end up having the bigger impact on the court?
According to Global Rating, these are the best players this season from each NBA draft class – including those who were eligible that year but ended up undrafted.

Global Rating: The best players from each draft class
Through two games, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ranked as one of best players of 2024 Olympics.
Last summer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander broke out on the international scene. The 26-year-old led Canada to its best finish in program history with a bronze medal in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
Over the last two seasons, Gilgeous-Alexander has ascended into one of the best players in the league. He’s had back-to-back top-five MVP finishes, including runner-up last season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have graduated to a title contender and Gilgeous-Alexander is the largest reason for that. It shouldn’t be a shocker to see him be one of the best players in the infancy stages of the 2024 Olympics.
Canada is 2-0 in group play with wins over Greece and Australia. Barring a disaster, it will advance to the knockout stage of the international tournament.
Through two games, Gilgeous-Alexander is measured as the second-best player of the 2024 Olympics with a 33.13 Global Rating, per HoopsHype. He’s ranked behind Canadian teammate RJ Barrett.
Fellow Thunder teammate Lu Dort is ranked the No. 22 player with a 16.18 Global Rating.

Global Rating is a tell-all stat that measures how impactful a player is with a rating. A full explanation of the formula can be read here.
The eye test also aligns with it. Gilgeous-Alexander is the best player on arguably the second-best squad of the 2024 Olympics. Canada has a shot at making serious noise.

To make the decision easier, we simplified who actually deserves to make it according to Global Rating, an advanced metric that evaluates the performance of every player during the season.
The All-Star rosters will be updated daily considering the NBA rules regarding positions. The starting lineups will feature two guards and three frontcourt players (including center), while the reserves will have two guards, three frontcourt players and two extra players regardless of their position on the court.

Global Rating is the main metric HoopsHype uses to track the performance of basketball players all around the world. Created by our own Alberto De Roa, it combines players’ and teams’ statistics to rank players according to their productivity on the court. The amount of games a player has missed in a certain season or competition is also factored in. A more extensive explanation can be found here.
Below, you can check the Global Rating ranking for each group of age.

HoopsHype’s Global Rating sees this Florida alum in a positive light even beyond his draft class peers.
NBA analyst of our sister site HoopsHype Alberto De Roa put together a new metric he dubbed “Global Rating” that, as he puts it “combines players’ and teams’ statistics to rank players according to their productivity on the court” which also factors in the number of contests a given player has been unavailable for in a specific 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 analyze the NBA’s players against one another but also how each draft class remaining in the league stacks up against their peers.
And in the 2007 NBA draft class (of which only five players remain in the league), a current Boston Celtics big man finds himself fourth of the five listed.

That would be veteran forward Al Horford, who checks in as the 179th-best player of the 2022-23 season so far, trailing Kevin Durant (fourth), Mike Conley (27th), and Jeff Green (154th), while being ahead of Thaddeus Young (294th).

One player on Boston’s roster even cracks the top five of the league.
The Boston Celtics as a team have been assessed regarding their play to start the 2022-23 NBA season with the Global Rating metric created by HoopsHype’s Alberto De Roa as part of a H/H assessment of all the players in the league with said metric.
Designed to “combines players’ and teams’ statistics to rank players according to their productivity on the court,” the metric is not without its shortcomings (particularly so early in a season given several Celtics have yet to see much or any playing time), but also gives a solid overview of players in the league.
One player on Boston’s roster even cracks the top five of the league. Let’s take a look at where each Celtic fell in contrast to the rest of their teammates and the league.
