Ultimate Draft Rank: Which schools produce the most draft talent?

[Cue Card]

According to ESPN, UofL ranks 18th in this category which is hard to follow and understand IMO.

UofL has had 94 first round draft choices from 2009 to 2018. Not bad. The teams who ranked higher yet had fewer first round draft choices are:

#3 Duke - 88 first round draft choices
#4 UofK - 93 first round draft choices
#6 Syracuse - 78 first round draft choices
#12 UConn - 78 first round draft choices
#14 Washington - 75 first round draft choices
#16 Tennessee - 66 first round draft choices
#17 Georgia - 86 first round draft choices

That's 7 programs ESPN ranked higher in spite of having fewer first round draft choices.

Bias? You betcha!

They weighted the picks to adjust for large drafts like baseball vs small drafts like basketball. As an easy example, UL had a large % from baseball while UK had a large % from basketball. The weighting is there to remove the unintentional bias of large draft sports.

Yes, I know.

Not what I said but that's pretty evident. Feel better now?
