NBA Draft 2024: The (vegan) wings, according to YODA

I think YODA is a hater.

For those who haven’t been reading lately, YODA is short for Ye Old Draft Analyzer — a stat-based NBA draft prospect evaluation tool I’ve been tinkering with for a while now.

I’ve used YODA to write about centers and forwards. Today it’s the wings. And once again, YODA isn’t a fan of basically anyone in this year’s draft. Hater.

To my way of thinking, wings are generally mid-sized players (think 6-5ish to about 6-9ish) who could plausibly play traditional SF or SG (what the great Ken Beatrice would have called “quick side forward”) but not PG, and maybe not PF because PFs are generally a little bigger and stronger.
