Has a secondary-initiator type with such a high turnover rate ever been drafted?
(and yeah, I know, calling him a secondary initiator may be generous)
There are honestly just so few wing players that venture in to the seriously negative category in both TO's per 100 and AST/TO rate.
Here's the list of guys who lagged well below average in both categories. There's so few, I didn't consider who might be secondary initiator types.
Jaylen Brown - 6.6 TO, 0.636 AST / TO
Justin Jackson - 6.0 TO, 0.650 AST / TO
Tyler Honeycutt - 5.2 TO, 0.698 AST / TO
Taurean Prince - 5.2 TO, 0.752 AST / TO
KZ Okpala - 5.0 TO, 0.680 AST / TO
Cam Reddish - 4.9 TO, 0.735 AST / TO
Jabari Parker - 4.6 TO, 0.735 AST / TO
KJ McDaniels - 4.6 TO, 0.735 AST / TO
Out of that list, only Parker and McDaniels graded out as average to good prospect profiles. Parker you kind of throw out with injuries.....he seems like he would have been a competent NBA player had his body held up but it's a guess. McDaniels didn't pan out but was more of a flier given his athleticism and production. Brown was equally terrible and turned in to a good player.....but he was a general disaster at Cal.
Last I had pulled McDaniels stats:
Jaden McDaniels - 5.9 TO, 0.627 AST / TO
So he was tracking to have the worst AST/TO ratio and the 3rd worst TO total among drafted wing players.
That can be fine in some instances but the problem with him is that across all statistical markers, he is no better than average in anything.....and he's below average in 10 of the 21 markers that I track and slightly below average in 10 others. That is just really, really bad for a draft eligible player, let alone someone who is being talked about as a top 10 pick. His only moderately positive statistical marker is his rebound rate. Pretty bleak.
