He doesn’t have a list, but I pay for his subscription service so I can go back and look at any specific players you would be curious about?
Just checking in on some star level players that went later in the draft. Here is the percentages he had for them becoming stars during their draft year:
Point - 48%
Kucherov - 70%
Gaudreau - 21%
Caufield - 60%
His model isn’t perfect. It basically just draws on historical data and outcomes then compares that to what the player produced at the same age. It does show that certain types of players continue to get overlooked though.
