On the live board, bust risk sits at 6% and the realistic range is No. 112 to No. 209.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Tyrus Thompson at pick #43; he was actually picked #185 by MIN. Model expects a second-deal AAV around $9M/yr.
Overview
Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take
Draftanomics Rank
High conviction#43OT·Oklahoma
We had him No. 43 on draft night; MIN didn't call his name until No. 185 — a 142-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Tyrus Thompson at #43 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and MIN took him at No. 185, 142 picks later than our grade. Bust risk projects at 6%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade.
