Tier I	225.0.+	Has enough strengths to be a 1st team ALL NBA or Defensive Team
Tier II	200.0 - 249.9	Could be 1st - 2nd best player on the team
Tier III	175.0 - 199.9	Could be 2nd - 3rd best player on the team
Tier IV	150.0 - 174.9	These players usually emphasize a strength and become a big part of a team 3rd - 4th best player on team 3rd-4th
Tier V	125.0 - 149.9	Starter capabilities 4th -5th man
Tier VI	100.0 - 124.9	These players are more than likely a 5th - 6th man / usually a lack of separation or strength keeps these players from succeeding early. / Players drafted from this spot normally get a better chance to prove themselves if drafted to a losing team.

Tier VII	65.0 - 99.9	NBA Player 6th - 7th man / more than likely something obvious keeps these players from rating higher
Tier VIII	49.0 - 65.0	Prolonged time trying to make a mark in the NBA 8th - 12th man / Specialty players are big here aka rebounders, defenders - scorers. / These players normally play one side of the court well enough to make a roster spot
Tier IX	49.9 - Below	Prolonged time also just trying to stick on a NBA team as something more than a journeyman. Players that were fully evaluated will be career overseas or D-League playerst Finally if a player turns out ok maybe we did not have sufficient data.

Positions	LEGEND
Iso - Center	These players are isolation defensive and offensive players that have the complete game ready for the NBA.
International C / PF	These players games are more shaped for the international style of play. These players stretch the floor as C / PF and many times these players have really good range and court vision. These players are normally not defensive standouts but some can play a decent amount of defense.
Center - Defense	This player is lacking the offensive go to moves but will definitely have an impact on the defensive end
Center - High	This Center plays best at the free throw or higher. One negative is they are sometimes softer in the paint.
Center - Low	This player will be a liability outside of the block, however he can be very effective around the basket
C / PF - Def	These players can actually play the defensive side of the ball better than the offensive side. These players are normally lacking go-to-moves, range, and court vision. On the positive side its possible some of these players will develop into nice NBA role players after 3 years.
Center - Defense	These players are lacking enough offense in their game due to a lack of a go-to move, able to face the basket and shoot outside 10ft., and finally consistency when they handle the ball.
Iso - PF	These players can play isolation on offensive and defensive and ends. While some may have big advantages on one end of the court compared to the other all meet minimumal historical values to play at the next level.
Iso - PF - O	These players are strictly isolation offensive players, and historically these players will have a tough time at the next level stopping other isolation players in the paint. Players with a long reach can at least begin their NBA careers with their arms raised as a defensive tool. Most of these players are simply missing the basic footwork, athleticism, length, or even defensive fundamentals for the next level. Offensively some of these players can go in and score big at the next level.
PF	These players usually play the traditional power forward position but may lack either a go to move, play mainly with back to the basket, or defensively have proven they can play the block vs. isolation players.
PF / Block	These players have the ability to play in the paint and block but are missing at least 2 major development critieria to contribute at the next level. These players may be lacking in upper body strength, ball handling, foul trouble, back to basket only, or missing go to move in the paint. These players could take 3-4 years to contribute on a play-off team.
SF - Iso	These players have the complete game on both sides of the ball and are above the basics to be ready for the NBA
SF - Iso - O	These players have the offensive games that are ready for the NBA, but are missing some element which exposes them on the defensive end.
SF - Def	These players are athletic and have proven to be ready to get minutes at the NBA level for how they play defense. Some of these players may be decent at offense but none of them qualified for the appropriate offensive categories or isolation categories.
SF or SF>2Neg	These players did not qualify for any of the above isolation, offensive, defensive categories. There are players here that can play at the next level but more than likely none of these players will lead their teams offensively or defensively. They can however contribute good minutes. These players are probably career role players or they are simply not fully developed into the players they could be most due to age at the time of the draft declaration.
Defensive Wing - SF	These players normally play a multitude of positions on the court, there are some factors that show that these players are mostly inclined to play the SF position either due to size, speed, or placement on court.
Defensive Wing - SG	These players normally play a multitude of positions on the court, there are some factors that show that these players are mostly inclined to play the SF position either due to size, speed, or placement on court.
SG - Iso	If a player qualifies for this position he can literally be a hi-light reel waiting to happen. This player can usually explode for points on one end and play competent defense on the opposite side of the court. This is one of the hardest rankings to obtain in the scouting evaluation.
SG - Iso - O	These players are offensively explosive but do not have the defensive makeup at this point to be consider ready to guard isolation players at the next level. These players will rely on their athleticism to make up for any defensive problems they have.
SG - Pass or SG > neg	These players have good court awareness but they are lacking something that will keep them as a backup player their entire career unless they land on a non-playoff team and are allowed time to play and grow. For the most part these players will play about 18-24minutes max.
SG - Role	These players have not shown enough areas of consistency to be anything more than a role player at the next level. It is possible that some players are on a very deep team or they are still very young and their evaluation is not complete. Otherwise it will be tough for any of these players to get more than 18 minutes in a game if they are on a playoff team.
CG - PtFwd	These players have demonstrated some ability to run a teams offense but not at the NBA level as a starting point guard. Some of the players here will really be relied upon due to their versatility.
Guard - Def	These players have a shown a keen sense to play primary defense against other point and shooting guards. Some of these players could run the offense as a point guard under certain circumstances.
PG - Paint	These point guards are really good playmakers but they are limited by their range. This could cause opposing defenders to be able to sag back on defense. Most of these players get their points from fast breaks and attacking the rim.
PG - Range	These point guards are normally missing something that keeps them from being recognized as a true point guard that encompasses all the traits needed as a true point. These point guards also are able to run the break and attack the rim.
True Point Guard	This is the ultimate general on the court. This player will set the offense, run the break, be counted on for isolation situations, his range, and crucial late game free throws. This player also is a decent defender and should hold his own at the next level.
Intangibles	Intangibles are statistical combination of every area that was either +/- range to each category. Some categories players had to many or too few points and were added or subtracted. The amounts left over were listed as intangibles.
(Reb)	These players are literally guaranteed to have a big impact on the rebounding category even when sometimes they do not rate high overall as a total player
