Valuing The Draft (Part Two)

In my last article, I took a look at the draft pick value a type-A free agent gives. In this article, I'm going to follow a similar framework and take a look at the college versus high school split in the draft. I did not look at any junior college players due to the lack of a good sample size. In Rany Jazayerli's previous draft study, he found that from 1992 to 1999, college players hold a slight edge over high school players. However, the advantage saw a big drop from 1984 to 1991.
