No general manager generally has managed the NBA Draft better than the Thunder's Sam Presti.

That’s the finding of a study by Bleacher Report that explored the 1,182 draft picks made by the NBA’s current GMs from 1997-2016.

Using a metric called total points added from NBAMath.com, Bleacher Report examined the careers of every draft pick since 1997 “to determine average TPA per season by pick. The No. 1 selection should produce 33.42 TPA per season, while the final pick of the draft sits at minus-13.55 TPA.”

The study factored in career longevity and compared that expected TPA per season to each draft pick’s actual score to determine how well current GMs fared at drafting.
