Lottery Picks Breakdown 2002-2011 Drafts

So I am on summer vacation and I decided to do a little breakdown of the lottery picks from 2002-2011. I finished all the work during the first half of the finals game 5. So this is fresh off the press, and ready for the Bedgers to have at it. I made one calculation mistake on the players out of the NBA but I could not figure out what went wrong on the spreadsheet. So there are 140 players accounted for based on picks 1-14 from 2002-2011 draft classes.

Here is the chart breaking down the total number of starter, rotation players, deep bench(plays very little), and players no longer in the NBA. I went by pick and by year to give a variety of ways to break it down. The players that I labeled starters were based on the 2011-2012 season, and I made judgement calls on players that have been injured. For instance I considered Brooke Lopez a starter, while I considered Greg Oden out of the NBA. Players were only deemed starters if they started in 60% of the games. The two players that are not listed in the out of the NBA column at the bottom never signed a contract with their team.
