WHAT IS ROUGH DRAFTS?

A blog about basketball, the NBA Draft, and Analytic Approaches to the Game

Hi, I'm Cole Niles. I'm a Master's Student at Princeton with a love for Basketball.

I started Rough Drafts as an outlet to write about basketball and the NBA Draft, my favorite things in the world.

Rough Drafts is, more or less, an open notebook.

​

I'm a huge fan of the Baylor Bears, Dallas Cowboys, San Antonio Spurs.

 I would take a bullet if it meant defending the honor of Tim Duncan... Kawhi Leonard, not so much.

​

Here you'll find strategy analysis, scouting reports, and much more revolving around the game of basketball (Don't worry, not just the Spurs) and maybe even a bit of football.

​

Whether you're here to learn  or just for fun, I hope you enjoy!
