Draft Endpoints

Draft room endpoints for board order, history, and combine testing

Draft Endpoints

Seven endpoints build the draft room packet.

Primary route: Use season for class-specific board or combine work; use DraftHistory when the question spans eras.

Pair these feeds with Player Stats once prospects reach the league and Team Stats for franchise context.

Route cues

  • Use DraftBoard for one class and DraftHistory for multi-era research.
  • Treat the combine endpoints as a packet: broad overview first, then the drill or shooting page that matches the scouting question.
  • Jump out to player or team pages once the question shifts from prospect inputs to NBA outcomes.
