NBA Draft × High-School Pathways 2016–2026
Analysis-ready panel of 653 actual NBA draft selections from 2016 through 2026, with each player's drafting franchise, canonical college or prior organization, finishing high-school/prep pathway, school-type classification, and source lineage.
Version 1.0.0 is a schema-breaking quality release. It replaces the original
mixed and sparse college_or_prior field with structured pathway fields and removes
three blank rows that represented forfeited draft slots rather than selected players.
Highlights
- 653 valid selections; unique
(draft_year, pick)key. - No missing player names, drafting teams, or prior organizations.
- Canonical NCAA institution names: for example,
CaliforniabecomesUniversity of California, BerkeleyandProvidencebecomesProvidence College. - Explicit prior-pathway types: 529 NCAA, 103 international club, 14 G League, 5 direct high-school/prep, and 2 alternative academy.
- 108 blank finishing-school values are explicitly marked
no_us_high_school_pathway; these are structurally not applicable, not unresolved nulls. - Sparse ACS town-income data is separated into an optional 23-row enrichment table.
- 339 field-level repairs are documented in
analysis/change_log.csv.

Core schema
The primary table distinguishes:
prior_org_name: full canonical institution, club, league, school, or academy name.prior_org_short: common basketball label.prior_org_type:ncaa,international_club,g_league,high_school_or_prep, oralternative_academy.high_school_finish: finishing U.S. secondary/prep program when applicable.high_school_missing_reason: explains structural blanks.quality_flags: reserved for unresolved row-level issues; empty for all v1.0.0 rows.
See codebook_clean.md for all 24 fields.
Sources and repair policy
The original high-school curation is preserved from this repository. Draft pick, player, drafting-team, and prior-organization values were cross-checked against draft-year reference tables. Official NBA result pages were used to confirm that 2024 had 58 selections, 2025 had 59, and 2026 had 60.
Repairs are conservative: pathway placeholders such as International (Spain) are
not treated as school names, and unsupported personal/family income is never imputed.
Every researched change is traceable through the change log and source columns.
Limitations
school_typedescribes the finishing school/pathway, not every school attended.- Town income is an ecological place-level proxy and must not be interpreted as a player's family income.
- The panel contains drafted players only; it cannot estimate a student's probability of being drafted without an appropriate denominator population.
