I'm sure there are a lot of people here who wouldn't mind paying. The problem is ESPN's site will probably limit their content and lack a lot of the features that made me check DX's site.

That's fair

I like the idea of clusters. I get on the site and select the player I want to see and a full body rotating image of him pops up on the screen. I can select among cluster options the ability to see who's similar size wise and measurements... Or almost similar on a sort of displacement graph. Maybe I even have the option of how wide a net I want to cast on this according to inches. Then correlated with this is a site based ranking of who's most successful among those of that size and athleticism and if you go deeper maybe a breakdown of why.

Then another cluster is skill set.. And again a ranking among them to see who's the most productive and why.

When it's done this way you take into account someone like isiah is vastly outperforming people his size and perhaps is a huge plus at his position vs maybe some random small forward who doesn't move the needle vs similar available small forwards.

I'd also like a players archive to contain a ton of his videos. Like on ballislife you get so much telling footage vs dx strength and weakness videos. Also consider the guys scouting on the site are basketball fans and love to watch basketball. We might be dying to watch certain players face off but they may have done so several times years before they stepped into the NBA

Respect to dude. I remember when he started his site like 13 years ago and it became the alternative to nbadraft.net cuz that site was saying shyt like Deshawn Stevenson's NBA Comparison was Michael Jordan. They figured out a better system than NBADraft.net, grounded harder for stories, collected more player info and most importantly, got into the combine, which set them apart. They went from a fringe fan website to THE source for NBA draft news. And now he's going to Bristol.

That's the power of the grind bruh.
