Paints a pretty stark picture.

Between the 2003 and 2015 NBA Draft, a total of 780 players have been selected. However, before starting we had to throw out all of those drafted during that timespan from a year in which there was no Rivals150 (i.e. a player who graduated high school in 2000 that gets drafted in 2003) and eliminate the international players.
Here’s what we found from the 467 players meeting those parameters:
374: Ranked in the final Rivals150 for their high school class (or 80.1 percent).
201: Finished high school as five-star prospects.
127: Finished as four-star prospects.
46: Finished as three-star prospects inside the Rivals150.
54: Ranked as three-star prospects outside of the Rivals150.
8: Ranked as two-star prospects.
31: Unrated as high school players.
