The point we were discussing was a 4th round pick beating out veterans like Carman to win the starting job.

Out of this 22%, the average PFF grade is 56.6. If we raise our criteria of being a starter to starting eight games or more, only 6% of guards selected from the 4th round or later qualify. The average PFF grade is 56.78.
