Three numbers to keep separate
The current NBA collection uses listed player height in centimetres, NBA draft year and overall draft position for 16 selected players. The target and unit tell you which of those numbers the question is asking about.
Overall draft position counts the player’s place in the entire draft. It is not the pick number within a round. A draft-year question asks for a year, while a draft-pick question asks for an overall position.
Use anchors, then compare distance
The current bank lists Michael Jordan at 198 cm, drafted in 1984 at No. 3, and Kobe Bryant at 198 cm, drafted in 1996 at No. 13. These are useful anchors for distinguishing height, year and draft position; they are separate facts, not interchangeable answers.
For a target year of 1994, a 1996 draft is two years away and a 1984 draft is ten years away. That comparison alone does not prove who wins: another name in the question’s pool may be closer. Look through the offered list before submitting.
Height questions use centimetres
Look at the displayed unit before typing. The current NBA bank uses listed centimetres, so enter the number in cm rather than feet and inches. The accepted range is printed under each number field.
When two players share the same listed height, they can tie on a height target. Tied closest answers are treated equally. Numeric estimates and closest-pick questions can ask about the same metric in different ways.
Check the question’s collection
The expanded collection is used for Unlimited and newer Daily sets. Earlier Daily sets and saved runs can use the original starter collection, with different pools and rules. Check the scope line in the round and the version in your records.
After a round, open View source & notes for the relevant source. The Sources page lists the recorded values and source details for both collections.
