Hard to say that when half of the top 10 picks in 2014 either missed significant time or the season. Who knows if Embiid, Parker, or Randle could have went on a tear in the same light as Andrew Wiggins. Let's see in a year or two.

While I won't call that class weak, I think it was slightly oversold. Which is why, IMHO, I've been more impressed with the top 5-6 prospects in 2015 as a whole on a game to game basis than the top 5-6 prospects in 2014.

Never really liked Randle and Embiid has ballooned up to 300 apparently. It just seems like this life altering draft that everyone was tanking for has maybe 3 guys worth setting your DVR for and one of them hasn't played in a few months.

I love how people just parrot crap that is not, and never was true.
