See most of u guys are going off how the players from the 2013 draft played this past season. it should be the hype that they had coming into the draft. Guys like Oladipo, Otto Porter, and Noel should be alto higher.

If I had no idea how bad some of the players from the 2013 draft would play and were just basing it off the hype and draft
projection they had coming out.

1) Joel Embiid
2) Andrew Wiggins
3) Jabari Parker
4) Nerlens Noel
5) Julius Randle
6)Marcus Smart
7) Victor Oladipo
8) Dante Exum
9) Otto Porter
10) Noah Vonleh
11) Anthony Bennet
12) Aaron Gordon
13) Ben Mclemore
14) Trey Burke

This comparison is unfair to the two drafts, because the book isn't closed yet (or even open in 2014's case). That said, I imagine only 2-3 players from the 2013 class would make the cut when all is said and done, and 2 of them are Oladipo and S.Adams.

Tier 1 (franchise player potential)
1.) Embiid -

Tier 2 (high chance of being All-star caliber)
2.) Wiggins
3.) Jabari

Tier 3 (upside guys with all-star potential)
4.) Noel
5.) Gordon
6.) Exum
7.) Smart

Tier 4 (productive guys with limited upside)
8.) Oladipo
9.) Randle
10.) MCW

Good to see a nice, objective post from a 76er fan. Where's Saric though?

Not top ten for me. Probably tier 4.5 but that category hasn't been developed by NASA yet.

Why is MCW so underrated on realgm... the kid was supposed to be raw, take couple of years to be anything and yet he won the rookie of the year, putting up great stats.

1. Embiid
2. Wiggings
3. MCW
4. Greak Freak
5, Parker
6. Gordon
7. Randle
8. Smart
9. Oladipo
10. Noel

12. Exum
13. Shabbazz Mohammed
14. Noah Vonleh
15.Ben Mclemore

G-Bo we'll wait and see on. He has tools, but right now he has to show he can actually help a team win consistently. Right now he's years away from maybe doing that. MCW is overrated, and his numbers empty.
