Best Top 5 of the 10s 

Post#1 » by E-Balla » Tue Jan 27, 2015 1:25 am

We are practically halfway through the 10s right now and with 5 classes of players I want you to rate those top 5 as prospects. Remember the 10s started in 2011 so its 2011-2015.

My rankings would go:
5. 2013 - Nerlens Noel, Otto Porter, Cody Zeller, Ben McLemore, Victor Oladipo

4. 2011 - Kyrie Irving, Jonas Valancinuas, Enes Kanter, Derrick Williams, Kemba Walker

3. 2012 - Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Bradley Beal, Thomas Robinson

2. 2014 - Jabari Parker, Marcus Smart, Joel Embiid, Dante Exum, Andrew Wiggins

1. 2015 - Jahlil Okafor, D'angelo Russell, Stanley Johnson, Emmanuel Mudiay, Karl Anthony Towns Jr

I dont really understand what you attempted to do here.

Im just going to rank the classes as a whole and include the top 5 players to come out of each of those classes in my opinion.



2013- Victor Oladipo, Giannis Antetokounpo, Gorgui Dieng, Mason Plumlee, Rudy Gobert

I have 2013 ranked 5th because there isnt much star potential in this draft. There wound up being more nba players than expected though with alot of people contributing right now.

2014-Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Joel Embiid, Jusuf Nurkic, Dario Saric

I have 2014 just ahead of 2013 as there is more star potential at the top and alot of these players I am still willing to give the benefit of the doubt to being rookies. It is shaping up to be a big disappointment as a whole. It doesnt appear to be producing a lot of productive players.

2015-Jahlil Okafor, Karl Towns, Emmanuel Mudiay, Stanley Johnson, Willie Cauley Stein

I have the current draft class right smack in the middle. I think this class winds up producing alot of quality players and some all stars but being as none of them have stepped on an NBA court yet I couldnt rank them ahead of the 2012 or 2011 class.

2012-Draymond Green, Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, Andre Drummond

I have 2012 as the runner up. This was a real nice class, produced alot of productive players as well has some serious talent at the top.

2011-Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Vucevic

I have 2011 coming in 1st. I know what many of you are thinking and honestly all I can say is this is one of the most overlooked and underrated draft classes. This class produced alot of staples for the league and alot of top end talent. Look through both rounds to get an idea before dismissing it.
