Delon Wright is statistically a consensus top 10 pick. Why is he projected so much lower by the major mock drafts? Who is in error?

The front offices of bad teams are usually bad, so they do dumb stuff like not drafting Delon Wright over any PG not named Mudiay or Russell. Since they aren't interested, draftniks like Ford don't hear anything about him, so they keep them low on their boards, while a scrub like Jarell Martin who has a promise from someone rises up the board to match what an NBA front office thinks of him.

You have to take into consideration his age and measurements.

Delon Wright is where he should be, everyone knows who he is. Taking him ahead of the point guards outside of Mudiay and Russell would be foolish as well in my opinion, seems that there is an agreement there amongst draft boards. Taking Jarrell Martin where he is slated to go is perfectly within reason as well.

Well, that's why he is not being mocked as high in the actual draft.

Also, as a Sixers' fan Evan Turner has made it that perhaps I do overrate age and length.

Considering Jordan Adams was considered the top prospect last year in analytics id say probably them
