2015-6 Draft Class

[gom]

Greetings! This topic is for discussion of the 2015-6 draft class. Of course players change draft classes - that's part of the fun - so we are flexible, but the idea is to put some order into the discussion to evaluate how the different draft classes are shaping up. I'm adding a few players to start. Also, in an effort not to impose my judgment on their qualities, I'm posting this initial list of players sorted by position (PG,G,SG,GF,SF,F,FC,C) and name. Links to nbadraft and draftexpress will shortly be added, along with hometown and birthdate. Also adding threads on real gm that I find.

I think like the 2015 class, this will be seen as a "weak" class until more and more people start seeing what these guys are made out of.

A lot of these guys have some serious star potential, I see it as very comparable to the 2015 class.

Btw, Kris Dunn is a junior.

Thanks! I have to go over the "year" field again. I got the data from multiple sources and discovered some of it is wrong, but it was too late to make changes. This weekend I'll have a look and verify the info. Then I'll add the 2016-7 topic.

And, yes, I agree that this is a solid class, maybe not as many highlight players, but it looks very deep to me. As a Celtic fan, you must be very happy. I respect what Ainge has done for your club - farming out the tank to other teams. Other teams should learn from him.

do all isaiahs have to be point guards?
