On the flip side, Scoot, Amen, Ausar, and Bilal are all just "potential" picks but they really haven't been that good or proven they are regular NBA players yet. You still take them over Dick now, but I think in 5 years at least 2 of those guys are viewed as colossal busts.
Interesting that you think Dick is a better player or with equivalent potential. I think he is just at most at the same level with those you mentioned.
Meanwhile, the ones that I ranked was reading a few websites
I think Dick has the best NBA skill - and that is shooting. Ausar/Amen are great defenders so that would be close to but their shooting is just so bad that they could end up unplayable.
Reality is they all have question marks.
Scoot has been downright dreadful.
Aside from Wemby and Miller, I don’t think at this point there are any of the other draft picks that are clearly more impactful than Dick.
If one of the Thompson twins learns to shoot, they would elevate to a different level,
