Well, it is an enormously weak draft class. That cannot be stressed enough. We’ve known for a couple of years now how weak it was going to be, and honestly it’s weaker than was initially even thought
There are examples of people saying a draft is weak when it’s really not. 2019 was supposed to be a weak draft, but anyone who followed that class knew that it was extremely deep. Same with 2017 (2019 might even be stronger than ‘17). 2020 is just plain weak, there’s no getting around it. There’s some interesting prospects but overall, it’s just downright bad, especially considering 2021 is going to be one of the greatest drafts of all time
I’m aware that Howard isn’t projected, which is why we were saying on the previous page how criminal it’d be if he didn’t get taken. I definitely want the Bulls to take him with the 2nd. Markus Howard has one of the most glorious jumpers I have ever seen
Pokusevsky IMO is the most intriguing prospect in the class with the highest ceiling. Very very low floor, but if he stays healthy & keeps improving like he has been, the dude looks like a homeless person’s white Durant. His size is concerning though. We’ve never seen a 7’4 person succeed long term in the NBA, let alone a 7’4 person who plays point forward & will be handling the ball/pivoting constantly/etc. Seems like it’s a horrific injury waiting to happen, but according to his camp/coaches, he’s very strong & durable for someone so huge
But we can't compare this draft with 2000's ,I don't remember watching such a weak draft.
Experts including DraftExpress said the 2019 draft was very weak outside the Top 3. Turns out they were completely wrong and the 2019 draft was loaded. Nobody knows how strong this draft will be. Edwards/Ball/Wiseman could be huge picks that turn into stars later. We simply don't know and experts are often wrong.
