Top 10 NBA Prospects Heading into the League since 2007

Wiggins wasn’t that hyped after his underwhelming college year. He was hyped in high school, which is why Embiid was considered like the true talent in that draft. I don’t think Wiggins and Parker are top 10. I think 3 guys from 2018 are ahead of them.

We need to clarify prospect pre June draft of their draft year. Or prospect coming into college

Cause Zion was only the number 3 prospect coming into Duke. He was not the number 1 prospect. But he is the number 1 prospect for his June draft.

So we need to define prospect timing.

Same with Andrew Wiggins. He was number 1 prospect heading into college. But Joel embiid was the number 1 prospect June draft (but than they found foot injury days before the draft)

and I don't recall a single person who thought he would go ahead of Oden.

Perhaps not, but there were many people who thought he should go ahead of Oden.

I seem to remember those people making that known around 2012

No, I followed closely that draft and there was a nice amount of people thinking Durant should be the top pick. Not me, by the way.

Yeah the "is this Sam Bowie v2" talk was very real.
