People wait, hope, and wishcast these lottery picks for years until they’re out of the league.

Which of the top 10 picks do you really think are future all stars? Wait and see is such a cop out. I’m happy to break down individual players.

I’m making a call and if I’m wrong I’m wrong but fence sitting until something happens is boring.

Here are my “predictions”

Fringe* all stars maybe:
Castle
Sarr

Impact players:
Clingan
Holland

Future role players:
Risacher

Bench riders:
Sheppard
Edey

End of bench / out of the league:
Dillingham
Salaun
Williams

I’m fine being wrong but I bet I’m right on at least 80% of these

Oh I'm not saying the draft class is good, I'm saying I'll give them more than one season before deciding whether they can beat 2000's top 10 with Kenyon Martin a 1 time All-Star as the only one to make an All-Star team and Jamal Crawford as the second best player in the top 10.


Micheal Redd says hello…

Actually impressive that he was known as a shooter in the NBA while in college was he wasn’t remotely a shooter.

Yea for sure, Redd was nice.

The poster was focusing on the top 10 players in the respective drafts, so I was sticking to that premise and not citing any guys out of that group

Can't say it is terrible after one season. Certainly we aren't going to say it is great, but it's going to be one of those classes where we have to wait to see.

Kenyon Martin for example didn't become an All-Star until his 4th season at 26 years old.

These guys are 1 season and two games into their careers and we're talking about "at least another draft class had an All-Star", I mean, lol

Ok then forget the draft year comparison lol

We can focus on the players.

There’s a lot to like about his game, but the idea that he’s going to a consistent 20+ ppg scorer seems a little farfetched imo.

His rebounding is great for his size though

Uh no. What?

Buzelis, Topic, Sarr, Castle, Risacher, just off the top of my head. He isn't even the best prospect on his own team. I forgot about Ware too.

I would love for you to backup your take that Topic is a better prospect than Kyshawn.

Haven't seen him due to injury but he was unanimously a better prospect pre draft.

Cody Williams was a better draft prospect too like that is worth anything
