I'm surprised how highly people are all rating Carsen Edwards, why did he fall out of the first round?

You overrate Morant so much, rookies PG need time to adapt in the league. Just because this year Trae and Luka are outliers ( and much better than morant was talent wise), dont mean that would happen again.

Hey.. Malcolm Brogdon came out of nowhere to win it a few year ago.

He was another one of those "older, low ceiling" draft picks

that was a really, really weak class tho, it was a 2 player draft (Ingram/Simmons), and Ingram wasn't ready to contribute as a rook and Simmons got injured.

Assuming health Zion will run away with it. Best player, will have one of the larger roles, team will likely be easily the best of higher picks.

I think this years class is just as weak.Other than Zion, I'm not sold on any of these guys

no way, other than Ingram/Simmons, if you were drafting a top 10 the other 8 would be from this class. it's not really that close.

Who other than Zion do you see becoming a star? I see a bunch of role players and average starters

Zion feels obvious so outside that I think Coby White.

He's built NBA ready, I think Chicago is actually a nice fit for him, it's worth remembering that Morant's numbers were similar in his freshmen year and that if White continues trending upwards, like he did all year, then I think he's potentially a menace.

This.

Another bit of Suns luck that we get the 4 and 8 in a draft where there are 3 obvious talents in Simmons, Ingram and Brown and very little outside of that in the top 10.
