Final word on the strength of this draft class

[FarBeyondDriven]

I feel like 2013 is the apt comparison

No true superstar at the top, best players are gonna be taken in the mid-late 1st, and a bunch of guys are gonna end up sticking around for a solid 8-10 years

Big difference is probably no Giannis level superstar emerges from the middle of the 1st, but you never know, nobody thought 2013 was gonna have a Giannis level player either

But I guess that depends on how exactly you define a class as being bad though, cause 2000 is probably the standard of a bad class, only 3 All Stars each with only 1 appearance, meanwhile 2013 only had 3 All Stars but you have a 2x MVP (and 1x DPOY) and a 4x DPOY player in there

Basically, this is a bad year to have the #1 overall pick.

k, I'll put you down for Tier 8. Thanks

Worst draft class in my lifetime

Are you 3?

LMAO if you think 2020 was worse than this.

2020 has a few clear stars:
Edwards
Ball
Maxey
Bane
Haliburton

Of course, only Edwards and Haliburton are going to be a perennial all stars.

Some decent roleplayers:
Okongwu
Nesmith
Quickley
Pritchard
Merrill
McDaniels
Joe

And then quite a few players who people think are good, but are actually not:
Williams
Vassell
Anthony
Stewart
Jones
Smith
Reed
Tillman

Rest of the draft is pretty much junk. I think this draft has fewer fringe all star calibre players like Maxey, but probably better depth than 2020. I don’t think it’s at all out of the range of possibilities that this draft turns out to have more impactful players than 2020.

I see almost zero chance that this draft has a better “best 10” players than 2020.

But it could quite easily have a better bottom 40
