I've heard it described as a draft where if you're not picking 1 or 2 then it doesn't much matter where you pick in the top 10 as some talent will slide.
1. Is that a reasonable assertion?
If the above is true some might be tempted to call it a "deep draft" but my 2nd question is:
2. Is the draft class as a whole that good or are we going to be looking back in 7 years saying "wow.... only 1-2 all stars from this draft and only a couple other starters for good teams"
I guess you'd call that a "weak deep draft"
All just a guessing game at this point but i'm concerned that we're making a lot out of a little.
Personally, I don't even see picking 1 or 2 to be that desirable. This draft is interesting because the wheels on the hype machine have fallen off. I think the whole manufactured 'lottery' advantage of the draft has deflated entirely.
Sure you still have the Ball hype machine and some agent trolls advocating this guy or another but no mock is as regimented as they once were in lockstep.
This doesn't necessarily presume depth but it does reward talent evaluation.
So we may look back at this draft and find that the last in draft order came first. However, due to the talent crunch that a folding of the G-League could create - doesn't matter so much where they get picked - where will they stick?
