I am sure you feel Collins is a failed pick as well.
Collins is interesting. Usually scrappy when I see him. But he plays limited minutes and is up/down. Too early to tell if he's a future starter or a bench guy. He's young and has improved nicely over his iffy rook year. Not a bad player to have drafted, but jury's still out.
For a #10 pick, that's okay, but not great. This Lillard-McCollum-Nurkic team could have used a more NBA-ready yute.
There's at least a half dozen other 1st rounders in that class who are better: Don Mitchell, the other Collins (John), Kuzma, Justin Jax, Jarrett Allen, OG, Bam. [13, 19, 27, 15, 22, 23, 14 respectively]
That's 7. Monk, Kennard, DJ Wilson might be around his level too.
A very solid draft.
Derrick White, Josh Hart and T Ferguson are all stepping up this year[29, 30; 21]. Giles a real wildcard at #20 . And it was super deep, as the 2nd round could set a record for the number of player to stick 3 years or more in the League. Kadeem Allen was the #53 pick; Dotson #44.
Btw, Zach was taken 2 picks after Franc and directly after Dennis Jr.
