Obviously I'm talking about them as prospects only. Can't really compare what they'll turn out to be yet. But Wiggins, Parker, Randle, and Smart all appear to have the talent of #1 overall guys in most classes. 2003 was pretty good. None of these guys measure up to Lebron as a prospect and people forget how good Darko was. Add in Carmelo and that was a really nice top 3. Don't really have the memory to recall any great classes before that.

I would say the 2012 Draft class is shaping up to be a good one with Davis, Lillard, Barnes, MKG, Beal, and Drummond

Who knows now, but it's going to be a goo one for sure. So far Jabari Parker looks like the guy I would take #1.

We've been knowing how deep and talented this draft would be way before the season started.

...and yes, Exum has some Penny Hardaway in him.

84, 96, and 03 are all great classes but this could be just as deep as any of them. There are probably six or seven guys who would go number 1 in last year's draft. Maybe more.
