Overrated. Loaded with busts and bad choices just waiting to happen.

I didn't click any of the links but I stand by my assessment.

Boy, you're dug in on your stance on this one. Curious, what was your thoughts on last years draft?

Mediocre, I guess. Haven't really looked up the performances of any individuals this year.

I like this dude. Only 19 years old. I'll admit I'm a lil worried that his production (points mainly) has gone down in conference play, but mainly because SEC teams are focused on stopping him. He sees mostly double teams. Let this dude mature a lil bit and I see a Zach Randolph 20/10 machine.

Personal observation.

And the observations of a couple of non-biased basketball minds who are appropriately skeptical when watching 18 year old boys play ball.

I'm not saying you're wrong, you just seem very sure of this

And I know next to nothing about them really. I have only watched bits and pieces of games with the top prospects.

I can barely sit through LSU's games. College basketball is some really boring shite.

Hours and hours of game film. Personal trips to AAU games. Personal conversations with their high school coaches.

Or was it you woke up one morning and said, " frick this. I'm tired of hearing about this years draft talent. They frickin suck"?

Someone on a message board being a contrarian just for the sake of being a contrarian?

Who could dream of such a thing?

I'm not in the camp of how great this class is all-time if that makes you feel any better. but i do feel it is about two impact players better than AD's class. wigging and randle are overrated though. randle is the black tyler hansbrough and wigginns stood out in canada!!

Based on talent (which is 80% of NBA draft criteria), this class is loaded. You cannot argue that.

Now will the class look the same in a few months? Will the top players perform well in the NBA?
That's about as fair as asking who will win the 2020 NBA Finals.

I'll put my thoughts

Bennett has a per of like 3 and people were ragging on rivers last year

Oladipo has been very solid

Porter has been terribad

Zeller has been just OK

Len..I'm not sure really

Nerlens

Misc:

Burke has been great imo
MCW isn't as good as his stats suggest
Shabazz
Giannis has been solid in limited time
KCP and Mac haven't gotten enough minutes

VOR hates on every draft because he hates talking about tanking.

Not really, hes been playing against U.S. competition since he was about 15 and went to HS in in West Virginia for the last two years. Its not that he was playing bad competition, its just that he is not very developed offensively yet and only brings defensive intensity in spurts
