Best rookie from 2013 NBA draft

Well the season is winding down, and we have seen these rookies in action. It was labeled as a horrible draft, and its lived up to it 
A lot of busts, and only a few guys that look like legit NBA players.
So who do you think is the best rookie in the NBA right now? And who do you think will be the best in 5 years??
Statistaclly, its MCW. Hes pretty much got the rookie of the year locked up. But his stats are inflated due to the team he is on. He pretty much became the guy from day 1.
But, i just think Oladipo is better than him. Hes more efficient and a very good defensive player. Hes a legit 2 way threat in the NBA. And can get to the rim with ease. Hes also got that 'it' factor going for him. Hard to explain, but just has something about him.
In 5 years, I think Giannis will be the best. His potential is as high as anyone can have in the NBA. I read something where it said in a perfect developmental arc, he lands ahead of Paul George and just behind Kevin Durant. Thats crazy. And hes just 19years old. I think, at worst, he becomes like Batum.
I also think Mason Plumlee has a lot of potential to become a good player in the league. Hes my darkhorse. Great size with elite athletic ability for a C.
And what does everyone think of the guys that have been "busts" so far from this draft? Bennett, Otto Porter, Len, McLemore, etc.
What about you?

In 5 years, the best player will be Oladipo.

It's a horrible draft with some unprecedented flops in high places.
I think MCW is the clear rookie of the year, but I think Oladipo will be the best player from the class. Burke will be solid as well, but there are lots of point guards who will be better.
I think Plumlee has a limited ceiling. He'll be a decent player but nothing more. He can't score more than 10 or 11 a game consistently, ever. You know it's an awful class though when Nate Wolters and Ryan Kelly are legit second teamers for All-Rookie though.

I think Oladipo will be the best player. But i believe MCW and Burke will also have solid NBA careers. Alot of people are very high on Giannis, I personally dont see it but who knows he may surpass all expectations for himself. Plumlee is also a good player.
Oh and dont count on Anthony Bennet just quite yet, i still think he can become a serviceable player and a solid pro. Obviously he was not deserving of a first round pick still

MCW clearly had the best rookie season.
I like Oladipo, Dieng, Burke, and presumably Noel should be good.

What the f sort of deer antler spray did this cat take in the offseason? I watched him play for years at Duke and he never did the kind of shite he is doing since making it to the NBA. He looks like he could have a nice career as a poor man's Tyson Chandler. Dude is looking awesome on defense and on the pick and roll.

You know this has been a horrific draft class if MCW wins ROY going away.
