re: Outside the Top 4, is this draft weak?

As others have said, there are 2 elite prospects in Simmons and Ingram, then Bender who many think is special, then a mess after that. Dunn and Hield would not be top 5 picks in other draft classes.

If we don't get lucky and we stay at 6, then you will have one of Hield, Dunn, Brown, Bender, or Murray. I think by the time draft rolls around Luwawu won't be a reach at 6 either. You also have other big men options like Ellenson and Poetl

I disagree to an extent. Put Hield and Dunn in say the 2013 draft and they could possibly go #1.

I think this is actually a fairly deep first round draft.

Ingram, Simmons and Bender have the potential to be superstars and hall of fame players. You don't get 3 of those too often in the draft. Then you have a number of guys that at a minimum should be rotational players as their floor but have all star as their ceiling. Players like Murray, Hield, Dunn, and I would argue Valentine.

Then like usual you have a number of high variance prospects that could develop into something special or never be heard of again in a few years. Guys like Brown, Luwawu, Poetl, Rabb, Labissiere.
