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

For me, the size only matters on defense. Wade and (to a lesser extent) Dipo are superior athletes, offering some flexibility (and even some rim protection) on that end. Hield doesn't look like that type of athlete.
That doesn't mean you don't draft him if you're the Pels- they need as many actual NBA players as they can find for this roster and Hield can help right away. But size on defense on the perimeter is an issue the Pels have ignored for 4 years. At some point, assuming they want to be a decent defense, they need to get serious about perimeter players in the 6'6"-6'9" range.
