2010 NBA Draft Class Was Incredibly Weak

Very few legitimate NBA starters emerging from that class, and I seriously doubt a single one of them will end up being a perennial all-star.
Cousins and Monroe are probably the only ones with a realistic shot of making an all-star team in the next 3-5 years, but I see no guarantees there.
Wall is good-ish, but not particularly special compared to the crop of PG talent that has been flowing into the league in recent years.
Favors and Hayward may end up making some noise later in their careers, but they're nowhere close at the moment.
Wesley Johnson, Landry Fields, Patrick Patterson, and Ed Davis will be average bench-quality players for the duration of their careers.
Beyond that, everyone pretty much sucks.

Being surrounded by retards early on has stunted him.

I think Favors can be outstanding once he develops, he is one of the youngest players in the league and has incredible physical attributes.

2010 is probably better than 2011

Wall is better than "good-ish".

I expected to see a lot more from him by now, but it's still way too early to call him a bust. I'm not incredibly optimistic, but I'm not expecting the worst either. We'll see.

not rally... not saying he won't improve, but so far in the L he has been nothing special at all.

Favors is on a team loaded with big men. I watched him play against the Hawks the other night and he looked pretty good. Much stronger than his one year at Tech.

not in the top half of point guards in the L, right now. Irving is better right now.

Thought the exact same thing watching that game

they have played 1 season, and had another offseason stunted by the lockout. It's way too early to judge this class.

Paul George tearing it up..

Yeah Paul George is gonna be great. My bet for the best player that came out of that draft..
Wall is just going to need time to learn how to play PG in the NBA. Athletically he's astounding, but that's the only way he's even getting by right now. Once he figures out how to play in the NBA and then combine that with his athleticism he'll be one of the best PG's in the game.

Nothing was funny than watching the 2010-March 15th 2012 wiZards. Such low bball IQ it was hilarious

It wasn't hyped as a very strong class, it's about where it should be. Monroe and George are MUCH better than anyone thought they would be.
Wall, Turner, and Favors were supposedly the 3 best prospects and are somewhat disappointing so it may appear that way now but I think all 3 are going to be very good.
