So, here is a list of #8 picks from 1950 to 2019

And I see a number of 8s have played for us like Jax, Aminu, Wilcox, etc.

50/50 chance he will be any good

Dang. I just saw Robert Parish was on the list. I would take a modern day Robert Parish for sure.

The nba draft is the biggest crapshoot of them all. Most are bums.

I’d say this pick is 70% getting moved.

For what? We need a vet shooter but then you have to deal with salary? I’d rather pick whoever the best shooter available is and save the cap space.

It's a pretty good spot to get a pretty good role player. In addition to the guys already mentioned:

Channing Frye, Rudy Gay, Jamaal Crawford, Andre Miller, Larry Hughes, Brian Grant, Vin Baker, Kerry Kittles, Ron Harper, Detlef Schrempf, Rex Chapman

8/10 starters in the Easter conference finals were drafted below 8.

It’s beetleheaded to only look at the 8th pick, you have to look at any player chosen 8th or lower, because those were all potentially the 8th pick. Just looking at the 8th pick doesn’t really give you any information.

It’s really not difficult tbh

Teams make it more difficult than it should be by constantly drafting projects over guys that can actually play basketball.

Watch film and interview and it’s easy.

Just don’t pick a dumb frick that can barely talk, has zero basketball iq and doesn’t play winning basketball.

If you do that, your pick will hit 80% of the time.

But if you draft like the Sac Kings, you are right. It’s a crapshoot.
