If JJJ and Trae hit their stride it becomes better. Both narrative wise peaked like two years ago and have fallen out of grace some with time to turn that around.

1. Luka
2. SGA
3. Brunson
4. Trae Young
5. JJJ
6. Mikael Bridges
7. MPJ
8. Ayton
9. Walker
10. Miles Bridges

Great draft but not close to as good as 2003, 1996 or 1984
1970 is pretty damn good too.

Then Brunson is now crushing the East on his way to potentially an ECF in a completely transformed Knicks team. Brunson has lept over guys like Devin Booker IMO. MPJ is a 3rd option on a title winner. Divencenzo is a big time player in NY. Lots and lots of good to great role players. JJJ always a great player.

Is this still a crazy post by me?

1970, 1984 and 1996 draft classes are laughing right now


If you’re only looking at a top 3-4 maybe. But if you look at the draft in total.. which is what I said in my OP.. 2018 is much better and deeper than 1970 and 1984.
No.

JJJ better of Alvin Robertson... jez

It’s hard to say because JJJ is just entering his prime .


Alvin Robertson has been a career derailed by injury but in only 9 season was #1 All-Nba 2nd team, #1 DPOY, #6 All-Defensive, #4All-Star, #3 leader in Steals and still holds the career Nba record for steals per game.

JJJ is not more a rookie... it already has 6 seasons.

Maybe I am stupid, bug who the hell is Walker? I dont remember Walker from this draft. Also, you have Trae too high.


Kemba?

No, seriously, I forgot Lonnie Walker even exist.
