The 2018 NBA Draft saw 11 point guards taken in two rounds, which saw everything from MVP candidates, second round steals and league washouts, making it the strongest point guard class the NBA has seen since 2009. So six years after the draft, what do the careers look like today for every point guard from the 2018 class and what does the future hold for them?

The fact that Luka, Trae, SGA, and Brunson were all in the same draft class is just absolutely insane. Could go down as a top 5 draft class ever.

That 2009 draft was rock solid with guards like Steph, Harden & Jrue leading the way
I completely forgot that Brunson and Luka were drafted together. This was a great video man, excellent content and delivery, as usual.
Let’s be honest when Brunson was drafted he was a three year college player who’d won two NCAA titles, one as a freshman and one as a Junior where he was the best player on the team and was also voted national college player of the year before declaring for the draft. So I think maybe a few people would go with the fact that he was going to be pretty good. He wasn’t the typical draft steal. He was actually the best player in college basketball but because of his size and the fact that he wasn’t a one and done saw him fall crinimally low that year.
It's next to impossible not to root for Jalen Brunson. He's like if JJ Barea made it big. No pun intended.
Trae Young played with Dejounte Murray (a former All-Star) or did you mean someone that won All-Star whilst playing with Trae?
I still have hope for sexton. I think eventually you’ll see him as a low tier all star
Amazing detail! Keep it up! I mean AMAZINNNNNGGGGFG DETAIL! All the way down to Brunson’s contract !!!!!
Love your videos and breakdowns. Keep up the great work! 👌🏽🏀

I feel like they never look for "he knows how to play basketball" lmaooo
What about anfernee simons or was he not listed at pg during the time of the draft?
Brunson and Jevon carter both played on the same aau team as well
Now we look back at it, could Brunson and Luka have worked out workout?
The draft class was guard/wing heavy crazy
2:43 Play this back at .25 speed and notice the hand going under the ball to interrupt the dribble, followed by turning it over and resuming the dribble. This is just practice, but he (and many others) get away with it in games, too. And it is the sort of thing that drives me crazy.

@@handbanana5555 It violates the rules. It's an unearned advantage for the offensive player. Do we really need more of those? I began following basketball in the last half-season Wilt Chamberlain was a Warrior, btw. The season before Rick Barry was a rookie. (There's a possible connection.) This complaint goes back to at least when John Lucas was a #1 pick in the draft, iirc. His variation was that he got his hand a bit under the ball at the top of each dribble before (usually) continuing it. I was, like, "Call the f**king carry!" So that's a decade and a half before Billups got into the league.
Feel like Collin really got a raw deal from the Cavs. Front office did very little to empower and allowed the discourse for his teammates to continue when he was first drafted. Nor did they bring in any players to help him develop or compliment his skill set. Wish he would’ve went somewhere with more proven player development and believed in him more. Look at what he’s doing in Utah, imagine if the Cavs actually treated him like a lottery pick.
By far the best playmaking class
2027 season gonna have some crazy guards if this keeps going like it is
Not having the best plater by far in the draft on the thumbnail is just ridiculous
I send my friend screenshots of when I told him that the Magic should get SGA... ...every season. It stings harder each year.

Idc who went where Im jus happy my Mavs swapped Trae for Luka
Two Uploads within 5 days? Are you hacked bro lol
going thru brunson story, i just wanted to punch a lot of people because of how they graded that Knicks signing as a D. like dont yall watch what happen in the utah vs dallas series when luka was injured? Do yall even watch basketball? he scored from all 3 levels, unstoppable at his own pace just like Luka and SGA.
Anfernee Simons?
Trae is the most hated player in the league this season. He’s at least a top 5 pg in the league

Top 5 is a stretch. 1. SGA 2. Luka 3. Steph 4. Tyrese 5. Brunson 6. Fox 7. Trae
Clippers being the clippers and fumbling like always doesn’t surprise anyone. Shai boutta be 1st all nba while the clippers go home in round 2 this year 😂
I don’t understand how they continuously say Brunson is the best point guard the Knick’s have had in 40 years. Grateful for him but that’s not a true statement
