    Trading down, passing on Luka and drafting Trae Young at number 5 because ownership wasn't sure about Doncic is a D grade at best, definetely not A+. The Hawks got an additional first out of it, which they used to draft Cam Reddish. Bad stuff by Atlanta. Trae is an All-Star calibre player but it's still pretty egregious to trade away Doncic.

    The Sexton rating should be higher, if you're re-grading the draft. The Cavs got a couple of very good seasons from him then used him to get Donovan Mitchell. So, from the point of view of him as draft pick, he worked out very well. The lack of production is Utah is relevant to the trade, not the draft.

    I'm a Duke fan, and I never understood Bagley at #2. So many of the things that have held him back in the NBA were obvious at Duke. His defense was probably the worst I've ever seen from a Duke freshman. It was so bad that Duke permanently went to zone to hide his bad instincts and terrible effort. He was a great offensive player, but he's a tweener. He can't play center defensively, and he can ONLY play center offensively (due to his lack of a jumpshot). He also has zero passing ability. I expected him to do better in the NBA than this, but what was his best case? Poor man's A'mare Stoudemire? In this era, that's not a tenable player. And it's certainly not one you draft #2.

    So of all the drafts I've scouted this one was by far the one I was most accurate in predicting. There were still some errors I made obviously....I didn't expect Luka to be who he is today, I expected SGA to be an average serviceable player but nothing like he's become..but what I did best was suggesting the Suns should take Karen Jackson over Ayton because I thought Jackson had a lot more upside, after him I thought Mikal Bridges was the next best pick in the draft although I understand not taking him in the top 5 because he was a couple years older than most other guys and he didn't have as much developing and growing to do he was pretty NBA ready come draft night, lastly I couldn't believe the run on this draft's batch of point guards didn't come sooner...in the second round guys like Jalen Brunson, Devante Graham, Jevon Carter, etc. were still available. Also not for nothing I think this was also the draft where Mitchell Robinson didn't go until the second round just because he sat out a year which is crazy to me. But I remember thinking after the draft ended that I could make a pretty good team with a starting five of Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Michael Porter, Miles Bridges, and Jaren Jackson with some backups like Jevon Carter, Anfernee Simons, Divencinzo, Robert Williams, and Mitchell Robinson. Obviously looking back at it today I'd make some changes but my god this draft was loaded..and how good was that Villanova team that helped make this draft so good? I didn't even mention Omari Spellman and they also had Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, and Divencinzo...how did they ever lose? Lol

    Saying miles bridges wasn't playing at an all-star level before the off court stuff is ludicrous he was averaging 20+ a game and was top 10 in all star voting for his position that year also was in most improved player talks and he looks good this year as well he's definitely all star caliber

    It's weird saying for example:"You could've had Shay instead of Mo Bamba", because there is no guarantee that an organization will shape up a player they had drafted in a good manner. Organization is as important as a player's talent and work ethic. Look at the NFL-Trevor Lawrence looked like a bust in his rookie year because his head coach was Urban Meyer, but as soon as Pederson came he bounced back.

Meanwhile Wendell has never played in a single playoff game and had to be attached to two firsts just to get Nikola Vucevic lol

    It was a combination of Mo’s lack of assertiveness to develop his game overall. Plus having a coach like Steve Clifford not too trusting to playing Mo enough for him to develop his game was also a factor to Mo’s departure from the Magic.
