There are are too many players putting up 10+ points for me to write this class off so soon. These guys are just wrapping up their second year in a league where, per Zach Lowe, many players put it all together in years three and four. There might not be any instant superstars, but looking back after another three years I suspect this will have been a solid class.
Giannis has superstar potential and Gorbert may be the best defensive center in the NBA after year 2. Utah is going to start crashing the West playoffs soon with Favors and Gorbert rounding into form.
There are five players with a career PPG over 10.0.
There are two players with a career RPG over 7.0.
There are just seven players with MPG over 25.0.
Maybe the worst draft class ever.
Put it up there with 2000. 00's top ten picks:
1. Kenyon Martin
2. Stromile Swift
3. Darius Miles
4. Marcus Fizer
5. Mike Miller
6. DeMarr Johnson
7. Chris Mihm
8. Jamal Crawford
9. Joel Pryzbilla
10. Kenyon Dooling
Other highlights: Michael Redd, Hedo Turkeyglue, Quinton Richardson and Speedy Claxton.
