We should be able to make moves if this is how most teams are operating.

So odd, do they just mean in top tier talent? #5-60 looks about the same as any draft ever. I predict mid way through next season everyone is talking about how this is a pretty good rookie class and everyone was being very hyperbolic about it.

Givony’s updated mock:

1. Risacher

4. Dillingham
5. Topic
6. Buzelis
7. Sheppard
8. Knecht (Jazz)
9. Williams
10. Collier
11. Walter
12. Holland
13. Edey
14. Castle
15. Salaun
16. Filipowski

I know this is Givony's life work, whereas I learned most of these names in the past 48 hours. But this mock stinks.
 
I don't think this draft is worse than 2016.
I think Topic is going to be good.
I think Sarr is as viable as Evan Mobley.
I think Dillingham is a better prospect than Garland.
I really like Cody Williams though he has some work to do.
I think Buzelis will work as a Swiss-army knife connector.
Risacher will at least be a high-end 3D guy with some extra value.
Reed Sheppard should be as good as Fred VanVleet.
Dalton Knecht can shoot, but also do some Brent Barry/Mike Miller stuff with the ball.
Ron Holland has real upside.
Kelel Ware could be a sleeper.

I think this class could produce 3 guys who play in an All Star game.

There is a lot of group think in the NBA imo. Not having a big door prize is definitely an issue with this draft. There have been drafts where I like guys in like the 30s and 40s a lot... I don't think this is that draft.

I did some sleuthing and every draft has 3 all stars minimum. It will be harder to find out which 3 guys will be all stars in this draft. Maybe this one only has 1-2 and truly is the worst draft. There will still be a lot of good starters picked.

Most likely gm's from teams without a 1st rd pick so they aren't overly invested in this draft and want to make themselves feel better.

partly... but also that has been the narrative day one with this draft.
 
If this is similar to 2013 (the Anthony Bennett draft) then it has 3 all stars... one of which is an MVP and one of which is a multi-time DPOY.

That was 2013, another funky class.

2016 had 6 all-stars. I think 2016 is safely going to be a better draft than this year. If it really is true this is a terrible draft year I think it would look like maybe the 2000 draft. Still 3 all-stars but one was Magloire so let's call that 2 all-stars.
