A problem I see with the deep draft twitter nerd crowd is that most them aren't really numbers guys, they're just query boys.

What does that mean?

I see a lot of guys consider themselves “numbers guys” when they’re really just torturing the bart queries until it returns something they like.

It gets so annoying. The qualifiers some use are just so dumb.

Something about him seems off to me. I’m kinda just out on him. For reasons I can’t explain he gives me Royce White vibes.

I’m in on Yax (lol).

If the game translates he is the perfect fit here.

Illinois’ Keaton Wagler was No. 261 in his class. Now he could be an NBA lottery pick

Wagler went mostly overlooked as a high school recruit, but is the leading scorer for a Final Four contender as a freshman.

Nerds gatekeeping what it means to be a nerd

FWIW, I think the draft that this draft compares the most to in quality is the 2014 draft.

That was maybe the biggest disappointment of a draft ever so I hope not.

Ultimate glue-guy. Caulk-guy (fills all the cracks)?

Prime Boris Diaw would be wonderful. I am substantially less lost at #5-8.

The outcome ended up on the lower end of the possible outcomes, but similarly there were three legit number one prospects in that draft.

Yeah, I can see that.

I definitely don't think anyone in this draft has the potential of Embiid though.

I think DP/AJ/CB all have multiple year all-star potential, but I don't think we are looking at a draft where a guy will be a perennial top 5 type player.
