There is definitely a lot of quality players in the draft. Also finally have a lot of intl guys who can be good players. The big problem is the lack of a few guys who you can see as superstars. So not the best year do have a high draft pick. At 3 and 12 we can definitely get two guys who can be starters in 2-3 years.
Where would Jimmer go in a non-weak draft?

I agree. I think the draft will be more than solid, but lacking the super-duper stars.

At least #1...
At least. Perhaps before then.
15+(25-8)/166*7+3

I think in general, this draft is a +5 spot increase. Guys like Knight who will probably go in the top 7-10 would typically go in the teens.
However, sometimes the draft is a little more complicated. Had Jimmer entered the draft the year Dwill, CP3, and Felton entered, he may not have gone until the late 1st early 2nd round. In other drafts, like this one, where there aren't any "franchise" PGs (sorry, I don't believe Irving is the next Drose), he'd go in the teens to early 20s (like Ty Lawson).

There is some simple math here folks. In Colton's roll up of the mock's, Jimmer is at 15. He has been 16 more than any other spot and as high as 13. The roll-up average is a nice summation of a number of draft boards. This draft had 4 guys drop out who were in everyone's top 10 before dropping out. Even before those folks dropped out, this was called a weak draft by virtually all of the prognosticators. That means in a better draft, we would have another 4-6 players fighting for a lottery spot.
Clearly the mocks are wrong and sometimes by a long ways. Look at where Hoffa got drafted or Tim Tebow in the NFL last year. It happens and it could happen to Freddy. However, if one goes with averages, it is pretty straight forward.
