Very Weak Draft!!!

[CharlotteNBATeamFan]

I have no problem with people calling the draft weak when comparing it to some of the great drafts of the past based on the eye test. However I do find some of the know it all statements as to weakness or strength of a draft in comparative terms to MOST drafts is ignorant.

I will say this draft looks to be weaker than many but I will not swear to it. I don't care how many years someone has played, coached or watched basketball, nobody can definitively say what will become of a draft class. Also just because a draft does not have a poop load of players who will shine in the NBA from season one does not make it weak. Some drafts are not so much weak but are slower to progress to the point of giving a fair grade to. This draft looks weak. I can not say matter as a matter of fact that is. Nobody can definitively know how a draft class will turn out.

This draft class in not some draft class near and dear to my heart but I am not a prophet or psychic and there is no such thing in real life so I will not make blanket statements about anything I could not possibly know for certain. Over and out.

There's no such thing as a weak draft for a team that needs everything. It's doubtful we find a franchise guy in this draft but getting a guy who can be a legit stater on a playoff team is very likely and would be a good start.

I'm sure Toronto were telling themselves the same thing when they drafted Bargnani.

I was talking to my friends though... I think we'll start seeing more and more drafts like this on paper. 1 year of college ball isn't enough to tell if a player has potential to be a "star" in the nba

e: i mean at 18-19 how the hell can you tell a kids potential

It certainly is a worry and I for one would like the rules to change to see a minimum of two years of college ball prior to declaring ... once we're no longer a certainty to be picking in the lottery that is

I doubt it. From what i read around the draft that year, Colangelo had a boner for Bargnani for years before they drafted him. That was "his guy". Most other gm's didn't see it that way. But who knows. Biz was Cho's guy all the way and so far it's looking like we burned a top 10 pick on Ian Mahimi's little brother! lol.

The two biggest things going into this draft are to make sure to not whiff on a guy and wind up with nothing, and to not get too hung up on what a guy drafted #1-4 is "supposed" to be. The rap on this draft, for a while, has been that while there may not be even a single franchise guy, there's plenty of solid NBA players to be had. Just like MKG is unlikely to ever be a franchise player, even though he was taken second overall, the team may need to be okay with taking a borderline all-star in the top three and not judge him based on his draft position.
