"Who are you gonna take? Jrue Holiday? Brandon Jennings? DeMar Derozan? I'm not sure any of these guys are players in the league."

[@GrandeRed]

so weird to hear them say this draft is weak lol, one of the best ever.

[@bridgetjohnson6293]

think about it evans won roy this was a development draft there was no instant stars in this draft minus griffin who didnt play there takes at the time makes a lot of sense

[@gngr2]

Theyre saying 2024 is weak

Chad: "It's a weak draft. The 8th pick in this years draft will be as good as the 18th pick in any other year."
7th pick: Steph Curry
8th pick: Jordan Hill
9th Pick: Demar Derozan
Me: ..... Well hes not wrong lol

[@turner4243]

Jordan hill really did kinda suck. I saw that man brick more 17 foot jump shots then I care to admit. But if I did admit it would probably like 400.

[@bigjmac0816]

“Worst draft in five years”-Bill Simmons
This draft produced Blake, Harden, Curry, DeRozan, Jrue, Teague who were all All-Stars
Not to mention solid contributors/role players like Rubio, Collison, Gibson, Ellington, Beverly, Green, Mills and undrafted talents like Joe Ingles and Wes Matthews

[@maticherzog]

its hilarious to watch this after the 2009 Redraftables:)

[@calcio1609]
