    I GUARANTEE no one as a GM would've picked Giannis in the 2013 Draft with the 1st pick, let alone the top 5 picks. My Milwaukee Bucks luckily got him and he's the greatest steal in NBA Draft history at Pick #15! I remember it pretty clearly, he was considered pretty unpolished with shooting and dribbling as weaknesses. We drafted him based on 1, maybe 2 things: A) His potential was unlimited as he was only 18 still growing with the wingspan of a fuckin Pterodactyl (we've seen that now) and (B) he had a great work ethic.
    I remember being happy with the pick because #15 overall picks are usually expected to be role players at best, and I saw his ceiling as like a fringe All-star But I DOUBT anyone thought he could be as amazing as he is today. He was also tough to evaluate because he was basically self-made, never really had elite coaching/training and his competition level was in the Greek League's 3rd Division in 2011 and only the 2nd Division in 2012 where his stock was then rising fast but the Greek 2nd Division is NOWHERE close to the NBA- probably around a top 20-50 D1 college program (?) where he averaged like 10 PPG and decent rebounding.
    He improved by A LOT every year though (like +5 PPG every season!!) and the time I remember really noticing how good he could be (like MVP level, which NO ONE expected when he was drafted) was when we took the #1 seeded Celtics to 7 games as an 8 seed basically thanks to him alone (Khris Middleton was another surprise that took several years to develop) and we are a small-market team so thank god he's super loyal. He was already like All-star level at that point and CLEARLY willing to put in the work to be the best so it's been a dream come true b/c we weren't a contender since like 2000 w/ Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson.

    Picking Ben Simmons as the best player in his draft class did not age well. I would easily take Jaylen Brown, Domantas Sabonis, Dejounte Murray, Pascal Siakam, or Brandon Ingram over him. But, like you said, hindsight is 20/20.

If anything, you know hes going to give it his all, and really that's all you ask in the end. James Wiseman also has the most NBA ready body, ever since he left college ball. I guess hes kind of like Deandre Ayton right, just with more determination

Oversized players relative to their position are great in general, but a chance to get a KD, Bron, Giannis, Harden, Doncic, or Simmons type of player is a must-cop. Lamelo will have to toughen his body up to bang with NBA players tho. As long as injuries don't plague Lamelo, he will be the best player in that draft class easily.

      I agree. Just bc they may not be better than their fellow draftees today does not make them unworthy of being selected 1st overall. For all of them, they were the best player in the class for a certain period of time.

    Video is already funny in 2024, especially that final question. I did not realize Obi was ever in consideration for number 1, he certainly is reliable though and might just have better careers than two of them depending on health.
    But what’s crazy is that the two point guards who have had an impact on the league are not LaMelo.
    I think it’s somewhat reasonable to assume
