This draft is extremely hyped and some has slightly died but it is still a very deep draft class coming up. So who do you think will shine and who will fail?
Stars:
1. Andrew Wiggins - I believe he's the flat out most talented player in the draft but still needs work. In 3-4 years I believe he will be an elite player in the NBA.
2. Jabari Parker - A bit more polished than Wiggins with the same endless potential. I believe he will win ROY... if he enters the draft which looks like he will
3. Marcus Smart - his stock has slipped dramatically but his frame and talent are too good to overlook. I believe he can be an elite guard.
Busts:
1. Joel Embiid - We've all heard the comparison to Hakeem Olajuwan. But the back issue is a huge red flag to me. And the "once in a generation " label is applied to all these big men who end up suffering injuries throughout their careers.
2. Dante Exum - Every foreign player these days is pegged the next "Dirk" or "Tony Parker". I believe he will either be a superstar or a flat out bust, no tolerance player or solid starter in between.
3. Julius Randle - Plays no defense and needs to improve his shot. Don't think he will be a great NBA player.
