The thing about professional sports drafts is that the longer they go, the more unpredictable they become. With the NBA, most years the first few picks are usually predictable within a certain range. Since there are only 60 slots, it’s the sort of thing where we can make assumptions about where players are going the closer it gets to the draft.
That’s what makes the 33rd pick so interesting to think about, because this season there are so many interesting guys who could be available, whether they be a late first round slider or a guy the actual experts might consider a reach.
