This was already a weird NBA Draft class, even before the league’s shutdown.
It was always called a bad draft class, but I don’t think that was ever really accurate. I think it’s more just a weird one.
There are some guys who can play. Some who, if they land in the right fit, could have some really nice upside. But there’s obviously a lack of clear high end, blue chip guys. So you don’t really want the top pick, who is going to be making $10 million in three years. More valuable is the fifth pick, where you can still get the right guy but is making a few million dollars less.
