The 2014 Draft Class was relatively heralded at the time. With luminaries such as Andrew Wiggins, who had been hyped for years, Joel Embiid, who was drawing comparisons to a new-age Hakeem Olajuwon, and a bevy of athletic guards and forwards, it was hard to imagine the class not turning out a solid group of stars and role players.
Four years later, it has been an up-and-down journey for the class. Embiid and Wiggins are the only players who received maximum extensions, but Embiid’s is conditioned upon his health and Wiggins’ contract may end up an albatross for the Wolves.
