This year’s draft class has proven to be short on undeniable star power. There’s really only whats-his-name and then a rather brillig (Ja) morass. Every player with some star potential has had cartoonish holes poked in their games over the course of the season. That wasn’t so for Darius Garland. Highly sought-after coming out of high school, he was ranked 16th overall in ESPN’s top 100 and joined fellow 2018 top-20 kiddo, Simi Shittu, at Vanderbilt. Despite suffering a left meniscus tear and having season-ending surgery after just five games, Garland’s prestige remains largely untouched.
