This past NBA Draft saw a lot of talented basketball players hear their names get called. But, how does the class itself think it’ll end up when the 2018-2019 season comes to a close? NBA.com caught up with members of the 2018 draft class, and asked questions including who players thought would be Rookie of the Year, which rookie will have the best career, and who was the steal of the draft at the position they were drafted?
For that latter question, the consistent answer was former Ohio State Buckeye forward. Keita Bates-Diop, who went 48th overall to the Minnesota Timberwolves, was determined by his draft peers to be the biggest steal of the class.
