I don't see it as an "all-time great" draft.  A deep draft, yes.  But, to date it's produced four all-stars.

For comparison, 2017 has had six all-stars, as did 2016.

You need to look at a lot of drafts in order to put the 2018 class in proper perspective.

I'd take the Tatum class over that one as a whole

Fox, Mitchell, Tatum, Markannen, Adebayo is a heck of a starting 5.

2nd unit - White, Hart, OG, J. Collins, Allen

Deep Bench - Fultz, Kuzma, Z. Collins

2W - Monte Morris, D. Brooks, Kennard, Monk, Hartenstein

Injury Exception - Ball, Isaac

You need to look at a lot of drafts in order to put the 2018 class in proper perspective.

Seems good not great to me, depending on how the top-end talent shakes out overall.
