Triboy, I'll bet my bottom dollar Jakob is twice as good as Zeller. And this draft is rock solid! Better than the Wiggins, Parker, Embiid, Smart, Randle draft!!
That's not the general perception of this draft among the punditry.
agreed. as the college season progresses, a lot of the top prospects are being exposed as either not as good as expected and/or not physically developed where they could contribute much as rookies.
While the Wiggins draft was pretty hyped, I think when that draft and this one are compared years from now, that draft will look to be the better one.
I think the 2014 draft will prove to be very deep but perhaps overrated in terms of star potential. Obviously, the early injuries have affected the development of Embiid, Parker, Exum, and Randle a lot. Even Smart has had his fair share of games missed.
Gordon has been playing better and we haven't seen Saric yet. Also, we've already seen positive signs from later picks in the first round from Capela, Hood, LaVine, Warren, Nurkic, Harris, and Bogdanovic.
I guess it depends on your definition of "deep." The star power has been lacking, but the amount of solid players who will have careers in this league looks to be great.
