Greatest 1,2,3 Draft Class

[slamtheking]

I definitely remember Jaylen being considered the third guy in a two-man draft.  But I thought Tatum's draft was thought of as pretty equal across the top four.  My recollection is that Fultz was the consensus #1 but not by much, Ball was #2 just because of the connection to LA at that pick, but Tatum and Jackson were right up there with them.

I preferred Jackson at the time.  Whoops.

I definitely remember here that it was not a JB is #3 consensus.  I think the majority of people were split between Dunn and Bender.  Having difficulty recalling that there more than maybe a few people in the JB camp before the pick and afterwards, a whole lot of "Danny's an idiot".

Agreed. It was a crapshoot after #2 and hotly debated on here. People were in different camps.  Dunn was probably the most vocal being the local guy.  Bender was the polarizing guy who people either loved or hated. There wasn't much in between there.  Some people were in the Hield or Murray camps.  Then you had people banking on the potential of Chriss.  The board was all over the place.  Brown had supporters but it wasn't like he was a slam dunk or anything.  Lot of question marks there.  If I recall, around his shooting. 

'17 seemed to be more Tatum or Jackson.  I think a few were on Fox but this pick wasn't as divisive as '16.

wasn't the issue with Jackson that he refused to work out or meet the C's front office?  I thought that was a principle factor in them picking Tatum

Dunn was especially popular because of the rumors that Chicago really wanted him and would trade Butler for a package built around Dunn

I definitely remember seeing a lot of "Celtics Dunn [messed] up" among NBA fans after we took Brown

Philly also wanted Dunn.  I forget the exact trade rumored to be in the table but I think it was something like Noel, Covington, and a pick in the 20's for 3.  The Sixers wanted to add Dunn to Simmons, Embiid, and Okafor while removing 1 of their 3 centers.

I'm glad for this too!  I was team JB from the get-go.  Still can't believe people boo'd that pick!
