1984 - That's the same draft that produced Olajuwon, Jordan, Barkley and Sam Perkins at the top, along with Sam Bowie.
After McLemore, this draft is dead. Even with a top 10 pick you won't be getting much. Forget about it.
That is the nonsense that is repeated before every draft, but year after year, it is proven to be foolishness.
"Experts" predicted that the 2011 Draft had 0 potential elite players (All Stars)... 2 years later, Kyrie Irving is a top 20 player, Klay Thompson is a young star, Faried, Vucevic, Harris, Butler, Shumpert, Leonard, Parsons (2nd round). This can be done with any draft
The draft might be dead after Mclemore (for you), but there's definitely valuable players to be had.
