So I hear a lot of people talking about how great this graft is and have read some fans saying things like "The 6-10 players are more like 1-5 players in a regular draft" or "The 3-6 players are more like 1-3 players in a regular draft". II have heard there's a ton of future All Stars in this draft.

Well. Who do you think they are and how many are there?

Interest of fairness, only two drafts in the last 13 years has had more than 5 All-Stars and the most common number of All-Stars in a draft over that time is 5, by a wide margin.

My list:

Andrew Wiggins
Joel Embiid
Gary Harris
Tyler Ennis
Julius Randle
PJ Hairston


Remember, I am not saying every player here is a perennial All-Star, just that they will make at least one All-Star game. Even in the 8 player All-Star group from Lebron's 2008 draft class(the highest amount of players from a draft class had three players that only made an All-Star game once: Chris Kaman, Josh Howard and Mo Williams.

So what do you think?

I don't follow college much but from what little I've seen and heard about I think ultimately dante exum might be the best player in this draft and be the one who has a chance at multiple allstar appearances.

That's a butchering of a Bilas quote from last year's draft, where he said that if the two drafts had been merged, the #1 pick from 2013 would've gone #6.


Anyway:
Parker
Wiggins
Smart
Exum


Big men are too hard to predict since the demise of the center position crowds the playing field.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

That might be the most All Stars in a draft class in the modern basketball era. You really think this draft is that good?

I might have gone a little over the top.  Take out Early and Porzingis. 

Edit:

I'm reading that Porzingis is going to be a cross between Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki.  Put him back on the list.

I'll predict that one of the top three guys will never be an All-Star and that it is impossible to predict which one before they actually play in the NBA, but that at least one player taken after the top three will be a future All-Star.

I'll go with:

Wiggins
Parker
Embiid
Vonleh
Saric
Payton

A lot of other guys that are very good starters (Stauskas, Smart, Anderson, etc.) but short of all-star caliber.

Its not that I don't think he will be a good player, I just don't think he will be All-Star good. I think he might be an all around better player than one or two of the players I mentioned but that due to positions they play and the type of game they play that they might get in to an All Star game once. Marcus Camby and Cedric Maxwell never made an All Star team. Chris Kaman once did. I would say Camby and Maxwell were much better all around players than Kaman.
