Ultimately the 2013 draft class will end up being better than the 2014 draft class.

Giannis, Gobert, Noel, Schroder, Oladipo, Len, McLemore, Olynyk, and Adams are all going to have very nice careers.  Sprinkle in a few All Star games from that bunch (the Greek might start being there perennially starting next season).

The 2015 draft class haven't played a single NBA minute or second yet so that's my argument!

EDIT:

Okay okay I can't make any arguments about 2014 atm  ;D But we'll see in the long run. Jabari Parker, Joel Embiid, and Julius Randle are all out, unfortunately.

Yeah the 2013 draft class is pretty underrated.  The rise of Gobert and Noel this year really changes things.

But don't sleep on 2014 yet.  There's some guys in it who will be really really good.   Still dont' know what's up with Embiid and Randle.  Unfortunately Parker got injured right before he probably would have started to settle down and start consistently putting up numbers (like Wiggins has).

Not disagreeing at all or anything, but we still have yet to see what the best of the 2014 draft will be made out of. Embiid, Parker, Gordon, and Randle, 4 of the drafts top 7 picks, have missed most to all of the season, so we have yet to get a good look at them.

I'll admit I've been surprised by how freaking loaded the 2013 draft was. Did anyone see that coming? You also need to add Gorgui Dieng, Shabazz Muhammad and Michael Carter-Williams to that group. Trey Burke isn't too far behind them either. What a potentially great draft. Especially when everyone thought it was going to be putrid.

Wait.

Wait.

We're talking about one super-athletic wing (Giannis) and a handful of roleplayers, and we're saying their draft class was loaded?
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.
