Find it eerie that the players at the top are similar
Simmons=LeBron, playmaking foward
Bender=Darko, Euro question mark big
Ingram=Melo, big scoring sf
Lab=Bosh, offensive and a thin PF
Dunn=Wade, seasoned combo guard
Poetlt=Kaman, tough center.

Of course I don't expect a Bender over Ingram pick this time around.

I don't think Ingram and Melo are at all comparable.  Dunn is a PG not a combo guard.

I'd say Jaylen Brown is more similar to Wade.

I don't know if you can ever look at a draft before it's even happened and say it could have as much talent as that 2003 draft.  That draft was an outlier.  We don't know if even one of the players in this draft will turn into a perennial All-Star, let alone 4 or 5.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

Let's hope so....

Starting to think the gap is closing between Simmons and Ingram
