Am I the only one who's really happy with where our draft picks are landing?
The 2019 draft is id say picks 3-5 are sub-par, but 6-10 is actually pretty good, and the true value is in the 14-25 range. There will be mid to late first round gems, and we have 2-3 shots at that "value tier". I read a lot of comments online and am seeing this consensus start to develop
As for SGs, this is EASILY a better SG class than 2017. Barrett, Porter Jr., Johnson, Herro, Langford, Culver, Alexander-Walker, etc. It dwarfs the '17 SG class who's best prospect was Malik fricking Monk (even though I had Mitchell as the best SG, most had Monk).
At SF you had Tatum and Jackson and not much else after that. Tatum had his issues defensively and Jackson had his issues offensively. This SF class is infinitely deeper: Hunter, Little, Reddish, Horton-Tucker, King, Okpala, etc. Tatum is the best prospect here, but you can make an argument the next few are from this class.
PF/C is easily this class. '17 had Markannen (who A LOT of people didn't even like) and Zach Collins (who wasn't even a starter at Gonzaga)...meanwhile you have Zion, Grant Williams, Sekou, Porter, Hayes, Bol, Fernando, etc. in this class.
I think a strong argument can be made that 19 > 17 pretty comfortably in terms of depth. This draft class is being slept on.
