When have we ever seen a draft where in an age dominated by wings and guards five of the top six are big men, and they all shoot three's.

 Even Ayton the seven foot 265 pound monster freak shoots the three well and has great form. Bamba shot looks promising, Jacksons dad Jaren Jackson always had him shooting three's.

 Wendell Carter is Al Horford light meaning he does it all. Bagley was touched by the hand of God to play basketball to steal David Griffin line.

 The new breed of Switching, moving, three point shooting, shot blocking bigs have arrived, and it's awesome.

 I'm not agreeing with the way the new bigs play, but I'm happy that the NBA is actually getting 5 guys near seven feet tall that are going at the top of the draft that is a very good sign.

I think you are over rating this class of big men. Sure, they can hit 3’s now. But so can Aron Baynes. Let’s see how they fit into NBA style.

Yeah, he's overrating them.

He's also right. We're going to have more talented big men than we had 5 years ago. Soon enough, around half the league will have a good big man.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

 I don't think so. They are 5 out of 6 best prospects in the draft in an era that's about shooting and spacing. That's impressive.
