Drafting Outside the Top 5


thatlookseasy

Recommended Posts

I feel like some people on this board have unrealistic expectations of the kind of players available outside the top 5 in the NBA draft.  There just arent sure-fire prospects available in the 8-10 range in the draft, you might be able to find a starter, but there are a lot of misses at this position.

 

Here is a list of the 15 players drafted between 8-10 over the last 5 years:

 

Starters: Brook Lopez, Demar Derozan, Brandon Jennings, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Kemba Walker, Brandon Knight, Andre Drummond, Trey Burke

 

Rotation players: DJ Augustin, Jordan Hill, Al-Farouq Aminu, Jimmer Fredette, Terrence Ross, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, CJ McCollum

 

Busts: Joe Alexander, Austin Rivers

 

I think I was pretty generous with these groupings, and some of these guys are getting a lot of minutes because they play for poor teams who are hoping they will develop with enough playing time

I think Aaron Gordon at #9 would yield the most potential.  You cant coach athleticism.  Imo, hes got "it".  Would deffinately be a crowd pleaser.  Would also be nice to have someone represent the hornets in the dunk contest. 

 

Give it up for Air Gordon

It's all about how you look at it:

Lopez, Derozen, George and Drummond are all allstar quality starters. (Kemba might get a nod now that America is aware there is a respectable team in Charlotte). Anyways- there are 4 allstar level players in there

 

That's averages 4 out of 5 years there will be one allstar in the 8-10 range. Pretty good, IMO.

    • https://collegefootballnetwork.com/college-football-playoff-predictor Fun little predictor. You can pick every game for the rest of the season. Right now my 12 are: 1. Ohio St. (bye) 2. Miami (bye) 3. Georgia (bye) 4. Arizona St. (bye) 5. Oregon VS 12. BYU 6. Boise St. VS 11. SMU 7. Notre Dame VS 10. Texas 8. Penn St. VS 9. Indiana   That gives me: Oregon/OSU for the third time this year (Oregon) Miami lucking out once again VS Indiana SMU playing cinderella VS ASU Texas/Georgia one more time (Texas)   That gives me: SMU/Miami again (Miami) Oregon/Texas (Oregon)   Oregon then trashes Miami in the finals.
