    10 players were drafted before Shai Gilgeous in 2018, AND he was traded on draft night. This draft was so stacked that a lot of teams don't regret missing him, but its fun to look back on as he becomes a rising superstar in the league.

    • @Watermelon_Man
      @Watermelon_Man Před rokem +3

      Exactly. This is why I hate when people do “redrafts” and it’s just them ranking the players. They don’t consider the landscape of the team at the time and what positions are already filled. Obviously, there are cases where the teams are so bad they really just need to take the best option, but a lot of times that’s not the case as you get beyond the first 3-5 picks (and sometimes earlier).

  • @kokoro_gospel
    @kokoro_gospel Před rokem +53

    5 seasons in and 2018 is looking very similar to 2011 in terms of depth, both in terms of star power and support pieces. Also, something I just thought of: Shai went 11th in his draft... while Klay Thompson went 11th in his draft. Wild frickin' times.

      @@4ktkaram395 not sure what’s funny lol. He scores 5 more ppg, on much better efficiency, while having stats we haven’t seen since Jordan being put up. Trae is not even close to Shai. Shai is a top 10 player, Trae is hovering around the 20-25 range. Luka is still better, but Shai is getting close because of his defense.
