This draft was lacking at the top end. Everyone falls in love with those two top prospects that are so far ahead of everyone else, they consume every talking point leading up.

This draft had zero top end talent. Bennett is good, very good, but not #1 overall good, IMO.

That said, this draft was very deep. Hell, guys like CJ Leslie didn't even get drafted. Think about that for a second.

Like you said, this was the draft to fill key needs with role players that will be in the league for a while. There weren't any guys I'd call busts in this draft, a lot of very solid players. Even a guy like Shabazz, who I have considered a bust since I first saw him play, will absolutely spend years in the league.

If you had a draft spot between 5-20, you did very well, IMO.
