What's the general opinion of the 2014 NBA draft?

It's a weird class imo. You look at the top 10 you think it was a overrated draft. Only real superstar is Embiid, but you have solid players in Randle, Gordon, and Wiggin(although he went #1 overall).

But then you look at the rest of the 1st round and you see an impressive deep draft.
Dario Saric, TJ Warren, Nurkic, Zach Lavine, Gary Harris, Clint Capela.

Then in the 2nd round they had players like Spencer Dinwinddie, Dwight Powell, and fukkin Nikola Jokic. How often does a 2nd rounder end up better than the #1 overall pick and the #1 pick is not a complete bust?

It was overhyped. Dudes were comparing this class to 2003 before they got drafted.

That being said their story is still being told. Jokic, LaVine and Nurkic are potential all stars. Parker could be the difference between a 1st round exit and a ECF appearance this year for the Bucks. And maybe one day Wiggins will actually give a fukk
