I thought it was a deep deep draft?

It's always the case. All drafts are simultaneously deep and weak.

It depends on what you consider a weak draft. So often people say this draft is weak, because it lacks a LeBron type talent in it. Hence why 14 is so hyped up due to Wiggins, etc.

Irving was considered a weak prospect going into the draft. Sure, they thought he was super talented, etc, but rarely was he getting called a game changer/franchise player type talent. Maybe a future all star. Right now he's looking like one of, if not the top PG's in the league and he's only what? 20?

Lilliard was going to be good, but this good so early?

It just all depends on where the guys lands, his position if it's filled already or not (meaning if he's thrust into playing time, has to carry the load, etc.). Who's coaching him up. All sorts of factors.

Leonard, Faried, all these guys are not big time impact players, and they weren't considered this going into the draft.

Of course you're still going to have your busts and whatnot, but with the right scouting you can hit big anywhere in the draft, despite how weak or strong it can be labeled.

You can find guys you just have to trust your scouting which the Magic now have for the first time in um ever. I trust what the front office will do no matter the perception of the draft. Although I do hope we get McClemore.

A lot of one and done 19 year olds in this draft (including Harkless) so it will be tough to judge it for a few more years when all the kids are actually old enough to have a clue.

Nicholson though was a great pick up at #19 and probably will always be the 3rd or 4th best big taken in it.
