I don't know why posters are making a big deal of steph's pick. Like he said in the interview, he drafted his selection with team balance in mind i.e drafting by position rather than strictly by names.
Shooting guard/point guard- harden
Power forward - giannis
Centre- embiid
Shooting guard- derozan
Thats certainly more balanced than just hoarding big men in the team like Lebron did.
Lebron starting 5 is better but not by much. Harden and steph are both top 5 players in the league easily, giannis is arguably the best player in his position in the league,embiid is a top 3 big man and derozan is an mvp candidate that can flat out score.
The gap is not as big as most posters are making it
