I'm not entirely sure what to think of him yet, I'm not as big on him as some people but he'll have lots of chances to show me what he can do. He's going to be in the same position as Ben Simmons last year pretty much.

Right now I have him as my #3 PG behind Dennis Smith and Ntilikina but it could change quick if he plays well.

Too early in the season. I see one of the following: Malik Monk, Jayson Tatum, Harry Giles, or Bam Adebayo displacing him for that number one spot.

Dennis Smith is also out of contention. He is a PG and no team is going to waste the number one pick on a PG. when was the last time a PG was selected as the first overall? You don't even need a true PG in today's positionless NBA, with more big men facilitating and having more assists than their PGs.

One every 10 years.

Hype out of high school helped him in year without many standout talents but a lot of them turned out to be good NBA players. How many games did he play at Duke? I doubt he played 10 games.
John Wall selected #1 the year before that

Malik Monk at the #1 spot?:patrice: no Josh Jackson? or at least Ball?I don't see it.

As far as wasting the number 1 on point guards, 3 of the best 5-7 players in the league right now are point guards. so....

And which of them is a true hybrid PG?

Curry? He was a SG at Davidson and GSW don't really play a true point, based on their style.

James Harden? He was drafted as a SG and only developed into a PG three seasons ago.

Only Westbrook was drafted as a PG.
