nerlens noel was the 6th overall pick. Embiid was the 3rd overall pick, not the 30th pick. So i dont see your point. You wont find them late
yea you named some good players. But its very rare to find players like green when youre picking that late. Otherwise teams would just trade down all the time if they could get someone like green or butler. 2013 draft was just awful
There just isnt enough talent to sustain 30 teams. 5 teams from the west have made it to the finals since 1999. Youre telling me teams couldnt draft or develop players all those years? product is bad now, but itll be even worse with expansion so fukk that
Make up your mind, you tried to act like the Sixers don't have talent when they do, now your point is that it's rare to find talent outside the lottery? You're out of your element here, it's not rare to find talented players late in the draft, it's why teams place so much value in late first rounders now.I named some good players? Bruh I named all-stars, a all-nba first teamer and gold medalists
The 2013 draft wasn't awful, you clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about especially since the 2013 draft is like a shining example of finding players outside the top 10
Giannis Antetokounmpo 15th
Dennis Schroeder 17th
Rudy Gobert 27th
Andre Roberson 26th
Allen Crabbe 31st
You have a potential superstar taken 15th, a starting PG, a potential DPOY, an elite defender and a high value rotational player. The talent pool for basketball on a global scale can support 30 teams, hence every team now having 1-2 good players.
