Comical post but I'll play along
1995 - KG was thought of a high risk straight out of high school draft pick
1997 - Keith Van Horn was a highly touted prospect. T-Mac another high risk straight out of high school draft pick. Billups was a diamond in the rough
1998 - I'll give you this one, even though Dirk was a foreign unknown coming into the draft
2001 - Arenas was a diamond in the rough, Tony Parker a foreign semi-unknown
2002 - I'll give you this one
2006 - Thabo, Rondo, and Lowry were all projected to be of similar star power/value
2007 - Laughable, Marc Gasol was an unknown outside of being Pau Gasol's brother
2008 - I'll give you this one
2010 - I'll give you this one
2011 - Laughable
2013 - Giannis was a high risk foreign unknown
2015 - I'll give you this one
2016 - Ben Simmons was highly touted and thought of as a no brainer. Jaylen was a diamond in the rough
2017 - I'll give you this one. Even though Fultz was a highly touted prospect
2018 - Proof you don't watch the NBA lol
