WHAT HAPPENED To The 2018 NBA Draft? 

I forgot about the suit shorts

and the Kings still couldnt get it right.

@@alexnguyen1284Bagley looked like a cant miss prospect imo , not to be taken above Luka but Bagley was nice asl at Duke , that 21/11 with fluidity at 6’11 , the defense was bad but we all knew he had the tools and athleticism to fix it but it jus never clicked for him

@@moneyman4740 a big man that plays center but cant defend even at the collegiate level is pretty much a huge red flag to NOT draft them that high. If he cant defend at the college level, he definitely cant defend at the nba level. Physically he has the all the tools but dude's basketball IQ is pretty low hence his defense is also terrible.

@@moneyman4740sucks that he got drafted to the kings, developed him really horribly. Also bagley is a dude who gets injured.. like a lot. Really unlucky how his career turned up for him, especially in a place thats big-abundant in detroit playing a position he shouldnt be playing

Zhaire smith, Jerome Robinson and chandler Hutchinson are all out of the league, that’s 3

the US media. Here in Europe we were confused to not see him as consensus #1 (although we don't really watch NCAA)

@@matteogualino2216 Ayton had some solid stats in the first few years

Gary Trent Jr too

ratio

Hornets have always fucked up during the draft. As a hornets fan, I die every time the draft happens. Just a quick google and you can see all the potential stars we could of had.

​@@gnoix14622023 is the same way. Guaranteed they bumbled it again.

Thug💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

⁠@@gnoix1462Possibly the best player they could’ve had but didn’t get was Chris Paul in 2005 when they were the Bobcats. They had the pick right after Paul was taken, and New Orleans actually offered to trade the pick for both of Charlotte’s first rounders in 2005. The guys Charlotte picked from that draft instead of Chris Paul ended up being Raymond Felton and Shawn May.

The Father - Son duo

That would’ve been the Luka Booker Special right there 🔥💯!

But it gave you a Luka-Booker Rivalry is better.

Booker would be out coz if that happened Luka would be the top dog.They would have to choose who to keep just like what the Mavs did when Dennis Smith Jr was on the Mavs with Luka.

Nah, I bet they'd try to get the other guy off the team asap 😂. Their personalities clash. Book is more of a passive agressive douche and Luka has anger management issues.

I prefer 2017 class simply because it was sooo damn deep. 2018 is very top-heavy with Doncic and SGA but after another 3-4 all-stars there isn't much potential there for stars. 2017 had Tatum, Spida, Markannen, Bam but then another 10 NBA starter guys

​@@mrvk39trae Young?

I would even argue that it’s the best. It’s much better than the legendary 2003 draft and on par or greater than the 1984 draft

@@viciousPandaYTGaming maybe in 3-5 years it will be the greatest draft ever when players got more accolades and stuffs

@@gapos8212 true but I just feel like this draft having 10+ all stars is a lot

In term of depth, this is the greatest draft class of all time.

@@viciousPandaYTGamingyou are insane. It’s 5 years in. The 84 draft produced 4 HOF’ers. Who do you have as a HOF’er in this draft? Luka and maybe Shai?

hey he did say he wasn't gonna be an all-star, which is very hard to do from behind bars

why people like you doesn't understand that sh*t?? i mean he wouldn't be like him today if he stayed in the clippers, they improved coz their the number 1 option like harden when he left okc

Well then they wouldn’t have Leonard or pg

if SGA doesn’t get traded, you don’t get PG which doesn’t get Kawhi to come to LA.

Sga wont develop either. A lot of you forgot how we was mentored by cp3 during those days when they traded wb to rockets for cp3. He develops his mid-range during those days. I think he wouldn't turn great if the trade didnt happen.

Better than 84, 03 and 09? Nah.

​@@claytron3000wait until the players are retired. 2018 will be best ever

Think of it like this...he had gone where it made sense to grow and do his thang! Steph Curry was the most exciting prospect in college shooting the ball. He could've been forked over for Monte Ellis and history would not be the same! Right place and right opportunity equal destiny.

lmao he's 5'11

imagine how disrespectuf it was for luka to go 3rd... Souldve went 1st in all drafts after 2000 except maybe like AD and Bron

Dudes can average 5 points less than him and 5 assists less than him and they’d still pick them over Trae. Trae disrespect gone too far now

He's led the NBA in points and assists in the same season in 2021-2022 and people still didn't care 😂The thing about Trae that no one talks about is he's only 24. He's like a year older than Keegan Murray. Dude has been averaging 27 points and 10 assists since his sophomore year which is just outrageous offensive output. I know he's maybe the worst defender in the league but he's one of the best offensive players easily. His issue is he was just too good too soon. If he was a 20 and 5 guy for say three years and then went up to 23/6 then 25/7 etc then people would be hyping this guy and giving him his flowers. But his second year he got 30 and 9 he's been graded on a prime superstars curve ever since which was always a bit unfair.

wouldn't you rather pick SGA than MPJ? I think that was a clear 2nd best pick in the draft. Id also rather pick Jalen Brunson over MPJ, considering how often he is injured

lol luka is not a hall of famer lmao 😂 not yet at least

@@DaMeaun he is still playing, I meant a future HOF

​@@DaMeaunhe is already an hof, roty & 4x all nba 1st team same amount as Curry more than Iverson

Someone once compared Ayton to Kenyon Martin. Is that accurate?

@@fortynights1513somewhat, i still think k-mart has done more though, he was a key contributor on those nets finals teams

Troy is a beast

definitely! though SGA at 11 was also a steal considering he is an MVP candidate now

18 years later? U sure chief

The American education system

In the words of Urinatingtree 5-6 years ago: “Vlade Divac is acquiring Vlade Divac clones.”

Tell us you’re a casual without telling us you’re a casual

Not really. You still have the Alex Len, Mario h, dragan benders.

@@LordoftheTHOTs you proved exactly my point. Trying to pigeon hole Luka, giannis and jokic with these chumps. Never mind all star, all nba, they are franchise altering all time best players and 3rd, 15th and 41st respectively tells us a story of European players' stock pre 2020

@@lemonlazer5687 right because you knew Gianni’s and jokic were going to be all stars before they were selected, GTFOH. How does that prove you right? I’m telling you that there have been European prospects picked in the top 5 that haven’t panned out.

@@lemonlazer5687yeah but you act like Giannis and Jokić came in league like luka .there came in the league Bench players and got better with hard work and years of training while Luka came in the league a star

C nowadays are scared to have contact. Generation Z =)

Ever since the suns beef he declined

Swap ayton and bridges

@@LeGoatJamesOfAll why??? Ayton doesn't seem to want to play basketball... and is far less impactful. Bridges might not be the #1 on a good team but he can be #2 or #3. Ayton cannot even be #3.

Great point!

Absolutely not. He is a good player to have on your team, nothing more than that.

im a bucks fan and i hate grayson allen (tbf im a uk fan and absolutely hat duke)

@@HoopsWithAceThere’s also Kelly Olynk and going further back, Bruce Bowen as far as dirty players go.

Bridges was an Allstar reserve.. he isn’t a bust lmao you guys act like Lamelo isn’t doing what SGA is, just not as good of a scorer

@@aerodynamicsalamanderlamelo is ten times worse than sga

@@kylecarter954 you see what he’s doing this year? Him and SGA are close. Lamelo can rebound and pass better. But SGA has him on scoring. Defense is debatable. Lamelo stats don’t lie. He’s an all star

Bro was drafted by the spurs one if not the best organization in developing players and here you are saying that he could've blossomed in Atlanta 😂

He nearly missed the lottery because he had back/spinal surgery. He was a prospective top-3 pick until that happened. Y’all just started watching basketball this season or something?

bustttttttttt

@@isaacquiboloy9548 ur wrong but okay he put Frank Nitilkina as a “bench player” bro FRANK IS FCKING TRASH
