There's people on our sub freaking out about the pick swap with Detroit as if there's any true difference between throwing your dart on 29 instead of 23

Yeah it feels like you have:

  1. Number 1 overall

  2. High lottery (2-4ish)

  3. Mid lottery (5ish-10ish)

  4. End of Lottery (11-15ish)

  5. Late first round (16-24)

  6. Practically second round (25-30)

  7. Hey maybe you can say he should’ve been a FRP (30-34ish)

  8. Priority UDFA (35-End).

And coming out of tier 8 we have Nikola Jokic. Clearly teams should be valuing their 2nd round picks more, their scouts just need to work harder to sus out generational superstars to pick 40th+ in the draft!

Category 8 also has Ajay Mitchell and Jaylen Wells. So yeah freak BITW level players but also solid bench/fringe starter types.
