He fits what the NBA needs from a modern big today. Legit center size, can pass, move without the ball, get steals and play team d, rebound, and play hard. 

Hes 6'll but His wingspan is shorter than OO, Cam, and Hunter by a couple of inches.

You do realize what this means? If I hit on Murphy this year that’s two years in a row cuz I got Okongwu last year and thus I’m the master pupil of inner Schlenkdome and thus get all the gold in the land.

A bit of draft realism here:  in 2010, the 76ers took Evan Turner #2 overall.   There is no such thing as a sure thing.

[thecampster]

In 2009 Earl Clark was chosen 14th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He went on to average 3.0 points in his NBA career.

[thecampster]

2016 saw all 3 of these players taken in the first 13 picks.

#4 Dragan Bender, Phoenix Suns

#8 Marquese Chriss, Phoenix Suns

#13 Georgios Papagiannis, Sacramento Kings

[thecampster]

in 2014, 

Andrew Wiggins went #1 overall to Cleveland

Also drafted that year

Dante Exum #5

Doug McDermott #11.

2013 ... Cleveland wins again....#1 Anthony Bennett.

The list goes on and on for those sure they're choosing the right player in the draft.

Sheesh.  I bet you're great at parties, thecamp.

You know it's more about the selector than the selected..  .

Having been a 19-20 year old male myself, I'm not huge on betting on them. Every so often, I see someone I'm enthusiastic about (Trae or RJ Barrett for example) and I'll go out there and pine for. I think the last draft night person I wanted that I wasn't right on was Frank Kaminsky. He's been a player in the league but I really thought he'd be better. But math proves out right most of the time.

 

There are 15 roster slots per team in the NBA and realistically 10 rotation players. 30 teams, that's about 300 rotation players in the NBA. The average rotation player stays in the league 10  years (most players are out by the end of their rookie deal). That means 30 rotation level players per year drafted out of 60. You are already 50/50 on finding a rotation guy. of those rotation guys, 1/2 are starters. Of those starters, 2-3 are star quality. It means that in an average draft class there are 4-6 star caliber players, maybe 1 superstar.

During the great Bagley vs JJJ debate of 2018, KB and I made the point that the most important investment a team can make is scouting. That finding that 1 star that falls out of the lottery is your most important goal. We've done pretty well the last few years finding rotation guys, stars.  But draft night is a rough night for most teams. Just keeping it real.

I mean, you're not wrong.  I just think most people, deep down, understand all this.  Just wanna party anyway.
