Here are the "consensus" top 8 picks in the 2018 NBA draft:
Statistically, even a perceived strong draft like this one, two of these guys will very likely be busts. Two more won't be busts but will be disappointments. Two will be solid to good starters and two will be all-star to superstar level players. Could none of them bust? Sure. Could four of them be all-stars? Sure. But that's not the game we're playing. Then again, if you really want to change the number of guys you put in the different categories I'm not going to stop you.
Slot the 8 players into those four categories and we can track during the season (and even the years to follow) to see who tabbed guys correctly.
All-star to super star players:
Solid to good starters:
Disappointments:
Busts:
- DeAndre Ayton
- Luka Doncic
- Marvin Bagley III
- Mo Bamba
- Jaren Jackson Jr
- Michael Porter Jr
- Trae Young
- Wendell Carter Jr
