LeFraud strikes again, showcasing perfectly how the NBA draft has become an utter joke. Remember when being drafted meant you were elite? Nowadays, it seems any overhyped amateur with below average stats can waltz right in without breaking a sweat. What happened to the days when the draft was about genuine talent and hard work? Thanks a lot, Silver. You've really outdone yourself. It's almost like you handpicked the most underwhelming players just to see how far the league could be brought down. Truly, this has been an incredible effort in redefining "prestigious." Well done!
