WHAT HAPPENED To The 2013 NBA Draft?

[@therealneal3034]

With respect to Steven Adams, imagine if OKC happened to pick Giannis. 😂

[@johnl8634]

Considering Giannis was a multi year project and OKC was busy contending with KD and Westbrook, it’s possible Giannis might have turned into a “what if” story.

[@samueljames7781]

@@johnl8634 yh true Gianis was SG/SF coming to the nba and the Milwaukee bucks had no SF so they had to play Gianis cuz they had less players at his position…so he actually had a chance to play with lots of minutes

[@tj5180]

​@@johnl8634 depends how they would have used him. He would've been in the bench and probably start when kd left in 2016. He was raw as a player

[@Tummbly]

I was just thinking about that, but it probably wouldn’t have happened

[@roger9066]

In my opinion he probably would’ve been limited to a role player which probably would’ve limited his potential just like when Harden was their 6th man and when Sabonis was forced to be a stretch four. KD and Russ were ball dominant which is why a player like Ibaka fit their scheme.

[@alphabah6094]

Explain Detroit's situation then... Matter of fact, look at who they've drafted post-2016 and who they've passed on

[@AJvideoshare]

So redraft is probably something like: 1. Giannis 2. Gobert 3. Oladipo 4. CJ McCollum 5. Steven Adams 6. KCP 7. Hardaway Jr. 8. MCW 9. Schröder 10. Nerlens Noel

[@Shortballa11]

Oladipo had a higher peak bt i might go CJ McCollum because of consistent success and still adding to it

[@montanacorp]

oladipo got injured, thats bad

[@holdmyweight3597]

@Shortballa11 If Ola gets drafted and plays for a better organization maybe he never gets injured. He’s been an all star, CJ has not

[@Shortballa11]

@@holdmyweight3597right bt we are basing it on what actually happened. and its not like he just got injured once, he been injured all the time. Also he only had one peak season of 23ppg. CJ has had 8 seasons of 20ppg or more and dominated playoff series. Im even more convinced im rocking with CJ. Also the fact Vic was an all star and CJ hasnt is only because of the conferences they are in. East always been easier

[@speachless88]

Ben McLemore has a flaw NO ONE points out. He has no acceleration. Once he committed to moving he was fast, but he couldn't pass, dribble, create his own shot, or defend well. That left him with 2 options... cutting to the basket, and Standstill shooting. He did both at an acceptable clip, but not enough to be a starting asset.

[@abw1317]

[@bobharley1]

@@mikieedwards28 2014 Russ was mostly recovered by the playoffs, that was their best year to take advantage of the declining Heat and win. They just got sloppy near the end. Maybe you could also count Ibaka getting hurt during the Clippers screwing them over as they lost their best defender on Tim Duncan. Multiple times they almost exited early due to sloppy play and poor coaching. Reggie Jackson single handedly saved them from being eliminated by the Grizzlies plus a Zbo suspension. Clippers series had way too many close games that could've gone either way. In the WCF KD failed to execute and at times Westbrook looked like the best player on the floor. Their failure was more because they couldnt close out rather than Russ being hurt.

[@rome8180]

"Wasn't a great shooter" is not an accurate statement for Oladipo. He had a ridiculously efficient junior season at Indiana, including shooting 44% from three. The volume was low, but he was also incredibly efficient on 2pt jump shots. It was actually his shooting improvements that propelled him to the top of the draft.

I actually mocked Anthony Bennett to the Cavs. People keep saying he was a shocking pick but don't realize he had a build similar to LeBron and the team probably felt he could develop into a poor mans lebron over time. Obviously this proved incorrect but his pick actually makes sense through this lense

[@ikedatike2533]

I kind of get this sense, but at the same time this was the first draft I've actually followed up until this point 10 years ago and even I understood that. Anthony Bennett was no good. Even the GM didn't even want him because he knew he had no good work ethic

[@chunky9791]

From 2013 till now imagine Giannis, Embiid, Devin Booker, Brandon Ingram, Jason Tatum, Mikal Bridges, Jordan Poole, & Tyrese Maxey IF sixers just draft correctly!!! 2 mvps w 2 top 5 mvp conv players all on the same team.

[@Raptorsified]

I honestly think MCW was drafted a decade too early. We've seen a good frame and high motor can get you places not just defensively. Offenses are now more fluid than swinging the ball around the 3 pt line until someone's open, jokic has made it so you must do that or you will lose. A 6'6 pg who doesn't demand the ball and can make the right pass or cut is pretty good in today's game.
