10 players were drafted before Shai Gilgeous in 2018, AND he was traded on draft night. This draft was so stacked that a lot of teams don't regret missing him, but its fun to look back on as he becomes a rising superstar in the league.

I’m glad you included context of the time in the vid. I always thought Shai should’ve gone a lil higher but if you were there you knew it’d be CRAZY for a team like Sac to take him over Bagley and such

[@Watermelon_Man]

Exactly. This is why I hate when people do “redrafts” and it’s just them ranking the players. They don’t consider the landscape of the team at the time and what positions are already filled. Obviously, there are cases where the teams are so bad they really just need to take the best option, but a lot of times that’s not the case as you get beyond the first 3-5 picks (and sometimes earlier).

[@noyce.]

2018 looking stacked. You got it all, stars, starters, rotation, role and bench. ayton, doncic, jaren, trae, wendell, sexton, mikal, shai, miles, mpj, kevin huerter, anfernee, moritz, robert williams, jalen brunson, gary trent, vanderblit, melton, milton etc

5 seasons in and 2018 is looking very similar to 2011 in terms of depth, both in terms of star power and support pieces. Also, something I just thought of: Shai went 11th in his draft... while Klay Thompson went 11th in his draft. Wild frickin' times.
