    A lot of experts say this will be a weak draft class, comparable to 2000's. Do you think it will be closer to 2003 or 2000?

    A lot of GM's and teams are finding out that this draft is not as weak as was earlier thought.

    Yes, this is a weak draft. The more you look at the players available and compare them to each other, the less bad this class looks. Next summer's players will probably nuke this bunch.

    No this draft has no franchise changing players, but it is deep with quality rotation guys.

    This draft looks like it'll end up with a bunch of not-quite star players who will end up with 7-10 year careers. Might not have too many superstars, but probably won't have all that many out-right busts like Fizer, either.

    Full of NBA players, but thats it. Nothing more.

    Next year's draft is off the charts.

    This draft brings good quality players that can help a team. Good role players

    I think it's a great draft for PGs. I also think Valanciunas is a franchise center. Also, I think at least one of the wings will be a star. And of course, it's a great draft for depth, as some others have mentioned.

    I'd really like to see Morey move up to #4 to grab Valanciunas.
