    D'Angelo Russell - All-Star
    Jaylen Brown - All-NBA
    Kris Dunn - injury bust
    Lonzo Ball - starting-caliber
    Markelle Fultz - looked like a bust, but has turned it around, now looks starting-caliber

    Luka Doncic - All-NBA
    Trae Young - All-NBA
    Ja Morant - All-NBA

    If you come into the NBA as a 5th pick or better, no matter what position play, you should be an elite player! There is just so much technology and scouting available now that you'd really have to be incompetent to screw the pooch! Like your list shows, they are at a minimum starting caliber players with potential to be ALL NBA! I' like most was enamored with Wemby, but the basketball gods (Silver) has spoken and we were deemed 4th pick worthy...life goes on! :(

    In Morey Udoka we Trust! :confused:

    Go Rockets!!!
