It’s not quite holding your nose because the crop of prospects stinks, but this NBA draft has more uncertainty than any of the past decade.
Or, at least, the 2013 version, which saw the Cleveland Cavaliers take Anthony Bennett No. 1 and the best player turn out to be an unknown, lanky kid from Greece named Giannis Antetokounmpo — who went 14 picks later.
The draft is routinely a crapshoot. Guaranteeing millions of dollars and putting a 19 or 20-year-old a step closer to generational wealth while handing the keys to a billion-dollar franchise always comes with question marks.
