The initial take on the 2019 NBA Draft was that it was light on superstar talent. The number four pick drew comparisons to Luol Deng, DeMarre Carroll, and Jae Crowder. This is not an ideal situation for teams hoping to turn things around in a hurry.
Though this isn’t to say the draft is a failure. De’Andre Hunter was the Defensive Player of the Year in the ACC and he has all the tools to be an elite 3-and-D wing for a long time. Not everybody can be an All-NBA player and this draft is littered with prospects that can be great role players moving forward.
