Comparing the 2018 NBA Draft to the 2017 NBA Draft

Now that the collegiate season is well underway, I feel it’s a good time to compare the upcoming 2018 NBA Draft to last year’s 2017 NBA Draft. Similarly to the 2017 draft class, the 2018 class offer lots of franchise-altering players.

I will compare the top-five performers from each position from the 2017 NBA Draft with the top players from the 2018 NBA Draft. Then, I will come to a conclusion on which draft is superior.

Point Guards

2017 Class: Lonzo Ball, Dennis Smith Jr., De’Aaron Fox, Frank Ntilikina, Markelle Fultz

2018 Class: Trae Young, Collin Sexton, Trevon Duval, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Brunson

In my opinion, this isn’t even a question.
