As a kid I was always enthralled by the draft. NBA teams rely on the highest level of scouts to evaluate talent . Those scouts still make unforgivable mistakes.
Team’s fortunes can be completely flipped if they make the right selections. The Golden State Warriors acquired Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green all out of the top five. Teams can also cripple their franchise if the wrong selection is made.
Basically, every team is making an incredibly important decision that boils down to nothing more than an educated guess.
