From an article by Ricky O'Donnell(?) on SB Nation...
"I think I’ve settled in to believing this class is slightly stronger than the average draft class overall, in part because Cooper Flagg is stronger than the average No. 1 overall pick. After so many defections over the last few days, though, there’s no doubt this draft is underwhelming after the first 20 or 25 picks."
Unless it's a high pick, trading high performing talent like PJ or Gaff (or AD?) for draft capital in this year's draft doesn't look like a winner.
Also sounds like some 2nd round talent will be getting guaranteed money.
