If he doesn't get there, that's ok ... even for a number 1 overall pick. He was overhyped and his season was weird but he still put up historic numbers for a freshman while flashing elite perimeter defense. You can't pass on that. The only reason he'll slide out of the top-3 is if it's injury related.
On the other hand, picks 5-9 could go in any order and a case could be made that any one of them would be a top-5 pick in a normal draft (Acuff, Wagler, Flemings, Burries, Brown Jr)
"he still put up historic numbers for a freshman" -- What is this all about? "Historic"? I don't see anything in the year he had to label in that way, and in fact I think many would call his season disappointing. There was an awful lot of meh and nonsense to wade through, if you were a fan of his.
