It all depends on the draft. Dylan Harper averages just above 20 mpg, and selected at #2. but we have to account for who is in front of him on that SA team. He might have gotten more minutes on a really bad team. A Mavs team may offer enough minutes for a draft pick at that spot, but I don't feel particularly excited about the options available there at #8.
I personally think we may be evaluating this draft too high. I just don't feel the difference between say 8 and 20 like some others here do. It's weighted heavily as a great draft because of the top 4 players. I'm not sure it's much different after that.
