Ayton
Doncic 3 allstar, 3 all NBA 1st
Jackson 1 all defense 1st
Young 2 allstar, 1 all NBA 3rd
Mikal Bridges 1 all defense 1st
SGA
Miles Bridges
Robert Williams 1 all defense 2nd
Would pick all of them over Brunson. Add Sexton and MPJ. Just looking at the numbers they had better seasons than Brunson but both cannot stay healthy. Would take Brunson over Anfernee Simmons. Both had breakout seasons but Brunson is more consistent.
Depth is even better than top level. Compared to other draft classes the list of solid role players is nearly endless.
Bamba
WCJ
DiVincenzo
Walker IV
Huerter
Grayson Allen
Shamet
Graham
Mitchell Robinson
Trent JR
Bruce Brown
Melton
Milton
Holiday
All of them are starting or at least playing 20+ minutes. Late first / early second round was stacked.
I read stuff like this (which I agree with) and can't help but feel bad for Kings fans. All that available talent, the #2 pick, and they still end up missing.
