Most Overrated Player: Julius Randle His steal and block rates are exceptionally weak for a lottery PF prospect. Also his team was not great defensively considering the size and athleticism they boasted, and they were not better with Randle on the floor (or so I have heard and instantly believed. Anybody know where to find UK on/off splits?).
Most Underrated Player: Tyler Ennis Ennis is just one of those guys you can tell is gonna be a good player. He's never going to get to a Westbrook level but I think he's a lot better than Zach Lavine. His assist to turnover ratio is really amazing for a PG prospect.
Player that gets on ESPN Top 10 plays a few times but has a really underwhelming career: Zach Lavine
Player picked outside the top 10 that is a top 10 player from this draft his first year: TJ Warren
Best career Wiggins or Parker: Wiggins, with Parker basically being Carlos Boozer that dunks more.
Best career Exum or Smart: Exum but Smart also becomes an allstar.
Guy that everyone calls a bust but then out of nowhere is awesome in 6 years: Noah Vonleh/Aaron Gordon
Best three 2nd round players:
1. Jarnell Stokes 2. KJ McDaniels 3. Nick Johnson
Guy that was passed up that everyone regrets after: Jordan Adams
Best Foreign Player Jusuf Nurkic (I bet Saric never even comes over)
Best Lottery White Guy: Nik Stauskas
Guy that I really like that is most likely to disappoint: Damien Inglis
Guy that I really underrate that is most likely to be awesome: McDermott
You guys can do your own questions or copy mine and give your own responses.

You know I didn't actually include Exum as a foreign player for some reason. I'll change it to best foreign player who's native language isn't English.

Most Overrated Player:
Parker/Exum
Most Underrated Player:
I don't underrate Randle, but everyone had him, if not the best player of this class, a top 3 talent. So I guess Randle gets it here. I'd also say Payton, Capela, and Inglis
Player that gets on ESPN Top 10 plays a few times but has a really underwhelming career:
Aaron Gordon
Player picked outside the top 10 that is a top 10 player from this draft his first year:
TJ Warren (And I think he will be a top 10 player from this draft throughout his career)
Best career Wiggins or Parker:
Wiggins because of LeBron. If Wiggins is traded, its Parker. Parker can average 18-8 his whole career and I think those will be better career numbers than Wiggins puts up. I think Parker's career will also be longer. I don't think these guys are anywhere near LeBron and Melo.
Best career Exum or Smart:
Payton. Then Smart.
Guy that everyone calls a bust but then out of nowhere is awesome in 6 years:
McDermott and Stauskus to an extent. I don't think Stauskus will be bad his first 6 years, but he won't carry the Kings anywhere and then become better. I think McDermott will have a Mike Dunleavy type career.
Best three 2nd round players:
1. Damien Inglis. 2. KJ McDaniels. 3. Vasijilie Micic
Guy that was passed up that everyone regrets after:
Jordan Adams , Kyle Anderson
Best Foreign Player
Damien Inglis
Best Lottery White Guy:
Nik Stauskas
Guy that I really like that is most likely to disappoint:
Nik Stauskus
Guy that I really underrate that is most likely to be awesome:
Jabari Parker

Most Underrated: Noah Vonleh
Player that gets on ESPN Top 10 plays a few times but has a really underwhelming career: Andrew Wiggins
Player picked outside the top 10 that is a top 10 player from this draft his first year: Gary Harris
Best career Wiggins or Parker: Parker, Wiggins will be an elite defender but disappoint on offense while Parker will carry the bucks for many years.
Best career Exum or Smart: Smart, Exum will never shine while Smart will take over the reigns in Boston
Guy that everyone calls a bust but then out of nowhere is awesome in 6 years: Tyler Ennis, he won't have an opportunity with the suns initially but has the skills to succeed.
Best three 2nd round players: 1. Jarnell Stokes 2. K.J. Mcdaniels 3. Spencer Dinwiddie
Guy that was passed up that everyone regrets after: Gary Harris
Best Foreign Player: Dario Saric
Best Lottery White Guy: Stauskus by default
Guy that I really like that is most likely to disappoint: Jordan Adams might not have the athleticism to succeed at the next level even with his great stats.
Guy that I really underrate that is most likely to be awesome: Adreian Payne

The way Charles/Jeremiah dog on Parker is really something else. I'll be the first to admit when I am wrong about him. I think the odds I am wrong about him are 50/50. I like his offensive skill set, I really do. But I just didn't think there was a huge difference between him and Warren or Wiggins and Warren for that matter. Of all the teams Parker could have gone to in the top 5, Milwaukee is probably his best bet. They have the length on defense to hide him. Whether or not he develops defensively will be a big deal. And, I wasn't taking that bet at pick 2. Especially when his work ethic was questioned about an injury in high school. Had Parker gone to the Cavs, it would have been terrible. They can't hide him like the Bucks can. But the problem arises with the Bucks if all their length doesn't develop and they lose minutes. Can Parker be hid then? Will he be better defensively? I am also relying a lot on Giannis, and I wanted Inglis badly in the second round. I wasn't comfortable having those "key" pieces all on one team. That also played in to my reasoning as to why I didn't take Payton. I guess it shows my background of diversifying my assets, getting value picks, and risk vs reward. It is highly likely this bites me in the ass, and I'm ok with it. I'm ok with passing on Parker and looking like a fucking idiot.
