This years draft will be easy to call weak.
Austin Daye can't even bench press 185 lbs and gets thrown over the court by Omri Cassipi, no one knows if Blake Griffin will be a star or just your average player, Ricky Rubio doesn't even want to meet with a team besides Sacramento, Jrue Holiday could go at the 4 spot and he didn't even average double digits in college, Hasheem Thabeet could be out in less than 5 years some say, and we have people comparing this draft to 2000's draft where we only had two stars come out—Michael Redd and Hedo Turkoglu.
If you are really excited about this weeks draft, don't be. We will be happy to at least get one all-star out of this draft. Call me pessimistic, but in ten years we will see who was right and wrong!
