Update on rookie class 2013

[Errntknght]

I noticed recently that this class of rookies are getting a surprising amount of burn in their second year. You might remember that this class was regarded as very weak - historically weak some said. One poster said that he didn't think more than three would have any sort of an NBA career. The whole story hasn't unfolded but right now it looks rather like the entire first round may qualify! I expected a dozen or so to make it so this surprises even me.

Two guys, Jean-Charles(28) and Nedovic(30) haven't played at all and I believe they are both still overseas. The other 28 are listed below in draft order. along with the # of games and minutes they've played.

Giannis would easily go #1 overall if the draft was re-did today.

Followed by Gobert then Oladipo, Len, Noel and McLemore.

Olynyk, Burke, Schroder, and MCW all after that.

Mason Plumlee would probably go before the last 4 you mentioned. Shabazz is doing well on the offensive end - he has the highest scoring rate at 21 pts/36 and the second highest pctage on 3's at .413. He's rebounding pretty well for a SF and his turnovers are low. I thought he'd fizzle after all the talk of him being so selfish.

He did. But a year stuck on the bench and in the D League has brought about an attitude change apparently.

Giannis is incredibly overrated, he would certainly not "easily go #1".

At this point Gobert probably goes #1 and Plumlee and Len also in the top 5.
