After watching as much of this rookie class as I did this past NBA regular season, I’m convinced this is the deepest and most talented collection of young talent since 2003.

If you don’t believe me, go back and take a look at a lot of their game performances and tape. You’ll end up as impressed as I was.

Looking back it’s hard to narrow down the elite players in this group because there are guys not in this re-draft that I would certainly bet on becoming significant role players, if not future starters, down the road.
