I mean Jordan obviously wasn't considered a lock either. Somenoe ending up as a hall of famer, or the best ever, doesn't mean they were considered locks.

Unless it’s a Shaquel O’Neal, a David Robinson, Patrick Ewing. Even a LeBron james was a straight out from high school who could’ve busted. Zion can’t even get healthy enough. Nobody knows.

I would say Zion was considered a lock. Locks are almost always unanimous #1s. Doesn't mean being considered a lock ensures you are one. It's just pretty tough to argue players that had multiple selections in front of them were considered sure things.

IMO, Hendricks is nowhere near as fluid. He looks more like Patrick Williams. Mechanical to a fault. But, I’ll try to watch more to see if my opinion changes.

Fair. He plays more like a role player from my limited viewing whereas Jarace seems more comfortable with the ball in his hand, which is more of what we need.

In the 80s and half of the 90s, there were 3-5 All Stars in every draft. It was a different time, with more complete players entering the league, so, yes, you could be a lock at 3 or 4.
