On the point
Seventyniner and I was making in the Keldon thread, it's funny looking at the 2011 NBA draft in retrospect. Davis Bertans was drafted #42 and he has outlasted most of the players in the first round (including the lottery). He would probably be taken in the mid first round if there was a re-draft.
It's similar to my comment about Quinndary (2019 2nd round draft pick) possibly being better than half the point guards in the lottery of the upcoming 2020 NBA draft. It's considered blasphemous and met with a dismissive at ude (ahem
timvp) like it could never be within the realm of possibility. The reality is that it happens quite a bit. It's like if I had said right before the 2012 NBA draft that Bertans will be better than half of the PFs in the lottery. And let's look.... Hmm, yup. He's better than Thomas Robinson, Henson, Harkless.
People need to stop looking at draft position.
