okay, well here is every guard (not including hybrids and g/fs) taken in the top 7 in the last ten years, since the 98 draft:
Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Devin Harris, Ben Gordon, Ray Felton, Bradnon Roy, Dwyane Wade, Mike Conley, Kirk Hinrich, Jay Williams, Dejuan Wagner, Jason Richardson, Steve Francis, Baron Davis, Rip Hamilton, Mike Bibby, Jason Williams.
that's 8 all-star level players: Paul, Deron, Roy, Wade, Baron, Francis, Hamilton, Bibby
a bunch of capable starters: Harris, Felton, Hinrich, Richardson, Jason Williams, Ben Gordon
jury is out on: Conley
one major injury: jay williams
one indisputable bust: Wagner
the drafts people think of as bust drafts, like 2000, had very few guards go up top. the draft people thinking of as having good value had lots of guards. this is a guard heavy draft. it will most likely have very good value. guard game from college to nba transfers better than the big man game. it's easier to predict what a guy will do.
big guys are so much harder to predict - of course, they're more often the bigger difference makers.
the top of this draft is heavy in guards, hopefully we can get one of the good ones.
