You can revisit and do a redraft for a particular draft class every year and come up with a new order.
At some points this type of thing can become ridiculous.
This was a solid draft with some good depth, and certain players will rise and fall as their careers progress.
How many teams passed on Portis for this reason or that? A few years from now some of you will be talking about this or that player being passed over and how they were a "steal."
Where is all the talk now about Winslow, the "steal" of draft night? Good player who does a lot of things, but hardly a "steal" at this point. Same is true of Mudiay and Stanley Johnson.
Can things change down the road...sure, but who knows which players will emerge as the "best" players of a draft?
I was higher on Portis than most, but by the end of the college season, I expected him to be in the 10-20 range, and more likely in the middle teens and later.
Briggs even forgot to mention him in his final mock draft, although he did indicate his mistake, saying there was no way he would have left him out of the top 25 when he realized he had forgotten to include him.

I flipped out Turner and kaminsky--had Turner 6 and Kaminsky 8 and flip flopped them 1 more time would put turner top 3 with a redo. Was somewhat right on Justice Winslow dropping--had Stanley Johnson to low. Actually had Grant 19. According to the mock I laid out taking BPA per position of need we would had
4 Porzingis
19 Andersen
35 Powell
One omission looking back--forgot Bobby Portis on the last cut--no way I wouldve left him out of the top 25.
That's "top 25," not "top 5," by the way.
Have not played 40 games into the season and we seem to be reevaluating the draft every 10 games, or so.
Kind of crazy.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
