Lots of youth near the top. All 18-19-20 years old

Saddiq at 21 falls to us because he kind of already is what he is while people are still trying to figure out what Vassell and Hayes can be.

This is a draft where if you want the superstar, you have to go for the young kid with promise rather than an older player who will at best be a strong starter (like Bey). Its the same thing that happened with Josh Howard before his inevitable unraveling-- in a less than the stellar draft, teams treat the first round like the second and shoot for the youngest, highest-ceiling guys while solid players who are older drop.

In the Ringer's mock Saddiq goes #16 to the Blazers. We get Josh Green at #18 with Bane, Lewis, Anthony, and Maxey on the board.
