Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 2095768, member: 2133"] Most first round picks don't pan out ... What's the standard? They should be all-stars their first season? James Harden didn't even start until he went to Houston and he was the 3rd overall pick in 2009. It took Jimmy Butler 3 years to break into the starting lineup. Durant or Anthony Davis are a once every 3-4 years type player, Curry didn't make an all-star game until he'd been in the league 4-5 years. Karl-Anthony Towns and Devin Booker from 2015 are having pretty good years. Wiggins is doing well for himself. Aaron Gordon just made his way into the starting rotation. Jabari Parker was improving every year despite batting injuries. There will be good players every draft and whiffs every year, too. If just 10 out every top-20 in the draft were "impact" players, after about five years there would only be 5 picks every draft. [/QUOTE]
