Basically had a 50% chance to hit a starting quality or better player with their first.
I must admit I looked at the draft pretty closely that year and was fully ok with DSJ. I didn't even look at Adebayo and looking back I wonder why I just bypassed him. I would never have thought of him being such a creator with the ball, I guess. I discounted Mitchell because he looked like a two foot jumper and I thought that would really hurt him at his size. Also Louisville guys had a spotty record under Pitino. That was clearly a miss though.
