Quote:
The first five picks of the 2018 draft proved predictive in naming the 2019 All-Rookie first team, announced by the NBA on Tuesday.

Top overall pick Deandre Ayton of the Phoenix Suns was joined by the Sacramento Kings' Marvin Bagley III (No. 2), Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic (No. 3), Memphis Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson Jr. (No. 4) and Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young (No. 5) on the first team.


Quote:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Collin Sexton, Landry Shamet, Mitchell Robinson and Kevin Huerter were named to the second team.

This was the best draft since 2015. Without a doubt.

was looking at which rookies played the most minutes....Sexton was #1, and Trae Young was #2....surprised that Mikal Bridges was #3. Wagner was 30th in minutes, Svi was 31st, and Bonga was 42nd.

Some very good value picks in this draft were Mitchell Robinson (36th), Landry Shamet (26th), Jalen Brunson (33rd), Rodions Kurucs (40th), Bruce Brown (42nd) and De'Anthony Melton (46th). We could have selected any of these guys @ #25, and added a 2nd from anyone taken after #39.
