It’s been called the deepest NBA Draft class since LeBron James entered the league in 2003 alongside Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. That’s a lot to live up to, but there was enough belief in the quality of the top of this draft class — AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer — that we suffered through record levels of tanking this year.
Follow here to see how this draft shakes out, with all the picks updated as Adam Silver announces them in Brooklyn.
