People keep mentioning the prospects for the future and the value of the pick coming from NY or Denver.
Here's a list of players drafted 8th starting 2014 and for the 11 years following.
Nik Stauskas
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Terence Ross
Brandon Knight
Al-Faroouq Aminu
Jordan Hill
Joe Alexander
Brandan Wright
Rudy Gay
Channing Frye
Rafael Araujo
Rudy is probably the best of the bunch, and that didn't work out so well. I don't see any super stars in the list.
This site has the list of all the previous drafts, you can select a list of all the players picked 1st, 2nd, 6th etc. Their mock draft has TO picking 10th and grabbing Damian Jones PF/C.
Just wanted to point out that a lot of people are putting big expectations on that draft pick. It is not likely to be a world beater.
