Just seems like a super weak draft to me. Wall went first and we all know what ended up happening there but fair enough. #2 was Evan Turner - which if I think really hard I vaguely remember the name - but my main thought is “who?”
There were plenty of good role players who would shine from time to time further down the draft but 13 years later it’s no surprise they’re all gone. Prospects who could do better are always rated higher than known mid-tier players after several years in the league.
I did a little more digging and Wall, Cousins, George & Hayward are the only players from the 2010 draft to ever get a single all star nod. 9 out of the 60 never played a single NBA game. I’m going with the idea that it was just not a great year for the draft.
Agreed, and I think it’s compounded by how deep the previous two draft classes were. There was no shortage of young talent to build around by the time the 2010 class came in
