I’m not the sports buff that my sons are, but they talk frequently about the different drafts, including NBA and also NFL. Not only are they following the drafts themselves, they are also involved with the fantasy sports leagues. Although they haven’t talked about the 1984 draft (they were born after that) they have talked about a couple of the players from it. It seems teams are always hunting for the next Jordan or Barkley.
I found it interesting that you mention that teams often find misses, as well as hits, in the draft. I guess we don’t always think about how a great college player may just not make it in the pros. I’m sure the teams are acutely aware, though.
Thanks for the article. I’m going to share with my sports-loving sons and get their opinions, too!
Hi
I appreciate your comments.
The 1984 NBA Draft has become a hot talking point in recent months with the release of The Last Dance, Chicago Bulls Series.
It still remains one of the great NBA Drafts of All-Time with the greatest player of All-Time being apart it. It is always hard to nail the pick, but some of the top picks in NBA Drafts have failed to love up to expectations.
Cheers
