I tend to look at the top of drafts having 3 tiers: Destined for Greatness - Players who, barring injury, are expected to be, at a minimum, multiple time all stars. A lot of drafts don't have these guys, but when they do, teams would never trade the top pick. These are guys like LeBron, Zion, Wemby, etc. Consensus top pick - Players who could be good but, barring injury, are expected to at least be 10 year starters and if they pan out could be all stars. Cade is a good example, and Flagg feels right here. There is usually one of these in any given draft, occasionally a couple. Guys who shouldn't be top picks but because the draft didn't have any guys from the top two tiers, analysts talk themselves into someone being a tier 2 player when they are really tier 3

KurdtLives posted:Nico's gonna want Jrue/Scheierman/1st for Gafford and New England's Tallest Son. Flagg has no options, other than to go play overseas anyway. But if you're Flagg, who cares sign your deal and wait a year before Nico either trades you to someone else (which aside from the Wizards is gonna be better) or gets fired for incompetence. Either way you're not gonna be around him long.

Presumably he will not be playing barefoot, but also presumably, no one else will either. I'm not going to rule out the use of drywall stilts.
