10. 2019 draft class –
The worst class ever. Not only did you have bust after bust but there are guys that gave you hope for a few years before getting bad before their time. One of the most interesting players ever, Ricky Francis, and one of my favorite players ever, Mikel Atkins, came out of this class so it is not all bad.
Superstars in the class – none. Sorry Ricky but I can't call you a superstar with that ugly defense.
Notable players – AJ Perkins (1), Antonio Ramsey (3), Juno Tremont (6), Rickey Francis (22).
Steals – Rickey Francis (22), Mikel Atkins (17).
Busts – Marvin McCleod (2), Bob Carl (8).
9. 2023 draft class –
This class lacks star power although it has a few very good players such as tanner Thompson, Omar Green and Quinn Barnes. Maybe the worst top 5 ever – Robinson, Petrovin, Green, Mcgee and Cunningham.
Superstars in the class – none.
Notable players – Jason Robinson (1), Omar Green (3), Tanner thompson (8), Quinn Barnes (11), Titus Alexander (19), Vince King (29).

Busts – Lamont Mcgee (4), Kareem Cunningham (5).
8. 2018 draft class –
No true superstar, though a case could be made for Flint. Julian Rooks was one of the best picks ever at the last pick of the second round.
Superstars in the class – none.

Weird year. Lots of busts at the top of the draft. Lots of solid players later on.

5. 2015 draft class –
Interesting draft class. Top 7 picks were all very solid contributors but after that the draft fell off, except of course for QD.
Superstars in the class – Sean O'Mara (2), Quentin Derrick (2nd round – 11). Wiggins was the first pick and always looked like he could turn into a superstar but never did. O'Mara was a beast throughout his career. Derrick might have been the best pick ever. He started off with these ratings - C+ C+ C+ C+ C C. He turned into one of the best pgs in the game.

Busts – Seth Curry (8).
