    Default 2009 NBA was considered to be a very weak draft and now 2013 draft is considered weak

    I remember reading many articles saying how weak the 2009 draft was. This is one exemple: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...2009-nba-draft

    Looking back, the draft was actually very good.
    Blake Griffin
    James Harden
    Steph Curry
    Ricky Rubio
    Ty Lawson
    Bradon Jennings
    Demar Derozan
    Taj Gibson
    etc.

    Now, 2013 draft is also considered very weak. Will the same thing happen this year?

    I can't believe people still use Bleacher Report as a source

    Nobody said 09 was a weak draft class prior to the draft

    Most 2009 NBA draft prospects are scrubs ...

    If we draft Curry i will crucify Walsh. Curry is a volume shooter and won't get to put up 20 shots like he did in college. Will never be Mo because he's built like a little girl and doesn't have the quickness to get to the rim and finish.
    I'd much rather have Flynn.

    Well, there was supposed to be this massive drop off after Griffin. It's why Memphis took Thabeet.

    Ugh, could you imagine if Memphis had James Harden right now?

    I don't reccount many saying that the '09 draft was weak. People were saying it was a strong draft for PGs. I know the '11 draft was downplayed to be very weak after Kyrie.

    I actually remember people arguing that this class wasn't weak.

    The only recent "weak draft" that I can recall has been 11, and we can all agree it was weak
