After putting 10 players in the first round (7 in the lottery) in 2008, this class remains the strongest at the college level including college's premiere talent Blake Griffin. The classes of 2010 and 2011 were both incredibly deep and talented which have made the current freshmen (2012) and high school senior (2013) classes pale in comparison.
