 Its easy to argue the overall talent depth, superstar potential, and value of the international prospects in this draft but one thing is for certain. This is a very classy group of prospects.

Other then Exum not working out for teams like Boston on which is probally because he has a Boston or LA promise, Saric demanding a lottery promise or else he pulls out (which I have no problem with I think people are just nitpicking at it), and certain players skipping different combine activities which is normal and usually influenced by agents all prospects have been very humble.

We rarely see such professional Top 5 prospects especially in deep drafts.

 Yeah, Jabari Parker and Julius Randle just seem like old souls.  Much more mature than most one-and-dones I’ve ever seen, plus their game on the court seems very NBA-ready, for both of those guys.

 Last year’s class must have been the most humble people of all time based on your criteria.

It’s not just about the criteria he put forth, it’s about what we see out of these guys on and off the court.  The main criteria he’s giving is exhibiting humility and it’s hard to argue that most of the guys at the top of this class lack humility.  We can look at other lottery crops, especially of the one-and-done era, and see lots of guys a little too confident in their skills and ready to get in the league so they can get paid.  When you look at this class, you see a lot of guys who have a lot to be big-headed about, but just by the way that they carry themselves, especially guys like Parker and Randle and Embiid and Wiggins etc, etc, and they certainly appear to be humble.

Of course last year’s class was humble, they didn’t have much talent to brag about…

 How can you coment on someone’s humility "off the court" when you’ve never met them? For all you really know, Jabari could be a huge a**hole

As in based on their interviews and press conferences, the way they handled the recruiting process, the way they handled the draft process, and what all their coaches and teammates and other coaches and opposing players say about them.  It’s the 21st century.  These guys don’t live in a bubble.
