You didn't specify NBA Draft hits and misses. If you bring up draft misses with me, my brain goes straight to the Raiders.
For basketball, Giannis was also a huge hit. Ayton and Bagley were huge whiffs in 2018 with Luka and Trae on the board.
Bagley. Ouch. At least Ayton looked liked he was going to be something before dropping off.

How many titles would Steph, Klay, Draymond, Luka, and KD have won?
reply
All.

Even 2019?

That's interesting because KD got hurt. Would Luka have been enough of a factor in his first playoffs to overcome the KD loss? Hmmm tough one.
reply
Would he have lightened the load enough that KD stays healthy?
Also, he did have one of the best rookie seasons ever, so he might have been a better option than Alfonso McKinnie.

It's interesting. This is why we need AIs that can do billions of simulations on whatever variables we choose, aggregate it all and present a game or series based on the data it has collected. I can't see a higher use case for AI.
