Nice listing them all twice. So in short youu have 6 names.
This draft has:
Wiggins
Parker
Gordon
Embiid
Randle
Exum
Smart
Vonleah
All of which are expect to blow up and have all-star potential. 2-4 of which are expect to blow up and have superstar potential. That doesn't even include players like Saric and Hood either. Point is that this could be like the 2003 draft that brought in Lebron, Wade, Bosh and Melo. You need that top pick to get one of those 2-4 I mentioned (Embiid, Parker, Wiggins, Randle/Exum).
Read the first line of the post you quoted. I said 5 all stars and one all nba'r right up front, so yes, 6 names, good counting there stoked.
You go on to name 8 guys who may or may not succeed. Historically, chances are more likely that half of them will not be as good as advertised.
My biggest reservation is that I've now had 3 people tell me there is going to be 8-10 all stars come out of this draft. 2003, known as one of the best drafts ever.. Had 8 all stars. And yes, 5 of The 8 were picked in the first 6 picks, I get that draft position matters, I really do.
I'm all for swinging for the fences and getting a really high pick, as naturally it increases your chances of being able to pick who you want. But clearly we are not going to have a top 3 pick barring some miracle. So why am I going to obsess about it? If the draft is really as good as you all claim it to be, then we will be just fine at 4-6, right?
Anyway, I'm Just having a hard time buying into the hype that the rest of you have. I want to, and I really hope we get a star, seriously, but I wouldn't be surprised if this draft class is more lackluster than predicted,
