As much fun as all this analysis has been, the real fun will start when we find out exactly how legendary this draft is. I suspect it will look more like the underrated 1985 draft than anything. That was a deep draft featured a franchise center in Patrick Ewing and 9 other all-stars including Karl Malone. I feel the 2014 edition will be heavy on all-stars as well. The question is who are the future all-stars? This list is my best guess from most likely to least likely.
