Two points:
1) Russ Smith jumped into the bottom of the ladder at #10. Since the writers go into this with the pre-conceived notion that early draft picks (including Nerlins) will be the best, it is a real accomplishment for pick #47 to crack that top ten. Disclaimer: Summer League performance is not a reliable indicator of future success. Actual results may vary....
2) Check out how bad most of the top draft picks looked. A few guys out of the top 14 got good reviews, but most were disappointing.
Listen up you draft pick hogs, and stop bashing Dell for turning our crap-shoot top 10 picks into proven useful players plus late draft picks on reasonable salaries.
