Predicting Which 2014-15 NBA Rookies Will Be Studs or Duds

September 23rd, 2014 by Jonathan Wasserman Leave a reply »
This 2014 NBA draft class has had all kinds of wacky expectations. But it seems naive to think each prospect will pan out. 

I went ahead and predicted the studs from the duds—the guys we expect to live up to the hype versus those set up to disappoint. 

For the duds, we only went with guys taken in the lottery. Prospects like Tyler Ennis and James Young will probably spend most of their time on the bench or in the D-League next season. To label them duds would be unfair. 

And these predictions are only taking the 2014-15 season into account—not each prospect's career outlook. Just because they're labeled a dud as a rookie doesn't mean they can't transform into a stud over time. 

High-profile prospects not listed ultimately fell between stud and dud.
