The top five players in the 2018 draft have excellent performances, and bagley is not the other four, but he is not a parallel cargo, and the 22-year-old still has a lot of time to prove himself. In addition to these five, there are many outstanding players such as Carter Jr., Sexton, Mikael Bridges, Alexander, Miles Bridges, Porter Jr., etc., which shows that the success rate of the 2018 draft is very high.
