Ha. Kobe’s such a tremendous outlier, I felt weird listing his name with the others. But you are correct. He’s the best pick at #13 of all-time to date.

The 13th pick in the NBA draft for some reason tends to have it’s fair share of impact players. Devin Booker, Richard Jefferson, Donovan Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Zach Lavine.

I still don’t know how Duren fell that far in the draft. Probably because of Penny Hardaway’s coaching, but he should have went way higher.

Honestly, not sure why they started Kleber. Lively played well in the preseason. He’s an actual rim protector/rim runner as well. I thought Duke used him poorly last year. The fact they have him learning from Tyson Chandler is also a good thing.
