Beyond the three lottery PGs, this draft class also happened to have a number of quality PGs buried in the late-teens/early-20s of the draft, namely Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson, Darren Collison and Eric Maynor. Already, Evans, Curry, Jennings, Holiday and Collison will enter the season with the starting role of their respective teams; that means 1/6 of the NBA's teams will be led by this draft class already.
Evans, the Rookie of the Year, should enter this season as the tentative favorite, but Curry's Team USA experience gives him a unique advantage in the race. Considering the upgrades to Jennings' Bucks team, it'd be foolish to count him out, and with Darren Collison getting a fresh opportunity in Indiana to pair alongside All-Star Danny Granger, he could officially become the surprise of the class this coming season.
