Both the Magic and the Rockets had top 5 picks, yet the best player drafted by each team were lower lottery picks (alien.top)

The Magic picks Suggs 5th overall, yet Franz is clearly the much better player and was picked later.

The Rockets also drafted in the top 5, with Jalen Green going 2nd overall. Sengun was drafted later in that same draft, and is the better player of the two.

Just thought it was a funny coincidence and certainly not something anyone would've expected post draft especially considering the hype these 2 received

If you recall, Barnes being taken over Suggs was unheard of at the time.. everyone at the time thought Suggs was a steal at 5

Leading up to the draft sure, but by draft night it was basically a sure thing Barnes was going 4th.
