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.

Imo I'm still pretty high on Suggs. His defense is really good though his offense is definitely lacking. But he got energy and a competitive spirit which some players lack (ahem Ben and Ayton).
Warriors drafted kuminga in that draft at 7 and it can certainly be argued that moody has been the better player. For instance, at least moody played in the last playoffs more than kuminga
Those aren’t lottery picks then, if they were selected after the top 5 they were just normal draft picks.
Not necessarily lower lottery picks panning out better than a #5 or greater pick, but similar concepts here with a teams lower pick exceeding the higher pick:
Nuggets selected Doug McDermott with the #11 pick in 2014, whom they traded to the Bulls for the #16 and #19 picks (Nurkic and Gary Harris respectively). They selected Jokic at #41 later in that draft.
In 2016, Bucks selected Thon Maker at #10 and Brogdon at #36.
In 2020, Celtics drafted Nesmith at #14 and Bane at #30, who they traded to Memphis for two future second round draft picks.
Sengun was thought of a good player at draft time but he fell

Is Sengun definitely better than Green and Jabari Smith? Is Franz better than Paolo?

The Spurs taking Primo over Sengun will gut me every day.

Franz is not way better than Suggs and Suggs is going to develop more and is more athletic and a better defender. Frank will probably always have a better shot though. Suggs is going to be a good to great point guard once his jumper is sorted and he chills out a little on offense.
