As a rule, I think drafting role players before higher usage guys is a risk. I appreciate Stockton, but Penny is 80% as good as Stockton on assists and eFG% with 40% more usage. You can get comparable value to Wade in the 3rd round (preferable value, IMO), and while Magic does two things better than Penny, they're somewhat negated by his turnovers. To me, the guy who doesn't have to compensate for his own faults is more valuable, but I doubt anyone would argue that Magic is unquestionably better than Penny. The way I see it, it's debatable at most.
There's no universe penny is better than those guys. His usage isn't high enough to be the top scorer, and Stockton is only one tier lower with astronomically higher assists and the same defense. Wade is maybe an acquired taste, but in DH52 is a top 14 stud every time. Magic, I hear you on the turnovers, he's not my personal fave but again, hard to objectively take Penny over him. There's a Pg Who goes much later than Penny - and for sure isn't AS good. But considering the rounds they go in, is arguably a better value
