Meaning, which draft had the most wrong desicions that impacted the NBA the most and could be redrafted to make more sense?

Well, 1996 comes to mind not necessarily out of incompetence, but when you've got 2 MVPs who weren't picked in the Top 10, and a 4-time DPOY not drafted at all, you know things would happen differently if we could go back in time.

2001 is another good choice. The high school bubble at its most absurd.

2000, I don't know. I'd rather go back in time and prevent that draft from ever existing.

1984 had a few. Bowie over MJ and Perkins over Barkley

I just know that the 2006 draft was absolute garbage, and that a lot of the guys that came in highly touted ended up doing nothing. I also know that there were some decent picks in that draft that went way too low though.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2006.html

That's embarrassing.

If I redid the 1st round, this is how I would do it, with their original draft order in parentheses:

1. Aldridge (2)
2. Gay (8)
3. Roy (6)
4. Millsap (47)
5. Rondo (21)
6. Lowry (24)
7. Bargnani (1)
8. Sefolosha (13)
9. R. Brewer (14)
10. Redick (11)

I really don't want to go on anymore. You had Bargnani with the 1st overall pick...Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas, and Shelden Williams were top 5 picks...Randy Foye, Patrick O'Bryant, Mouhamed Sene, and Hilton Armstrong were among the lottery picks...Marcus Williams was considered the best PG prospect in the draft by far, and was a projected lottery pick who "slipped" to 22nd, he ended up being a career 6/3 player.

Just a horrible draft with a few nice players here and there that definitely should have gone sooner. What's also funny is that I remember that everyone wanted Tyrus Thomas over Aldridge, they thought Aldridge was soft, and the Bulls actually traded Aldridge for Thomas and $1 million and everyone praised the Bulls for making such a great deal...lol.

And my god, the 2000 draft was really bad too, forgot about that. What's sad is that I'd probably still take K-Mart with the 1st overall pick among that group of players...

OMG, what a pathetic bunch of "players".

I second the above post: Martin would still go at #1. :lol:

And Mike Miller like #2.
