re-doing the 1999 draft 

Post#1 » by asdfgh » Mon Jun 30, 2008 3:26 am

nbadraft.net has updated their website and one of the things they added is mock drafts from previous years, all the way back to 1999. I thought of using those mock drafts to play a game where I will re-do the drafts, beginning with the 1999 draft. I have included these 4 players because your actual pick was Miller and the other players were picked above him in the real draft.
So please vote and remember that this only a game I'm playing for my own (and hopefully everyone else's) amusement!

So far we have:
1. Chicago Bulls: Elton Brand, Duke
2. Vancouver Grizzlies: Corey Maggette, Duke
3. Charlotte Hornets: Baron Davis, UCLA
4. Los Angeles Clippers: Rip Hamilton, Connecticut
5. Toronto Raptors: Shawn Marion, UNLV
6. Minnesota Timberwolves: Lamar Odom, Rhode Island
7. Washington Wizards: Andrei Kirilenko (Russia)

Its easily still Andre, but why no option to vote for Artest or Terry?

This isn't amusing at all.. It reminds us of how much we failed in the past when it comes to drafting.

Ooh good work Pip. I forgot Manu was in that draft. In that case my order goes:

Ginobli
Miller
Artest
Wally
Terry
Francis

I would just stick with our normal pick, because if we picked up a good player James probably would'nt have been here which would suck. But this is just a question so I would say Miller.
