Over the last 3 drafts, if we had picked the player you wanted at our pick, what would our team look like right now?
Players I wanted who were available at our pick:
2005:
Gerald Green
Danny Granger
Antoine Wright
2006:
Rudy Gay (easily would have taken him)
2007:
Corey Brewer
Brandan Wright (probably would have taken Wright)
Granger and Gay would be SOOO nice to have right now
If we had picked who you wanted....where would we be?
Moderators: Domejandro, Worm Guts, Calinks

Thriving on mediocrity since '89.

I was into the taunting, borderline craziness, and passion for the game that he brought to UNC. Sure, he had a big head and thought he might have thought was the best player in the nation(He never said that, it's just what I think), but you could tell he wanted to win badly and I wanted him next to KG at the time, and I think his attitude replaces KGs to a degree.
One of the huge reasons why KG is my all-time favorite player is his attitude and passion.

I started obsessing about the draft in 1999.
1999: I wanted Rip Hamilton, we took Wally Szczerbiak
for the 2nd 1st rounder I wanted Ron Artest, but we took William Avery
2003: I wanted Josh Howard, we took Ndudi Ebi
2005: I wanted Gerald Green, we took Rashad McCants
2006: I wanted Rudy Gay, we took Randy Foye
2007: I got the player I wanted, Corey Brewer
I was probably wrong in 2005 for wanting Green instead of McCants, but overall I think we would be happy if we drafted the guys I liked.

1999: I wanted Maggette, but happy with Wally, the only one I was happy with.
2003: I wanted Josh Howard, I was so po'd when we took Ebi, I was screaming at the TV for not taking Howard, who knew I would be right.
2005: I wanted Gerald Green, oops my bad.
2006: I wanted Rudy Gay, we took Foye, I was ok with it because I knew going into the draft we were going with Foye.
2007: I wanted Thorton or Brandon Wright because I had a feeling KG was as good as gone.

"Dude, all I am saying is we already have a starting RB, his name is Chester Taylor. Besides AP isn't that good anyways. I hope we draft McFadden." --Me after he broke the record.

Ok, I guess I should do this to. Just to be fair.
1995 Jesus was born
1996 I wanted Ray Allen
1997 I wanted Bobby Jackson
1998 I liked doleac and Clark, after that I was not sure. During the draft itself I liked Rashard Lewis.
1999 was heartbreak. I wanted Rip with the wally pick, and Posey with the Avery pick
2003 I wanted Perkins. Not Ebi and not Howard. I wanted Perkins.
2005 I wanted to trade for Denver's two picks and get Hodge and Jarrett Jack. But I was the only one on the draft board to say I liked McCants
2006 Everyone wanted Roy or Gay pre-draft
2007 If we had KG I wanted Noah,brewer or Hawes. W/O KG I thought Brewer or Noah.

Well, you're lucky I didn't find out about this site until 2006. You and I would have been holding hands, running through the fields talking about McCants all day during the draft.

2003: Every Wolves fan was screaming Josh Howard. After all this years the league gave one our pick back and McHale took Ebi? I still can't get over it.
2005: I wanted Danny Granger, he slipped big time cause of his injured knee, before that he was #2 pick in USA Today mock. Of course Wolves passed on him.
2006: I wanted Roy or Gay or Foye in that order.
2007: I was ok with Brewer.

From Ray-Ray to KG to 2P
We're in The Finals, bay-bee!

Yes, the Ebi picked was really disappointing, but Ebi had a lot of hype in the Nike camps and everyone was raving that he was "owning" LeBron.

McCants is better than Diogu, Vasquez, Korolev, May, Felton, Villenueva, and Webster. That is 7 teams that passed up on a better player and New Jersey and Toronto passed up on Granger too.(Those two teams picked after us)
