Revisting the 05 draft

[Dexmor]

I love Andrew Bynum. He is my second favorite player but he is not the best of this class.

1.Paul
2.Bynum
3.Williams
4.Bogut-He will start to take on a bigger scoring roles and there are just to many sf's out there.
5.Marvin
6.Granger
7.Ellis
8.Felton
9.Lee
10.Maxiel
11.Webster
12.Charlie
13.Nate
14.Green- Just on potential although the Wolves didn't even pick up his option.
Nobody else is really worth mentioning

[a-rod]

1.Bynum
2.Paul
3.Williams
4.Bogut
5.LEE
6.Granger
7.Maxiel
8.Marvin
9.Felton
10.GARCIA

lakers don't want to redo the draft
we're happy with bynum

[PDXKnight]

1. Chris Paul
2. Deron Williams
3. Andrew Bynum
4. Raymond Felton
5. Danny Granger
6. Andrew Bogut
7. Marvin Williams
8. Monta Ellis
9. David Lee
10. Martell Webster

For the top 2: Paul and Williams are stars for their respective teams and any team would be crazy to not take them knowing what they know now.

There is no way Felton goes before Bogut or Granger IMO.

Based on Production to this point in there careers per times Minutes played, looking at top twenty in minutes played that debuted in 2005-2006.


1)Chris Paul
2)Deron Williams
3)Andrew Bogut
4)Raymond Felton
5)Danny Granger
6)Jose Calderon
7)Monta Ellis
Jarrett Jack
9)Marvin Williams
10)David Lee
11)Ryan Gomes
12)Luther Head
13)Charlie Villanueva
14)Channing Frye
15)Andrew Bynum
16)Nate Robinson
17)Hakim Warrick
18)Francisco Garcia
19)Chuck Hayes
20)Martell Webster

Lee, Calderon and Bynum have been held back do to lack in minutes

Felton, Jack and Frye have been helped by being thrown to the wolfs early.

Villanueva would rank higher if he wasnt injury prone

[gswhoops]

1 - Bucks - Bynum
They had TJ Ford at worst they should have tried to get a backup in the 2nd round but TJ Fords teams win, I dont think his team has ever missed the playoffs.

2 - Hawks - Paul
Obvious toss up here but I think Paul is better to have on a young team

3 - Jazz - Deron
dont mess with a good thing right?

4 - Hornets - Bogut
This was before Tyson Chandler, although this team needed lots of help so you could go for potential here.

5 - Bobcats - Marvin Williams
They need a shooter, but Webster doesnt deserve to go this high and the rest come later. They had Brevin so they didnt need a PG.

6 - Portland - Raymond Felton
They need a PG

7 - Toronto - Granger
A wing was probably their biggest need, Graham started at SF this year

8 - New York - David Lee
Was thinking Webster because knicks need shooters, but couldnt think of a person who would do better on the knicks than Lee already has, so he goes here

9 - Warriors - Nate Robinson
Good shooter and scorer, suits the offence well as first guard off the bench.

10 - Lakers - Luther Head
Jury out on whether he can be a starting PG, but Kobe dominates the ball anyway, you need a PG who can knock down shots.

11 - Magic - Villanueva
They need a big or a PG, but Jack isnt good enough to go this high

12 - Clippers - Sean May
When healthy he would add with Kaman and Brand to give a real good front court

13 - Bobcats - Webster
They get their shooter here

14 - Wolves - Louis Williams
McCants is bad, knowing that they were gonna decimate the team takes Frye and Turiaf off the table, toss up between Louis and Monta but I'd take Louis

at taking Nate Rob or Williams over Ellis

Monta: 18/4/3, EFF 17.35
Nate: 11/3/2, EFF 10.16
Louis: 10/2/3, EFF 9.29

EDIT: I missed Head (9/1.5/1.5, EFF 6.59)

You'd really take all of those guys over Ellis???

[dunkonu21]

Wow, McCants is getting a lot of hate in this thread and I'm not sure any of it is justified...I guess you gotta blame him for needing surgery huh?....not to mention that he has come back 100% after it...

15 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.4 apg, 42 3p%
