What about the year kwame was drafted?

Andrew Bynasty · Post #5 » by **Andrew Bynasty** » Fri May 23, 2008 4:40 pm

Yea, theres not a whole lot of talent in that draft, but i think its a little too early to tell. Roy is an All-Star, and has the potential to be a borderline superstar... but other than that I dont see another All-Star in the draft. LaMarcus Aldridge has the potential to become an All-Star, but the West has a ton of talented F's.

No way...

Pau Gasol
Jason Richardson
Tyson Chandler
Shane Battier
Joe Johnson
Richard Jefferson
Zach Randolph
Tony Parker
Gilbert Arenas
Mehmet Okur

That draft had a ton of talent.

Aldridge, Roy, and Gay are looking really good . . give it a few more years

Jack wore plaid · Post #9 » by **Jack wore plaid** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:07 pm

The 2000 draft is the worst one IMO

legacyinthemakin89c · Post #10 » by **legacyinthemakin89c** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:11 pm

One of the them.

Bargnani is horrific. Tyrus Thomas doesn;t seem to be anything other then a glorified role player. Shelden Williams was a reach and has shown why.

The only good players to come from this draft are:
Roy
Foye
Aldridge
Gay
Brewer
Rondo
Farmar

everyone else probably won't be in the league in a couple of years. that is just the first round btw.

Portland made out like bandits in that draft. :nonono:

Post #13 » by **Rich Rane** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:30 pm

2000

1.) Kenyon Martin
2.) Stromile Swift
3.) Darius Miles
4.) Marcus Fizer
5.) Mike Miller
6.) DerMarr Johnson
7.) Chris Mihm
8.) Jamal Crawford
9.) Joel Przybilla
10.) Keyon Dooling

Alex_De_Large · Post #14 » by **Alex_De_Large** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:30 pm

the best are the blazer duo who will probably become al-star (even if roy did not deserve his place lst year)
rondo will be a solid role player in the future and gay more a maggette style of player.
i don't know about foye, he was injured in his second year. but did look good in his rookie year.

Post #15 » by **CBS7** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:34 pm

Tyrus Thomas will impress next year, but it was a relatively weak draft. But still early.

The 2000 draft was terrible.

Here's what the top 10 looks like

Kenyon Martin
Stromile Swift
Darius Miles
Marcus Fizer
Mike Miller
DerMarr Johnson
Chris Mihm
Jamal Crawford
Joel Przbilla
Kenyon Dooling

Other players still in the league (to my knowledge)

Etan Thomas
Hedo Turkoglu
Desmond Mason
Quinten Richardson
Jamaal Maglorie
Moris Peterson
DeShawn Stevenson
Primoz Brezec

2nd round:

Marko Jaric
Eddie House
Eduardo Najera
Michael Redd
Brian Cardinal

The top 10 was probably the worst ever. Some solid role players outside of the top 10 but no one really that good, and the only "star" was picked in the second round.

What is that, like three allstar berths between all of them? One for each of Redd/Martin/Maglorie. Missing anyone?

Basileus777 · Post #16 » by **Basileus777** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:35 pm

Josh Boone is a top 8-10 player in that draft, I'd say its pretty weak.

Hydroponic3385 · Post #17 » by **Hydroponic3385** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:52 pm

Don't forget Daniel Gibson in the 2nd round. Obviously far from an all-star, but at least another good player, possible 6th man type player.

*edit*

Also second rounders: Paul Millsap, Leon Powe, Craig Smith

mattyj · Post #18 » by **mattyj** » Fri May 23, 2008 6:46 pm

only all-stars will be Gay, Roy and Aldridge...maybe Rondo at some point

Weak but not as bad as 2000

Alex_De_Large · Post #19 » by **Alex_De_Large** » Fri May 23, 2008 7:05 pm

mmm millsap, eh? probably top8 in that 06draft also.

00 second best player is mike miller, hilarious.

Dtown84 · Post #20 » by **Dtown84** » Fri May 23, 2008 7:13 pm

Wow I completely forgot about 00 that top 10 is abysmal.
