re-doing the 1999 draft 

Post#1 » by asdfgh » Tue Jun 24, 2008 6:42 pm

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. The reason I only give you the following 3 options is because Francis was the actual pick while Odom and Maggette were the first and second pick respectively in the mock draft. I'm trying to keep the new re-done as realistic as possible. What I mean by that is that knowing what we know now about someone like Ginobili he would have gone a lot higher than he actually did, but back then no one knew him.
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

Second. All in favor? All opposed?

Motion carries.

edit: Marion and Artest would have been acceptable as well. perhaps Baron Davis.

Forgot about Marion and Baron Davis. Artest would top the listed guys, but not Hamilton - just my 2 cents though.
