RIGHT NOW, which draft class do you think would make the best team? Benches ARE in the discussion (YOU dig up those players!), but we're talking about the top 12 players.

2003 is the best draft class since 1996.

'03 and it's really not even close. Especially with Kaman's emergence.

Next - 2002's best five isn't too shabby, despite the average draft overall

2003 clearly, but I'm surprised at how good the 2002 team would be!

I dunno. That 1999 team would give 2002 a run for their money. 2002 has the size but 99 has the skills.
2003 is the best though.
It's hard to tell about the last three years. Right now, they're not mature enough to compete with everybody else, but 5 years from now, we might look back on one of those draft classes and marvel.

2003 1998 and 2002 they have all time great talent in their classes.
I would probably go 2003 and 1998/2002 battle it out for 2nd. Leaning to 98..........

As an actual team 2001 would be pretty darn good. Its the only one with everyone in their natural position. They would be hurting a bit for low post scoring, but have everything else you could want.
