2005 NBA Draft

[DubaLakers]

This was interesting to me, I thought it might be of interest to some of you as well...

1. Bogut
2. M Williams ATL
3. DWill
4. CP3
5. Felton
6. M Webster POR
7. Villanueva TOR
8. Frye
9. Diogu GST
10. AB17
11. F Vazquez
12. Y. Korolev LAC
13. S May
14. McCants
15. A Wright NJN
16. J Graham TOR
17. D Granger
18. G Green BOS
19. Warrick
***NO ONCE ELSE OF NOTE, EXCEPT FOR LAST PICK***
30. D Lee NYK

Mitch made the best pick in the draft past a few of the slam dunks early (thanks again Mitchie!). Thank goodness the C's didn't get Granger, and is that TOR Gm still employeed? TOR has two picks prior to Granger and he comes up with Villanueva and J Graham? Time to scout west of Oklahoma sir. I remember there being a ton of buzz about Granger at the time of the draft as well. NFL and NBA draft I watch every year wire to wire. Sure offensive rebounds were a plenty for the Pacers tonight, defense was pourous for the LAL, but what was up with the careless jumpers down the stretch? Go to the rack boys!

P.S. Anyone notice that up in under in the lane KB24 did on Rush that he self passed off the backboard before the put back. As far as I thought it has to hit the goal to be legal. Big Game James didn't say anything when he ran by the clip on LTV.

P.P.S. I don't want to create another post, but there should be a new NBA stat, rather than be called a block, if you block like Ariza it should be classified as a P. P=Pawnage. That one tonight in the forth was another shock and awe block.

chris paul at 4, i totally would have taken him first
how did the clippers pick work out, i've never heard of him

anyway what was the point of this

[Dexmor]

He didn't work out.
I would have picked Paul first to. I was saying that before the draft. That was just one of those things that was obvious. In retrospect we defenately got a top 3 pick that year and the real #1 pick probably should have gone 4th or 5th.

[TruSkool]

if you look at that draft now, this is how i would pick-

1. deron williams
2. chris paul
3. danny granger
4. andrew bynum
5. david lee
6. andrew bogut
so on....

I prefer Deron over CP3 as well...size, defense, more traditional pg, but I understand why people prefer CP3 as well.

1. Deron
2. CP3
3. Bynum
4. Granger
5. Bogut
6. Felton
7. Lee

[hermes]

i prefer Paul because he will go down as the better point guard of the two

[Mindflayer]

CP3
Deron
Bynum
Granger
Bogut
Lee
Felton

You can't teach size.
