I'm thinking this from the top of my head, but I think there haven't been that many. From what I know the 1992 draft had Shaq, and Zo, who were both great players. 1984 had potential, lol Hakeem and Jordan, but that was ruined.

1960, Oscar and West

I think it could potentially it end up being the '03 with the emergence of LeBron and Wade.

Or was it Carmelo?

Bosh?

Darko? Oh... nevermind.

2000...

Kenyon Martin
Stromile Swift

Youch.


It has to be 1992 with Shaq and Zo.

1996 with Iverson and Camby wasn't bad.

1990, Coleman and Payton, not too shabby, could've been much better had Coleman's career not trailed off post-Nets.

Has to be Robertson and West if you are going by the ability of the second best player, they are the only draft with two of the top 10 or even top 20 players of all time anyone has come up with. Zo was a terrific player but not close to top twenty, Payton might be top 20 but not Iverson and as for the likes of Derrick Coleman, HA.

Yao and Jay Will, thats pretty good.

Dam motorcycle.


I have a feeling Oden and Durant are going to be very special.

Oden hasn't played yet, and Durant only played really well in the 2nd half of the season.

It could turn out to be one of the better ones (:pray:), but its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to early to tell

1968 Unseld and Hayes was sick too, but 1960 takes the cake IMHO.

Didn't think the green font was necessary.

2002 should've been the best of the 2000s - Yao and Jay Williams.
