Re(1): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By MadTiger on 06-20-2006 11:10 AM One mock I looked at has Andrea Bargnani going ahead of Tyrus. Way ahead. I have to do more research to find out, but I think you are right, that we don't have any sure-fire All-Stars like past years.

Re(1): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By 1.21Gigawatts on 06-20-2006 11:11 AM This draft is 90x better than last year's draft. This might even be an above average draft if Tyrus Thomas can be as good as Dwight Howard his first couple years. Check out nbadraft.net   They have Aldridge going 8th I think to Boston. He didn't look dominating at all in the tournament game I watched. He was way too passive. I think he'll suck.

Re(2): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By loopy on 06-20-2006 11:12 AM Yeah... Apparently Bargnani has a game somewhere between Dirk and Pau. Sounds solid.

Re(2): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By loopy on 06-20-2006 11:21 AM 90x better than last year... no way. Soon to be all-stars from last year: Andrew Bogut Chris Paul (hall of famer) Deron Williams Channing Frye Need some time but will end up solid as well: Marvin Williams Sean May Joey Graham Danny Granger Francisco Garcia I agree about Aldridge though Gig... think he's gonna be a bust. Wouldn't be surprised if T Thomas was too.

Re(3): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By ltquick on 06-20-2006 11:21 AM I don't know, but I think this may have been the worst draft. Tony Parker and Gilbert Arenas were picked later on to give the class of '01 some credibility, but overall very weak. http://www.nba.com/draft2001/draft_board.html?nav=TextNavBar And BTW, Tyrus Thomas = Stromole Swift .. same school, same type of player, same career

Re(3): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By 1.21Gigawatts on 06-20-2006 11:32 AM I like Bogut, but I have a feeling he'll never be more than a 12-9 guy. That's good for a center these days, but that's not something you want when you're taking the first pick. Chris Paul and Charlie Villanueva are the two best players from last year. I think they're the only sure fire future All-Stars. A lot of these guys (granger, graham, may) are going to be good, but they're not going to be great. I don't see any of them ever average 22 point a game or anything like that. Deron Williams looked awful most of last season. Who knows about Marvin Williams. This year's draft could have plenty of impact players. I think Marcus Williams is going to be very good and Brandon Roy might be the best out of all of them 20 years from now. You never know with any draft, but I think any of the top 9 picks here (http://www.nbadraft.net/) could be legitimate all-stars one day.

Re(4): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By loopy on 06-20-2006 11:45 AM Deron Williams averaged 11 / 4.5 / 1 last year in less than 30 minutes per game on a weak team... Not bad for a rookie. He's got that Mark Jackson style of ball control that I think will keep him in the mix for a long time. Needs to shoot better but will come with experience. Brandon Roy is definitely the man! Rudy Gay I'm not sure about... he's had so much hype the last few years and just doesn't seem to have the extra push. Will be interesting to see how he turns out.

On the contrary how about the Draft class with Lebron and D-wade as the best ever? How about that pick by Detroit, I know Darco was the next Dirk and all, but looking at that top 5 and seeing Darco going #2 is pretty funny at this point.

Re(5): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By 1.21Gigawatts on 06-20-2006 11:56 AM 2003 - best draft ever? LeBron         31.4  Wade          27.2 Carmelo       26.5 Bosh           22.5 Boris Diaw Josh Howard 15.6 Hinrich         15.9 Kyle Freaking Korver best player ever! Kaman       12.0  9.6 rebounds David West 17.0  7.0 rebounds TJ Ford       12.0  7.0 assists Ridnour       11.5  7.0 assists Barbosa & Mo Williams too. 13 ppg. Wow man the list doesn't stop. Not bad for their 3rd year.

Re(6): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By jtown1010 on 06-20-2006 11:59 AM Kyle Freaking Korver best player ever! I concur

Re(1): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By ChocoThunder on 06-20-2006 12:16 PM Please just tell me that the Bulls don't take Thomas

Re(2): 2006 NBA draft... worst ever? In reply to By loopy on 06-20-2006 12:24 PM '03 was HUGE. But... 1984: 1. Hakeem 2. Sam Bowie! (Yes... Sam Bowie) 3. Mike Jordan 4. Sam Perkins 5. Barkley 11. Kevin Willis 16. John Stockton Time will tell.
