    yes. an "NBA ultimate draft" from sports illustrated has finally convinced me that reggie miller was much better than mitch richmond. this refutes every pro-mitch argument (that he had nowhere near the same amount of talent on his team as reggie did, that he made more all-star teams/more all-nba teams, that reggie's impact is overstated because of his games against the knicks, and so forth).

    thank goodness for this article; with it, the mitch richmond fans don't have a leg to stand on.

    Haaaaa. It was a joke as it seems whenever a basketball thread like this comes up reggie>>>>mitch or vice-versa always works its way in there. Figured I'd try and get it over w/ sooner than later. Fwiw, to me, its really close. I give Reggie the nod because Mitch Richmonds sister cant slam no roundball ya dig.

    Bill Walton 14th overall is unbelievable. This is a draft based on professional careers, Walton's pro career was short lived and nothing compared to his college days

    There is a season sim on the website, says Jack Mccallum's team did the worst, I would still rather have his team than mannix's

    Agreed, really liked his team. Not huge on Mourning but I mean Bird/Walton/Nash is just insanely gross.

    I assume that the draft was based on the premise that you would get the dude at his best. Walton could absolutely ball prior to his feet giving up on him Walton pre-injury (I believe it was 77 or 78) was incredibly talented and we didn't have to listen to him talk during games (definition of win - win)

    mannix's team just further proves you can get a job writing about sports without knowing a thing about it.
