    Default '84, '96, '03 Drafts

    Which Draft do you think is the best. My way of figuring out was to count the number of strong or great or memorable players in each draft. From that, so far the '96 is the best,(IMO) but I believe the '03 Draft will eclipse it. What do you guys think?

    2003 is very deep, plus those players still have time to pan out and become great players or solid contributors...

    how about assembling a team from those drafts?

    2003
    PG Kirk Hinrich/TJ Ford/barbosa
    SG Dwyane Wade/ Mickael Pietrus?
    SF Lebron James/Carmelo Anthony/Josh Howard
    PF Chris Bosh/ Nick Collison
    C Chris Kaman/Darko Milicic

    1996
    PG Allen Iverson/Steve Nash/Stephon Marbury
    SG Kobe Bryant/Ray Allen
    SF Peja Stojakovic/ antoine walker
    PF Jermaine O'neal/ Shareef abdur-rahim
    C Marcus Camby/ Zadrunas Illgauskas

    1984
    PG John Stockton/Alvin Roberston
    SG Michael Jordan
    SF Otis Thorpe?
    PF Charles Barkley
    C Hakeem Olajuwon/Kevin Willis

    Peja, Antoine< lebron James/Carmelo Anthony/Josh Howard

    thanks kumquat and KO King for filling in those players.

    i started watching basketball in the early '90s when the Spurs Drafted a rookie named David Robinson, so i am not familiar with vern fleming and tony campbell.

    i do know jerome kersey was good in portland...even participated in a dunk contest if i recall! lol

    Diaw--One year wonder, OVERPAID-nobody will touch his contract, role player
    Barbosa--Allen Iverson light, light
    T.J. Ford--no big thing
    Hinrich--I'm the biggest Bulls homer and he's above average for his time and that's it
    Pavlovic? LOL, If he's half the player Kersey was, he'll be good.
    So...LeBron, Wade and Carmelo are to be proven.

    So far (H)Akeem has had a better career than all of those guys combined so...

    They've played 4 years in the league and I said "Look at these players and where they are going" so you can't make the success point til theyre at the end of their careers.

    '84 draft produced 2 top 10 players of all time...one being the GOAT.

    the '96 draft is obviously the deepest of the three.

    the '03 draft has the most potential.
