[CODE_BLUE56]

2008 and 2003 imo

 

[BNB]

2003 and 2005

 

[nwfisch]

Interesting BNB.

I'd take 2003 easily, but 2004 should have Josh Smith somewhere IMO.

So I take 03 and 04.

Thanks. I thought I did put Josh Smith, put I guess I put JR Smith instead

JR Swoosh>>>>MJ

 

[nwfisch]

Also forgot Diaw in the 2003 draft :smh:

I'd consider putting Kendrick Perkins in the 03 draft as well. :dunno:

I wanted to leave it at 9 because some drafts don't even have 9 players worth picking haha. Some drafts had more than 10, but it would have been lopsided. The ones that don't even have 9 good ones aren't gonna be the ones that make it through... so it doesn't matter too much.

 

[nwfisch]

But damn that 03 class was strong...

 

[Mr. Cub]

2003 easy. Pietrus makes it a lock. I like 05 and 08 next.

 

[inactiveuser1]

03 & 05

 

[Crystallas]

03 and 08(no homer, it's legit).

 

[BNB]

actually.. I switch to 08. I completely forgot that Roy Hibbert was drafted in 08.

 

[BNB]

But 2005 is good as ****.

CP, Dwill, Bynum, Ellis, Granger, Lee, Bogut..

:thinking:

 

[clonetrooper264]

03 for sure...another ridiculously stacked draft class

For me I can't really pick between 04, 05, or 08. 04 has some defensive monsters in Iggy, Howard, Okafor, and JSmoove, but I guess this isn't totally about how they'd be as a team. xD

05 talent wise has got some really big names. CP3, DWill, Ellis is a heck of a guard class. Bynum and Bogut is one of the better pairs of centers too. David Lee is pretty darn good too. Double double machine even if he doesn't play any D.

08...you got Rose, Westbrook and KLove. Their second tier I would argue is stronger than most other years. There really isn't a guy on that list that I look at and go meh except for maybe OJ Mayo, but he was pretty darn good his first couple seasons.


All that said...I think I'll take 08 for 2nd pick. Though, I could probably waffle back and forth on all 3 of those teams...

 

[X]

I'll vote for the heat (03) and the 08 draft.

 

[Scoot26]

2003 and 2008.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

2003 and 2007

 

[houheffna]

2003 and 2008.

I agree

 

[brett05]

2003 and then 2008
