BEST and WORST of NBA Drafts!

[tidus1203]

In your opinion which was the BEST DRAFT class ever and the WORST?

How about who is the most underated draft pick, but end up so good.

And which is the biggest draft blunders?

Let me start...

BEST DRAFT CLASS = 1984 and possibly 1996 very close call for me while 1984 had Jordan ang lalim talaga ng talent pool ng 1996. 2003 is third IMO. 1984 of course included Michael Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley, Stockton among others... 1996 included Alan Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Stephon Marbury, Steve Nash, Ilgauskas among others... 2003 of course included the current BIG 3 of Miami and Carmelo Anthony...

WORST DRAFT CLASS = 2000 IMO is the worst... Si Kenyon Martin lang ang ok the rest are average to sucky at best...

Looking at it even Draft's 16-30 could beat Draft's 1-15...

MOST UNDER-RATED DRAFT PICK = Its gotta be Kobe Bryant. #13 pick only in the 1996 Draft but he was clearly not only the best player of that year but of his generation. Alan Iverson was the TOP PICK of that year, not a bad pick but nasan na ngayon si AI? Wala na! Kobe won 5 championships. And the stupid thing is the former Charlotte Hornets actually drafted Kobe but they traded him for VLADE DIVACS!!!! If history could be re-written I am sure the Hornets would want to cancel that trade.

BIGGEST DRAFT BLUNDER = Its gotta be SAM BOWIE of the 1984 pick. He was drafted #2 after Hakeem. Jordan was just #3 who ended up to be the greatest player of the game. Barkley was also there, as well as Stockton...

Another similarity is Darko Miliccic of the 2003 NBA Draft. He was picked #2 by Detroit. Lebron was the first pick, but Darko for Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and Carmelo Anthony???

Also we know that Michael Jordan might be a great player but certainly not a great talent scout by drafting KWAME BROWN #1 in the 2001 NBA Draft. Pau Gasol, Shane Battier, Tony Parker, Zack Randolph was in that draft...

Ang alam ko kay kobe siya ang ayaw maglaro sa hornets, nakornihan ata, gusto niya sa lakers

Isang masakit si Oden number one tapos number two si Durant...alat ng portland

If Kobe really wanted to be traded then Charlotte (now New Orleans) should have asked much more from the Lakers than just Vlade Divacs!

Baka nung time na yun promising lang si kobe, untested kumbaga, pero yung matandang Buss kita na nila ang potential, tapos that time productive pa si Divac, so instead of getting a pasaway yet untested kid, best choice is a productive center...kaso nga lang as we now know, the rest is history

And that is one of the reasons why LAL is one of the franchises that has always been competitive year in and year out...

that trade was masterminded by jerry west who saw huge potential in the young kobe bryant. . .plus the fact that the hornets never really had an interest on drafting kobe, if not for the pre-draft agreement with the lakers

besides, the hornets would not have kept kobe for long even if they have kept him after the draft. . .they drafted larry johnson (rookie of the year) and alonso mourning (2nd to shaq in the roty voting) the following year but it got them nowhere


for me the best draft class was 1984, with the class of '96 close behind

Portland ata may jinx eh...Sam Bowie then Oden..wow talk about bad luck

sam bowie's case was a mistake, portland selected him based on his position

no. 1 draft busts? how about olowokandi?

minsan mapapaisip ka din, what if these players did play on their respective teams who drafted them plus with a different coaching staff. Baka di din sila magshine, and would made them role players instead.

parang one dimesional kasi si kobe nung bata. more on drive drive drive lang. wala pa siyang gaanong shooting kaya siguro ganon. good for the lakers they trusted kobe and nakita potential.
