1984 Draft is still the gold standard

[Packfill]

That has to be the greatest draft ever. Amongst the first 14 picks were superstars Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordon and Charles Barkley, plus very good players like Kevin Willis, Sam Perkins, Alvin Robertson, Michael Cage and Otis Thorpe.

It remains to be seen...

I think the 2003 draft may be the greatest ever but we will have to wait to see.

I mean:

Lebron, Darko, Mello, Bosh, Hinrich, Wade, Ford, Josh Howard...

Then there are guys like Collison, Kaman, and Outlaw who still has time to turn..

There's also the Shaq draft...

Shaq, Laettner, Mourning, Jackson, Horry, Christie Peeler, Uhm.... Stith. Googs.

Ok, it has since fallen short, but back when Googs was using the creatin, this draft looked a lot better.

The Jason Terry '99 draft wasnt bad either

many starters are from that draft- Brand, Francis, baron Davis, Odom, Szczerbiak, Hamilton, Andre Miller, Shawn Marion, Ron Artest

then u have many good role players- Maggette, Posey, Jeff Foster, etc

thats not bad either.

but if ur looking at JUST THE top 5 picks from each draft. THEN the LEBRON year was a good one. If Darko reaches his potential, then Darko/James/Wade/Anthony/Bosh are all likely of going to the allstar game on an annual basis.
