^ All are/were solid players at the very least. There are also multiple MVP candidates on that list. Wasn't this considered a weak draft too?

everyone on this damn near is important to their team. deep AF

[GOBB]

No clue would have to look at draft histories but I'm sure you did that no? This class is deep. Hopefully 2014 class can duplicate this one

[SugarHill]

03 was the most top heavy, clearly. 09 is the deepest, by far.

[HOoopCityJones]

96' was deeper.

[HOoopCityJones]

11 All-stars and at least two Defensive players of the year.

Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Ray Allen


Marcus Camby, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Stephon Marbury, Antoine Walker, Peja Stojakovic, Jermaine O’Neal, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and Ben Wallace.


Others: Derek Fisher, Eric Dampier, Kerry Kittles, Dontae Jones, Samaki Walker, Malik Rose.

No one questions that. Deepest draft of all time.

[3peated]

[T_L_P]

Spurs somehow got one of the 5 best players in that draft. :biggums:

Rose
Westbrook
Love
Ibaka
Brook Lopez
Gallinari
O.J Mayo
Eric Gordon
Hibbert
Batum
DeAndre Jordan
Pekovic
Dragic
Asik
Speights
Beasley
Chalmers
Koufos
George Hill
Courtney Lee
Javale McGee
Jerryd Bayless

that's a deep ass draft, damn near everyone drafted in the 1st round was or still is a solid player right now.

Green.

Just noticed Lawson on the list though. Green is probably 7th or 8th, which is still great.

08 is sweet too. A few franchise players, a bunch of good starters, and a bunch of great role players.

:bowdown:

[HurricaneKid]

Op, are you Byron Mullens?

Why else would he show up on this list??

Career VORP = -2.1 (replacement player is 2.1 games better than his career)

Playoff PER -13.7 (is that even possible??)

[HOoopCityJones]

No one questions that. Deepest draft of all time.

last decade tho :coleman:

My bad. :cheers:

Not feeling how you laid it out, so I'ma roll with the OP.

:confusedshrug:

Do you. :confusedshrug:

[HOoopCityJones]

The 96' Draft also takes home the title for most players named to an all NBA team with 8, counting undrafted Ben Wallace.

As well as three MVP players, Iverson, Nash and Kobe.

[Done_And_Done]

So deep

[Done_And_Done]

A nice blend of MVP quality players, all stars, and solid glue guys. And then Hansbrough

08 wasn't too shabby either...

What does 96 have to do with this thread

[RedBlackAttack]

Not as good as the 2008 or '09 drafts, but 2011 is sort of underrated because of a few busts at the top (Williams, Vesely). You go down the board and there were a lot of quality players throughout, especially with guys like Cory Joseph and Montiejunas stepping up their games this year.

Kyrie Irving
Kawhi Leonard
Klay Thompson
Jimmy Butler
Kenneth Faried
Chandler Parsons
Kemba Walker
Reggie Jackson
Jonas Valanciunas
Markieff Morris
Tristan Thompson
Nikola Vucevic
Brandon Knight
Iman Shumpert
Tobias Harris
Donatas Motiejunas
Norris Cole
Enes Kanter
Cory Joseph
Nikola Mirotic
Isaiah Thomas
Alec Burks


When you can name over 20 guys that are major contributors to their respective teams 3 1/2 years after a draft, it was pretty deep.

Dude doesn't know what a decade is. :roll:

Nope. Just noticed 96' was deep as ****.

[HOoopCityJones]

Just spouting some facts about it since I already brought it up. What crawled up your asshole? :biggums:
