he probably didnt make the list because its not like that draft was a good one at all. darius miles at #2 to the clippers. that didnt work out very well

I thought the same when I saw it yesterday...

Didn't SI or ESPN declare that draft the worst ever?

Fizer wasn't hyped to be a future star like most of those guys were and he has decent NBA career averages of 9.6ppg and 4.6 rpg in about 21 minutes a game. Before the knee injury he had seasons of 12.3 and 11.7 ppg.

Where is Harold Miner on that list? Remember "baby Jordan?"

Wow a team comprised of picks 16-20 would kick the crap out of any team you formed from the top ten right now!!!

it's crazy to look back

 

[Drive4cy]

There some good role players late in that draft with D Mason, Claxton, Q Rich, and Mo Pete. That was a bad year to have a lottery pick. Pretty sad when Mike Miller and Jamal Crawford are the cream of the crop in the lottery.
