2002 draft redo
I believe John Salmons should be 6th and Roger Mason 5th based on what theses guys are doing right now for their teams. Roger Mason is the go-to player on the perimeter now and in late game situations and John Salmons is averaging 18 points per game this year on a team who is 1 up on the celtics in the playoffs
There is no way that Dunleavy is 14th. He averaged 19 ppg last season. He has been a consistent double figure scorer and blossomed once he got in the right situation--aka away from Golden State. Obviously the injury hurt him this year, but hopefully he can recover. I would say that Salmons and possibly Scola are ahead of Dunleavy though, but Dunleavy is definitely better than Mason and Wilcox. Kristic pre-injury would prob be higher than Dunleavy.
I would say that Jay Williams is #3 and possibly higher. Although Yao and Amare have been really, really good. If you could keep Jay from getting on that motorcycle then I'm convinced you would have one of the best pg's in the league today. Sure he struggled some his rookie season, but he was playing beside black-hole Jamal Crawford and under Bill Cartwright who is a horrible coach who ran a &$#%#&@! version of the triangle offense.
Haven't seen it yet so I figured I would start it.
1. Yao Ming-Houston
2. Amar'e Stoudemire-Chicago
3. Carlos Boozer-Golden St.
4. Caron Butler- Memphis
5. Tayshaun Prince-Denver
6. Jay Williams (Lost stock because of his motorcycle accident, although they wouldn't have known then)-Cleveland
7. Nene Hilario-New York
8. Mike Dunleavy Jr.- LA Clippers
9. Drew Gooden-Phoenix
10. John Salmons-Miami
11. Luis Scola-Washington
12. Chris Wilcox-LA Clippers
13. Roger Mason-Milwaukee
14. Nenad Krstic-Indiana
Not really based on team needs just talent, but some would fit to need.
