No more seniors

Since we all like potential and all, do you guys ever see a Senior player ever getting drafted 1st overall again. Kenyon Martin was the last one to don the title. I feel we would have less busts, and better knowledge of the players if they stay 3 to 4 years. It seems it works well in the NFL, but do you think that college basketball and the NBA would agree to it. Also who do you guys think was the best high school basketball player drafted between 1995 to 2005. Top 5 real quick Kobe bryant, Kevin Garnett, Lebron James, (note lebron will be 1 in a few years when he gets his title), and Tracy McGrady. 5 worst Kwame Brown, Darius Miles, Eddy Curry, Bassy Telfair and Robert Swift.

Lebron

hands down best high school player drafted from 95 to 05. Didn't take long at all to develop into a superstar, Kobe played a couple seasons before becoming the face of the Lakers with Shaq

u need to add another player to get your five best. lebron, kobe, kg, d howard, and amare are the best out of hs. t mac lost all respect after the stuff he pulled with the injury, and he doesnt win in the playoffs.

Telfair was an 18 pick and he is turning out to be a decent point guard. His only problem was too much hype, he his no worst the gerrard green

honorable mention for best

The last batch of high schoolers has shown some promise but injuries have plagued them: Andrew Bynum, Monta Ellis, Martell Webster
And I think Louis williams is a late bloomer (finally getting clock the past two seasons)

at lebron age kobe had a ring

lebron has the cast he doesn't have a shaq but he has a better overall team

his shot isnt there yet

sorry spelled the word wrong

sorry spelled the word wrong disposition, I mean Duncans personality. You know a 7 footer thats a diamond in the rough but gets better over four years and still be humble and loyal enough to stay in college four years.
