 I wish you put more time into these.

I’m old enough to have seen all of these players in their primes, and Felton Spencer at 10?

Cedric Ceballos was a 1 time All-Star who had a 3 year span in which he averaged between 19-22 ppg. He was a double digit scorer from ages 23-30 and a really dynamic offensive weapon.

Dennis Scott is top 50 all time in career 3 pointers made and career 3 point percentage as well as having a number of double digit scoring seasons including a career high of 19.9 ppg.

Jayson Williams made an All-Star team and was one of the best offensive rebounders in the NBA during his prime. He had 4 double digit rebounding seasons including a career of 13.9 that would have won the rebounding crown had some guy named Rodman not have been playing.

Loy Vaught lead the Clippers to their only playoff birth in the latter half of the 90’s and had two double double seasons capped by a 16/10 season in 95-96

Dee Brown had 5 straight double digit scoring seasons, and developed into a 3 point threat in his later years

Terry Mills’ best season was a 17.4 ppg 8.4 rpg year for Detroit amidst a nice run as a solid 2nd or 3rd scoring options.

All of this to say, you’d go with Felton Spencer over all of them. A guy who never scored over 700 points in a season, a guy who was a 23 year old rookie, and a guy who who’s best years were 8/8 and 9/7 seasons? What on earth is your reasoning?

He has no reasoning. He spent about 2 minutes looking at the list of draftees and put them in order based on which names he most commonly recognized

[MattP31Participant]

1.Gary Payton, enough said

2.Derrick Coleman, 5 double-double years and for a time looked like he was elite

3.Toni Kukoc, Just behind DC because he was never a first-option

4.Cedric Ceballos, 3 big years mixed with a bunch of very solid years

5.Kendall Gill, slightly under-rated player who had 2 years over 20 PPG

6.Antonio Davis, long solid and productive career for some good teams 

7.Tyrone Hill, long productive career for the high motor rebounder

8.Chris Jackson(Abdul-Rauf), could be higher but shorter career and limited time being an impact guy bring him down

9.Dennis Scott, would rank higher if he remained productive a little longer or was less one-dimensional

10.Elden Campbell, had some years similar to Tyrone Hill but not quite as good on the boards

11.Loy Vaught, outside of his 3 big years he really only had 4 more strong years

12.Lionel Simmons, too bad he couldn’t last after averaging at least 15/7 in each of his first four years

13.Jayson Williams, some seem to forget he was only an impact guy for 4 years before retiring after a slow start to his career

14.Dee Brown, 6 years in double figures

15.Terry Mills, had a few big seasons quietly 

16.Bimbo Coles, long career where he averaged double figures 4 times

17.Scott Williams, undrafted big went on to long productive career as a quality reserve

18.Felton Spencer, more of a good backup than a starter

19.Tony Massenburg, long career as a backup

20.Matt Bullard, undrafted stretch 4 that lasted 615 games and played on some very good Houston teams

Thank you for removing Dwayne Schintzius from the list completely. Horrible player. Worse hair.
