Which Draft Class Teams would win?

Which team would win TODAY?
Vote on each matchup. After a week or so I will tally the votes and post 2nd round matchups.

2001 vs 2002

2001
PG: Tony Parker/Gilbert Arenas
SG: Joe Johnson/Jason Richardson
SF: Gerald Wallace/Richard Jefferson/Shane Battier
PF: Pau Gasol/Mehmet Okur
C: Tyson Chandler/Samuel Dalembert/Brendan Haywood

vs

2002
PG: Janerro Pargo/Smush Parker
SG: John Salmons/Roger Mason Jr
SF: Caron Butler/Tayshaun Prince
PF: Carlos Boozer/Luis Scola
C: Amare Stoudemire/Yao Ming

I’d have to go 2001 with this one. The most obvious descrepancy is the PG position. Tony Parker and Arenas would eat up the 2002 PG’s. 2002 is quite possibly the worst PG draft ever, although it lost Jay Williams to the motorcycle accident. As far as the bigs I think that 2001 has enough bodies to stop Yao/Stat/and Boozer. They also have the best big man in Gasol.

2003 vs 2004

2003
PG: LeBron James/Mo Williams
SG: Dwayne Wade/Kirk Hinrich
SF: Carmelo Anthony/Josh Howard
PF: Chris Bosh/David West
C: Kendrick Perkins/Chris Kaman

vs

2004
PG: Devin Harris/Jameer Nelson
SG: Kevin Martin/Delonte West
SF: Andre Iguodala/Luol Deng/Trevor Ariza
PF: Josh Smith/Al Jefferson
C: Dwight Howard/Anderson Varejao

Now I’m sure 2003 is the absolute favorite of any draft class because their top 4 looks like an Olympic squad, but looking at it objecitvely if we are talking teams I actually think 2004 would pull it off. 2004 has extremely strong defenders in Deng, Iguodala, and Ariza who could at least contain Dwade, LeBron, and Melo. Also Josh Smith and Dwight Howard the #1 and 2 in DPOY voting last year also happen to be #1 and 2 in the NBA in shot blocking. LeBron and Wade driving would get contested every single time. Now Perkins does help limit Howard but I feel like Al Jefferson could potentially own Bosh in the low post. Josh Smith can handle David West on the perimeter and Varejao could annoy the crap out of Bosh. Don’t discredit Delonte talking mamma jokes to LeBron, lol. But in all seriousness the 2004 team has a bunch of versatile defenders and I honestly would choose them to pull it off although you always have to consider the whole star performances thing with the 2003 squad.

2005 vs 2006

2005
PG: Chris Paul/Raymond Felton
SG: Deron Williams/Martell Webster
SF: Danny Granger/Marvin Williams
PF: Andrew Bogut/Andray Blatche
C: Andrew Bynum/David Lee/Marcin Gortat

vs

2006
PG: Rajon Rondo/Jordan Farmar
SG: Brandon Roy/JJ Redick
SF: Rudy Gay/Ronnie Brewer
PF: Paul Milsap/Renaldo Balkman
c: Lamarcus Aldridge/Leon Powe

I have to give it to 2005 here. The guards and wings are basically a wash but no way 2006 coud handle the size of 2005. Paul and Deron also showed in the Olympics that they complement each other so well.

2007 vs 2008

2007
PG: Aaron Brooks/Ramon Sessions
SG: Rodney Stuckey/Nick Young
SF: Kevin Durant/Wilson Chandler
PF: Al Horford/Jeff Green/Glen Davis
C: Joakim Noah/Greg Oden/Carl Landry

2008
PG: Derrick Rose/Russell Westbrook/Goran Dragic
SG: O.J Mayo/Eric Gordon
SF: Danilo Gallinari/Nicholas Batum
PF: Kevin Love/Javale Mcgee/J.J Hickson
C: Brook Lopez/Roy Hibbert

Extremely tough one to call but I went 2008. I went 2008 because of balance. Better guards than 2007 and lots of length down low. I almost went 2007 though because of the different dynamics. They have the best star in Durant. They also have guys who have played together like Durant and Green but more importantly the starting front court with Noah and Horford. In the end though I had to go 2008 as I do think Batum can at least disrupt Durant.

Wild Card matchup #1, 2009 vs 2000(Remember we are talking about a game right now, so potential is not factored in)

2000
PG: Keyon Dooling/Marco Jaric
SG: Jamal Crawford/Michael Redd
SF: Mike Miller/Quintin Richardson
PF: Hedo Turkoglu/Eduardo Najera
C: Kenyon Martin/Jamaal Magloire

2009
PG: Stephen Curry/Brandon Jennings/Darren Collison
SG: Tyreke Evans/James Harden
SF: Terrence Williams/DeMar Derozan
PF: Blake Griffin/Dejaun Blair
C: Hasheem Thabeet/B.J. Mullens

Have to go 2009 here. Too strong of guards and 2000 is extremely weak in the front line

2010 vs 1999(Remember we are talking about a game right now, so potential is not factored in)

1999
PG: Baron Davis/Andre Miller
SG: Richard Hamilton/Manu Ginobili
SF: Ron Artest/Corey Maggette
PF: Lamar Odom/Shawn Marion
C: Chris Anderson/Elton Brand

2010
PG: John Wall/Eric Bledsoe
SG: Evan Turner/Gordon Hayward
SF: Wesley Johnson/Paul George
PF: Derrick Favors/Greg Monroe
C: Demarcus Cousins/Cole Aldrich

Have to go with 1999 here. John Wall is really the only player they’d have trouble with. Ron Artest and Maggette would absolutely bull through Turner/Hayward/Johnson/etc. Chris Anderson and Odom could definitely handle Cousins and Favors or Monroe. Then also 1999 has the best 6th man in the NBA in Ginobili.
