1. Golden State-Emeka Okafor...I really thought Howard was the number 1 pick in this draft, asn was a little surprised when he took Meka. Meka has turnded into one of the best defensive centers in the league. Definately not a bad pick.
2. Seattle- Dwight Howard...I remember Chris being very happy Howard made it to him. Howard has had amazing ratings but mediocre production his whole BBS career. This year as an offensive after though in New orleans, hes finally playing well.
3. Portland-Luol Deng...Has been a solid player his whole career, but never special. This may be his best year, as hes been a key component for the Jazz team.
4. Cleveland- Shawn Livingston...Turned out better the Deng without a doubt. Livingston has been a great point guard and was the only reason Mark wouldve ever traded Baron Davis.
5. Cleveland- Andres Biedrins...Very solid center with good rebounding and defensive skills. Bounced around from Cleveland to New Orleans to Detroit, then on to Denver. Not an All-Star type player, but a top echelon center.
6. Atlanta- Ben Gordon...Much better earlier in his career. Has really fallen off a bit in Utah after a promising start in Atlanta. Maybe he can regain his game in Memphis.
7. Seattle- Josh Smith...I think Smith has been on everyteam in the BBS. He is a very good SF with excellent athleticsm and dunking ability. Not a star, but a solid starter.
8. Portland- Devin Harris...A star very early in Portland. Has been a consistent double double threat his whole career. Portland had quite a draft in 04.
9. LA Clippers- Pavel Podkolzine...I didnt expect pavel to go this high. Clippers need a center and reached a bit here. Pavel is finally a decent starting 5, but definately shouldve slipped on draft day.
10. Portland- Martynas Andriecavicus...Just never developed. Looked super from the very beginning, but kinda flammed out. Now a backup.
11. Philadelphia-Andre Iguadola...Best value pick in this draft. Couldve gone top 5, so getting him at 11 is a steal.
12. LA Clippers- Josh Childress...Clippers probably shouldve drafted Iggy at 9, then gotten Pavel here. Instead they got 2 guys that were solid players, but ot stars. Childress is a good backup.
13. Cleveland- J.R. Smith...Pretty big dissapointment. Never lived up to his HS clippings. Was supposed to be an elite shooter with athleticsm. What happened?
