In honor of today's NBA draft, ESPN Page 2 has a
great article discussing the best pick at every spot in the draft, from the top pick (they took Shaq over Duncan), to the #60 pick in the second round (Drazen Petrovic). There are definitely some very questionable picks by writer Mike Lynch, such as D.Wade over not only Kevin Garnett, but also Scottie Pippen at the #5 spot. Obviously nearly every spot in the first round has either a hall of famer or an all-star, but the #12 spot is incredibly lacking, to say the least. The best player ever drafted 12th? Mookie Blaylock.
Here are some other notables:
#13: Karl Malone (Utah) over Kobe Bryant (Charlotte)
#15: Steve Nash (Phoenix)
#31: Gilbert Arenas (Golden State)
#37: Nick Van Exel (Los Angeles Lakers)
#57: Manu Ginobili (San Antonio)
Here's a
link to the article and full list.
