Revisiting the 2003 nba draft.

an-also · Post by **an-also** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 2:37 pm

Who are the top 10 players right now that got drafted last year.

my list goes:

1. Lebron james ( sky's the limit)
2. Dwayne Wade (see above)
3. Chris Bosh (unlimited potential, will be a 20ppg, 10 rpg guy)
4. Carmello Anthony(i dont kno about this guy. selfish sometimes)
5. Kirk Hinrich(Good floor general for the upcoming bulls)
6. Josh Howard(solid D, should be a starter)
7. Jarvis hays ( gets no pub but hes a solid player)
8. Kyle Korver(prolly the best pure 3 pt shooter)
9. Luke Ridnour( puttin up decent #s. 10/6)
10. Mike Sweetney(needs more playin time. seems like he can develop)

Pretty sick draft. James and Wade are already superstars. Bosh looks like he's headed to stardom. Anthony too if he gets his act togeather.

Stop sleeping on Elf Power fool...the only player that's better than Hinrich is King James. Hinrich means a lot more to his team than Wade does to his; dude is gonna be right up there with Jason Kidd and Stockton when it's all said and done, mark my words.

1)Lebron
2)Hinrich
3)Wade
4)Bosh
5)Carmelo

Hinrich above Wade? Are you fucking kidding me?

Please hurl yourself into a canyon of some sort.

Talented PG's who can shoot 3's, rebound, pass, run the break, and lock down people on defense are hard to find...athletic 2 guards, however, are not...just ask Ben Gordon, who's gonna be as good as Wade.

Hinrich's gonna be around for a lot longer than Wade. Wade's little ass is gonna get injured real quick doing all those Jordan impressions; Hinrich's gonna get better and better until he peaks in 5-6 years, and then be around 4-5 years after that.

You need to get off Hinrich's cock. He's a solid player with a lot of potential, but you speak as he's gonna be a top 10 all time player by the time his career is over.

Wade is unstoppable going to the basket, he's got one of the best crossovers in the league already. Once Wade develops a reliable jumpshot, he's going to be unguardable. Not to mention he's one of the best shot blocking guards in his league. He's also unselfish.

If you ask most people given the choice who'd they rather have on their team Hinrich or Wade, I guarantee most of them would pick Wade and with good reason.

Icesickle, you're a really underesitmating how good Wade is. Playing with Shaq will make you better, but the kid is going to be really great.

hinrich over wade.

please put the tabs of LSD on the ground and kick them over to me, sir.

Wade is an amazing player who showed up big in the playoffs last year, just like he will this year. Hinrich over Wade is the most absurd sports statement I have heard all year.

1. James
2. Wade
3. Bosh
4. Hinrich
5. Melo

I think thats how it goes.
Hinrich is sick, but hes not better than Wade. Melo is good but he's over rated, and the Nuggets suck this year. I predicted them to do much better with a line up that consists of Martin, Melo and Dre.
Bosh's Offense is amazing, and is getting a lot better. His rebs are also getting better, but he sometimes lacks on D. He is a good shot blocker though.

You guys are factoring in Hinrich's defense right, and Wade's lack thereof, correct?

Him leading a team at 23-24 years old isn't an easy task as well...

And, like I said, in the long run Hinrich will be better because injuries will take a toll on Wade's game.

BeHemoth · Post by **BeHemoth** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 7:45 pm

Hinrich is white. And whitey don't win in the NBA. You got Larry Legend fever and need to go see a doctor immediately.

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 8:37 pm

wtf?

dwayne wade is the best help defender a.k.a team defender out of everyone on this list.

an-also · Post by **an-also** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:50 am

For now and the long run, i rather have wade and bosh over Hinrich. I'd prolly even take carmello over him cause i'm sure as he gets older he'll mature more.

Julius Seizure · Post by **Julius Seizure** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 2:50 am

I'll pile on (no homo) and say you're fucking loopy if you think Hinrich is better now, or will be better than Wade. That's ignant. And I like Hinrich's game quite a bit.

I like Bosh but I don't think he'll ever dominate. He could level out at a Gasol like level of play.

Carmelo is one of my favorite players ever, but he needs to keep his head screwed on straight. He reminds me of a taller Pierce.

wow....hinrich over wade

just wow

i'd also take sweetney over lebron

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:32 pm

Keith Van Horn is just as good as that Tim Duncan guy everyone talks about.

djm13 · Post by **djm13** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:34 pm

i'd take rick brunson over steve nash...dude plays above average defense

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:36 pm

Whoever skipped on drafting Loren Woods will be sorry.

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:37 pm

and oh yeah, Chris Kaman has also been solid for the clips. and that's not being sarcastic.

Julius Seizure · Post by **Julius Seizure** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:45 pm

Yeah. Kaman has been a beast lately. It finally clicked for him. He is pretty skilled and athletic for an enormous gawky white dude.

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:46 pm

he had a pretty good run in the second half of last season from my memory.

Nowell's Soul · Post by **Nowell's Soul** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 1:26 pm

I was going to rationalize Icesickle's thinking and back up Hinrich's legitimacy and potential as one of the most successful floor generals to grace the league in a long time...

I was going to talk about how it's impossible to compare Hinrich and Wade because the difference in a point guard and a 2-guard is like comparing apples and oranges...

I mean, D-Wade is outscoring Shaq right now, he's top-ten in the league, putting up bigger numbers then one of the most dominant players ever, and above all that is on the best team in the East.

You can't compare the two, they do different things for their team. Now, if you try to compare them by taking them out of the lineup to their respective team, you've got to think that Miami would still be a playoff team, because the have Shaq, and the Bulls would be completely helpless and nowhere near .500...

Anyways, I was going to do all that, but I instead I found these "jersey basketballs" on Eastbay, and I think they're neat...

I am easily distracted....

Peace.

He is more like Antione Walker or Glenn robinson

blastmaster · Post by **blastmaster** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 1:37 pm

Wade is a very solid defender, and proved that he can run the point in the playoffs.

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 1:39 pm

what people don't realize is that carmello is only in his second year. i think he'll be a great player but he's just going through a sophmore slump.

carmello is much more atheletically gifted then glenn robinson and his game is more polished then antoine walker.

You don't remember Antione's first few years out of Kentucky, their games are so similar its almost scary. I watch 85% of Nuggets games, I would know.

i dont care if they're different players....shaq and shandon anderson are different players...doesn't mean we dont know who's better
