Wow Plowman now I know why I like so many of your takes. Good Karma just went Perfect Karma for me. Go Rockets!
2000 Stromile Swift - bust, but t-mac said he could make him an All-Star 1999 Stevie Franchise - Very good, but short career 1998 Mike Bibby - Good starter taken ahead of HOFers 1997 Keith Van Horn - Good Starter taken ahead of HOFers 1996 Marcus Camby - Good starter taken ahead of HOFers 1995 Antonio McDyess - Star Potential cut short by injury/taken ahead of HOFer 1994 Jason Kidd - HOF 1993 Shawn Bradley - BUST/Serviceable starter taken ahead of All-Stars 1992 Alonzo Mourning - HOF 1991 Kenny Anderson - Good starter 1990 Gary Payton - HOF 1989 Danny Ferry - Bust 1988 Rik Smits - Good starter 1987 Armen Gilliam - Good starter 1986 Len Bias - BUST/Dead by Overdose 1985 Wayman Tisdale - Good starter #2 Pick historically is an easy miss after the #1 pick. #3 historically has a much better HIT history likely due to less pressure compared to #2 and #1 hyped player being gone. I'm not interested in a "Good starter." We have to hit on a future HOF player. Mobley at #2 screams bust according to history, although ZO is the 1 HOF big. Suggs comparisons with HOF Kidd also taken #2, but Ball had similar comparisons. Green comparisons with Ja and some Francis like athletic ability, both taken #2 and very good.
