    Essentially I don't see a clear cut Franchise player.

    Last years draft had 3 franchise players, Brand, Francis, and Odom (which is still to some question).

    But, of the player in this years draft, there are about 6 players who have loads of talent but it's essentially a toss up who the best is going to turn out to be?

    Does anyone dissagree with this assessment?

    i agree vince, there looks to be a few possible superstars, but i dont think there is a shaq or KG out there. Of course, if you recall, neither odom, brand , or francis were called franchise players (and they may or may not be), but they seem to have panned out nicely.

    "Last years draft had 3 franchise players, Brand, Francis, and Odom (which is still to some question)."

    That's the beauty of the NBA draft ... going in to the draft not a single one of those players was viewed as a "Franchise" type player.

    Last 2-3 years they've been proclaiming drafts very "weak" but there are always 5-6 good to great players that come out. As we get closer to the draft we'll have a much better idea who will be top 5.
