    Steve Francis
    Elton Brand
    Baron Davis
    Shawn Marion and
    Lamar Odom all look like they are going to be super stars.

    Wally Szczerbiak and
    Andre Miller look like they will be All Stars before their careers are over.


    Kenny Thomas
    Ron Artest and
    Vontego Cummings all look like solid contributors for years to come.

    Not to mention sure fire Hall of Famers
    Leon Smith and
    Wang Zhi-Zhi Ok so hall of famers might be jumping the gun a bit.

    I think the 99 draft was the best of the 90's. Anyone think differently?

    the 96' draft was VERY GOOD. This 99' one might be better, but only time will tell.

    I'll take '96

    Iverson
    Camby
    Abdur-Rahim
    Marbury
    Allen
    A.Walker
    Kobe Bryant
    Stojakovic
    Nash
    J.O'neal
    Ilgauskas.

    Thats a deep draft. Plus Othella, Moochie and Shandon.

    '99 isn't bad, but '96 was better.

    The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.

    I'll also go with '96. Just too much volume of outstanding players.

    98 wasn't a bad year either.

    Mike Bibby
    Antawn Jamison
    Vince Carter
    Jason Williams
    Larry Hughes
    Dirk Nowitzki
    Paul Pierce
    Michael Dickerson
    Rashard Lewis
    Cuttino Mobley

    With guys like:

    Bonzi Wells
    Raef Lafrentz
    Ricky Davis
    Al Harrington

    starting to come around.

    I think 96 was definitely the best draft of the decade, although 99 was also pretty good.

    Yeah but Wang Zhi-Zhi was drafted in 99. How can he not make any draft he is in the best?

    Don't forget about the '92 draft:

    Shaq
    Mourning
    Sprewell
    Horry
    Wizard

    '94
    G. Robinson
    Jason Kidd
    Grant Hill
    Juwan Howard
    Brian Grant
    Eddie Jones
    Jalen Rose

    '95
    Garnett
    McDyess
    Stackhouse
    Wallace
    Finley
    Stoudamire
    Ratliff
    Best

    None of these can rival '96 though. Hands down, the deepest draft of the 90's

    I think that the 2000 draft is obviously the best draft of the '90's... [​IMG]
