    Which of the following combo of players would you start a team with if given the opportunity? I picked the top two players drafted in the second round each year from 1997-2002...

    Carlos Boozer #35 (2002)
    Ronald Murray #42 (2002)

    Gilbert Arenas #31 (2001)
    Mehmet Okur #38 (2001)

    Marco Jaric #30 (2000)
    Michael Redd #43 (2000)

    Gordan Giricek #40 (1999)
    Emmanuel Ginobili #57 (1999)

    Rashard Lewis #32 (1998)
    Cuttino Mobley #41 (1998)

    I'm assuming that "1998" is going to dominate most of the choices, but give the other years a fair shake.

    Personally, I like 2002...

    Interesting. Yea, I would agree with '98 but the sad part is that we couldve gotten BOTH of them :(

    I would agree with 2002.

    I just think that it is pretty cool that two of my favorite non-Rocket players in the NBA (Ginobili, Arenas) were drafted in the second round and have become stars in a relatively short amount of time.

    Look how many were drafted by good teams almost as 'futures', 40%.

    One or the others growth through the system wouldn't have been the same, and they probably would never have been able to show their potential.

    Here are my rankings. I went with one bigger star over two good players. I also admit no love for Murray (to few games to judge by)

    1998
    2001 This was close to #1
    2000
    1999
    2002
