Elton Brand was drafted ahead of Steve Francis. Who was Boozer drafted ahead of? Tiddo Maddox. That right there, says a lot. Or Not...
I was thinking of whether I should include this in my argument or not. One guy was supposed to be the next big star in the NBA and the other guy would have been lucky to even make an NBA rotation at one point. Now, we're having a discussion about who's better and it's basically a toss up.
But you knew this team didn't have a legit shot to go all the way. Losing to West Virginia isn't that bad (I picked WV to win the game). Losing to Belmont would have been humiliating.
Yep, I agree. When your center is a 6'7 SF, you are in trouble. Any inside rebounding presence would have helped. Brand, Boozer, Shelden Williams... Anyone!
