    vs
    1999- Brand, Francis, Baron, Odom, Wally, RIP, Dre Miller, Shawn Marion, Terry, Maggette, Artest, Kirilenko

    Lebron>Brand. Francis>Melo. Baron>Bosh. Wade>Odom. Hinrich>Wally. Ridnour=RIP, Dre>>Barbosa. Marion>>JoshHoward. Terry>>Walton. Maggette>>>Blake. Artest>>>Green. Kirilenko>the rest.

    win goes to 1999 15-3


    1998- Kandi, Bibby, LaFrentz, Jamison, Vince Carter, Jason Williams, Hughes, Dirk, Paul Pierce, Bonzi Wells, Harpring, Ricky Davis, Al Harrington, Nazr, Rashard Lewis, Rafer Alston, Mobley

    1996- Iverson, Camby, Rahim, Marbury, Ray Allen, Toine Walker, Lorenzen Wright, Dampier, Kobe, Peja, Nash, Jermaine O'Neal, Illgauskas, Fisher, Jerome Williams, McInnis, Malik Rose, Shandon Anderson

    Iverson>>Kandi. Bibby>Camby. Reef=LaFrentz. Marbury>Jamison. Allen=VC. Toine>Jwill. Hughes>>Wright. Dirk>>>Dampier. Kobe>Pierce. Peja>>Bonzi. Nash>>Harpring. Jermaine>RDavis. Illgauskas>>Harrington. Fisher=Nazr. Lewis>>>Jerome. Rafer>McInnis. Mobley>last2

    win goes to 1996 12-11


    1999 vs 1996. for the sake of this one...i'm limiting it to the top 12, since that's all 1999 has.

    1996- Iverson, Camby, Rahim, Marbury, Ray Allen, Toine Walker, Dampier, Kobe, Peja, Nash, Jermaine O'Neal, Illgauskas

    1999- Brand, Francis, Baron, Odom, Wally, RIP, Dre Miller, Shawn Marion, Terry, Maggette, Artest, Kirilenko

    Iverson>Brand. Francis>Camby. Baron>Reef. Marbury>Odom. Allen>>Wally. Toine>Rip. Dre>Dampier. Kobe>Marion. Peja>Terry. Nash>Maggette. Jermaine>Artest. Kirilenko>Illgauskas.

    1996 wins 9-4.

    so...in my opinion, which all of this is. 1996 had the best draft.
    though an argument could be made for 1998 as well.





    ----
    1995- Joe Smith, McDyess, Stackhouse, Sheed Wallace, Garnett, Stoudamire, Kurt Thomas, Corliss, Brent Barry, Sura, Ratliff, Finley, Snow --- automatically out IMO for lack of top notch talent. garnett makes, or made, the t-wolves solid, but not the draft.

    i voted 96. but i think 99 is pretty close. And we do not know yet how good 2003 will be.
    but 84 is the best
