Had me thinking. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be an NBA GM with the number one draft pick, because I think I would do a poor job. These are the guys I though should be the number one picks.

2007: Greg Oden (still could be right about that one)
2006: Brandon Roy
2005: Chris Paul
2004: Emeka Okafor (man I really missed on Dwight Howard)
2003: Lebron James (however, I only pick him on marketing reasons. You could not pass on him for that reason alone. On talent I would have drafted Wade)
2002: Caron Butler
2001: Eddie Griffin (This would have been the all time draft bust if I was picking here. Not sure what the Hell I was thinking)
2000: Kenyon Martin (Also, I had a really tough decision over whether Quintin Richardson or Martin should go first)
1999: Andre Miller
1998: Tim Duncan

So there you have it, proof why I shouldn't be an NBA GM. I'm not sure anyone will stack up much better.

These are who I thought should be drafted:
1997- Tim Duncan
1998- Antawn Jamison
1999- Jonathan Bender
2000- Marcus Fizer- man he was a beast in college.
2001- Eddie Griffin- I am with you, I loved this kid in college and thought he would be an absolute stud in the NBA.
2002- Yao Ming- you cant teach size, however I did like Jay Williams as well as Dajuan Wagner
2003- Lebron James
2004- Emeka Okafor
2005- Sean May- I knew he would be undersized but after that tourney run I thought he would be special.
2006- Rudy Gay
2007- Greg Oden- see Yao Ming.

Dajuan Wagner looked like he combined all of Iverson's and Marbury's best attributes coming out of college. What a shame his career has been.

Exactly what I was thinking. Two 100 point games in highschool, he was unstoppable.
