Some of these picks should be judged on who else was available. If you get a role player with a high pick, but the draft class is weak, it's not necessarily a bad pick.

[@kylesylvester5635]

100 percent like when he was talking about bargnani there was only one player in the top 15 picks of that draft to make an all star team and that was Aldridge and when you look at players they could of reasonable picked it wasn’t a bad pick at all just a very weak class

[@KingLeoXV]

very true. also Kobe for best pick by the hornets doesn't make sense. same goes for bill Russel. I get they are the best player. the title just makes it misleading. I would also even give ginobili the nod as best pick by the spurs. Duncan was a no brainer. not like this was genius drafting. just smart use of an injury season that resulted in 20 years of excellence

[@gmwdim]

Jonny Flynn at #6 is an even worse pick when you consider what a deep draft it was for point guards. They could have had Steph Curry, Jrue Holiday, Jeff Teague, Ty Lawson, Brandon Jennings or Darren Collison instead - and that's just point guards.

I’m disagreeing with your Orlando Magic worst pick. Mike Miller won rookie of the year and is arguably the best player in that 2000 draft. I’d say worst picks would be Michael Doleac 12 in 1998, Courtney Alexander 13 in 2000, Fran Vazquez 11 in 2005 and never came over.

I took issue with that too, but the fact that Reed was a 2nd round guy and was as good as he was maybe makes the pick more impressive. Getting a player I’d consider as an all-time great in the second round is far less likely than getting a great like Walt or Ewing as high picks which I’m pretty sure they both were (certain about Ewing, unsure about Walt).

@@TheIcemanthomas well it’s really a matter of interpretation. If the question simply is the best player selected by every team then yeah it’s Ewing or Frazier (though I’d make an argument for Reed over Frazier), but if you’re looking at the quality of a pick, it’s far more savvy and better value from the selection to get Reed in the second round then Frazier or Ewing as high lottery picks.

If you're going to pick the worst picks considering how high their position was, then picking the best picks should also consider their pick position. That means Jokic is undoubtedly a better pick than Melo. For a 2nd round pick, this guy has gotten so much value and Melo, well he'll most likely end up a HoF but his pick was already so high in the draft and has performed beyond what's expected of a 3rd pick, but Jokic played WAY BEYOND what's expected of a 41st pick. The fact that it's even an argument on who's to be picked there should mean that Jokic should easily get that.

Eddy Curry averaged 16 ppg for the bulls one season and 19 ppg for the knicks another season, he also lead the league in fg% one year and was a nba champion with the 2012 miami heat, he finished with a 13 ppg avg in 11 season. The year prior the bulls drafted Marcus Fizer also at 4th overall, who only played 6 seasons in the league and finished with a 9.6 ppg avg

@@soulmaticxx4978 Better outside shooter - Curry hands down. Better free throw shooter - Curry hands down. Better scorer - Wilt still owns 5 of the Top 10 SEASONS on PPG (1 2 3 5 and 7 or 1 2 3 4 6 depending on if you count Elgin Baylor's 1961-1962 48 games played in the season). Curry's best year doesn't even crack the Top 25. Better rebounder - *ROFLMAO* Wilt would ask if Curry even rebounds. Better defender - like there's a question? No, Stephan is nowhere near Wilt overall, no bloody WAY can he be counted as "better" - though given his pick position, he might be able to try to argue vs THAT.

[@aesir1ases64]

The only reason anyone would say that is because we never saw Wilt playing, the most dominant player in the history of this league, by far. Curry is hella good but he aint close to this kind of level.
