Zards I have to question your sanity. Even if you are judging by potential Dwight Howard has nothing on LeBron and Wade. What were yuo smoking when you made that list?
Oh, didn't pick that up. Then why the hell did he list the names with numbers beside them? I guess it was to show the 15 players... Oh well
I'll ask why you left Josh Howard off that list in favor of Caron Butler, Raymon Felton, Emeka Okafut(been good for them, but hasn't made that much of a different), and even Ben Gordon(who's been clutch, but has fallen off last year).Overall I like your list, in no particular order, Zards, just don't overlook Josh Howard as out of all those players, he's probably the second most important guy on the best team out of anyone listed on here. I'd put almost all those guys as better players than Josh Howard, but he's the only one that contributing to a actual contender other than Wade.
Are we going on potential? OR are we going on how good they've been.Because in that regard, none of those guys are on the same level.And maybe they have more potential, but I think Howard will max out his potential, when most guys barely scratch theirs...I can't beleive people actually hate on Josh Howard like he's a bum. Hell most, or all, of the teams, and their fans, that passed on Josh Howard should be kicking themselves, not trying to justify how other players are better.Josh has proved it so far. Those other guys haven't.Now if the question had been who has the most potential out of the last drafts, than the discussion is different.Heck, Darko could be considered in that discussion.
Caron has been better than Josh Howard. Emeka you can debate being better, and Ray Felton is not better (yet).

Caron Butler is a much better player than Josh Howard. Stop bein g such a god damned homer.
Howard was a steal in the 2003 Draft at the 28th pick, but still Caron is better than him in scoring, rebounding, and passing. Butler isnt much of a passer, but in the fastbreak, he makes good decisions. Also a beast on the boards, and can give you 20-30 a night. He's much more explosive than his 17 PPG average, and his jumpshot has improved alot.
Josh smith should be at bottom of the list he is improving rapidly into a shawn marion type. very versatile.. I dont know where okafor is... hopefully hes not another draft bust
I don't get how I'm being a homer for just stating an opinion, and not being off base for it.I mean if I said Devin Harris, or Podkolzin, than yeah, say I'm homer, I would be.But I do believe Josh Howard is in the discussion, and should be on a list of the best 15 players of the last few drafts.It's just my god damn opinion. Hell if you think I"m a homer, than evertime anyone says anything about their team, or their favorite player, than they are a homer too.Some of you guys are so stupid, I get tired of that homer <Censored> just because I don't agree with you.
