    Now I am not gonna say the 1990 draft class was the worst ever but it was horrible. They only had one legit nba star and that was Gary Payton.Notable players (I guess you can call them notable )Mahmoud Abdul-RaufGary PaytonDerrick ColemanDennis ScottKendall GillTyrone HillJayson WilliamsCedric Ceballosthe other 7 lottery picks picked along with those 8 mentioned above.there career averagesFelton Spencer- 5 ppg 5 rpgLionel Simmons-13 ppg 6 rpg but only lasted 7 seasonsBo Kimble- 5.5 ppgWillie Burton-10 ppgRumeal Robinson-7.6 ppg only lasted 6 seasonsAlec Kessler-5 ppg lasted 3 seasonsLoy Vaught-10 ppg 7 rpgTravis Mays-11 ppg lasted 3 nba seasons

    I can say this draft class is pretty weak also. But everyone knows that already. LOL

    Wow that is a crappy class. I think I remember that draft too somehow. Me and my dad were exited about Bo Kimble but I think it was just LA homerism. Eh I was like 3 or 4.

But it's not a very good draft, and no franchise players your right. That's what I was trying to say.

    The class of 2000. Only 1 all-star in the first round(martin). The second round gives you Redd(second round, also an all-star)

    Travis and Lionel could of had some nice careers if they kept on playing. Seemed like pretty good stats. Nothing spectacular but, fairly good.

    2004 has a chance. Pretty sh*tty when Rafael Raujo is taken at Number 8. It wont amount to much except Dwight Howard, Luol Deng, Andre Iguodala and possibly someone like Josh Smith or Ben Gordon or Emeka. Also 2006 could be pretty bad. I dont know though, I dont study old draft classes. This is just from memory.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CB4AllStar @ Jul 2 2006, 08:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Ntice that there are no superstars there except Dwight.</div>So your saying a draft isn't great unless there's a lot of superstars??? Still it has a lot of players who can be all stars and a lot of solid players. I mean the '99 draft has no true superstars but its probably the second best draft in the past 10 years. 2004 was a great draft IMO and has a lot of good players. BTW Dnok Im not sure where your getting the idea that this '06 draft will come out w/ a lot of superstars. I mean theres a lot of players that got drafted that could become all stars and solid players but I only see three players w/ actual superstar potential and those three are Andrea Bargnani, Rudy Gay, and Tyrus Thomas. Players like Adam Morrison, Brandon Roy, Randy Foye, Lamarcus Aldridge, etc. I feel will be solid players an all of them including other players from this draft could be all stars but I don't see any fo them w/ the potential of being a superstar.Maybe you and I just have a different idea of what a superstar is though.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Ntice that there are no superstars there except Dwight.</div> There were a ton of great HS products to come out of this draft. So you can't just say Dwight will be the only star. You have to give it time!!

    Luol Deng and Iguodala have potential, but I doubt they will become potent superstars. Not much here. Quite a few bench players and average starters though..
