    Man there should be a Rafeal Aruajo award: The player who gets picked the highest and who doesn't deserve to be picked at all.
    These years winner is no other than the Raptors Rafeal Aruajo. No wonder why Vince wants to be traded, he doesn't want to be on no janitors team.

    I have one problem with your list CR2, why is Shaun Livingston the highschooler most likely to succeed when you think Dwight Howard will be ROY? But the rest of your list I pretty much agree with [​IMG]

    some idiot said that Josh Smith would be a bad player but, he must not have ever seen him play, he has better ups than anybody in the nba (ecept lebron)
    and can throw in down at any time plus he plays great defense, he will be a great player in the future

    And Ben Gordon is not going to average 10 dimes a game. Ever.

    Surprising that his picks were done pretty late too. How can you call Al Jefferson a bust?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting ObieCent:</div><div class="quote_post">I have one problem with your list CR2, why is Shaun Livingston the highschooler most likely to succeed when you think Dwight Howard will be ROY? But the rest of your list I pretty much agree with [​IMG]</div>
    I dunno... why do have two categories that aren't mutually exclusive then? The way I originally read it is 'rookie of the year'. You can only win that once. Shaun Livingston I predict will be more succesful in the long term. Contrast that with Mike Miller and Damon Stoudamire who have been kind of disappointing Rookie of the Years versus the other players in their draft years who have gone on to be all-stars.

    Also I was wrong about Josh Smith. Oopsie! And looks like Emeka Okafor is ROY. I was originally hoping Dwight Howard would be an exact clone of Amare Stoudamire.
