Now that we know a lot about the '05 draftees and can better project their future successes, how would you re-do the draft? Take team's needs at the time into considerations, because that's the difference between a draft and a list. I'll start it out - 1. Milwaukee - Chris Paul 2. Atlanta -
Andrew Bynum at 4 BTW a comparasion. Bynum: PPG 12.5 RPG 10.1 APG 1.6 SPG 0.4 BPG 2.1 FG% 0.625 FT% 0.667 3P% 0.000 MPG 29.0 Williams: PPG 16.8 RPG 5.7 APG 1.9 SPG 1.2 BPG 0.4 FG% 0.503 FT% 0.788 3P% 0.333 MPG 36.7 Williams scores slightly more but plays seven more minutes. Bynum has the advantage over Williams in every other category except steals and free throw shooting.

I'd take Andrew Bogut over both. 1) Milwaukee - Chris Paul 2) Atlanta - Deron Williams 3) Utah - Marvin Williams (for some reason, even though they had AK47 coming off a great year) 4) New Orleans - Andrew Bynum 5) Charlotte - Danny Granger 6) Portland - Monta Ellis 7) Toronto - Andrew Bogut <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Have you watched Marvin, his upside is unreal.

Besides, did you just bring up upside when comparing him to one of the youngest players in the league?

New York - Raymond Felton 9. Golden State - Sean May (would have opted for a guy like Webster, McCants, or Gracia, but they needed a big) Next on the clock: Los Angeles Lakers
So you'd give them a guy who is found to have horribly chronically bad knees and will be lucky to make it 5 full seasons in the league? Would rather have Maxiell 30x over than May.
Isn't this supposed to be a re-do?? Sean May would go undrafted if we had this draft today. We should do that pick again.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>So you're ruling out a recovery?</div> I'm saying that no GM would draft May with the current information available, not predicting the future.
