ESPN insider也有一個mock draft的專欄,
就是用現在各球員的成就,
排出一個事後諸葛版的選秀順位:
1. Philadelphia Allen Iverson Kobe Bryant
In one of the great draft moves in history, the Lakers traded Vlade
Divac to Charlotte for Bryant, who the Hornets had just selected with the
No. 13 pick. Normally one would say L.A. overpaid by giving up Divac for
a mid-first-rounder, but not in this case. Meanwhile, the Sixers passed
up the chance to keep Kobe in his hometown.
2. Toronto Marcus Camby 迳 Allen Iverson
Beats out Bryant in MVPs, scoring titles and jersey sales but lags
well behind in the things that win games. Iverson's 41.8 percent shooting
can't match Kobe's 45.2 percent, and Kobe's advantage in True Shooting
Percentage is even greater.
3. Vancouver(Memphis) Shareef Abdur-Rahim迳Ray Allen
The Bucks traded Stephon Marbury to get the "lesser" player in Allen,
but I doubt they're upset about the trade. He's been a reliable All-Star-
caliber performer but amazingly was only the third-best shooting guard
in his class.
4. Milwaukee Stephon Marbury迳Jermaine O'Neal
O'Neal's best seasons are slightly better than Allen's, but he's had
far fewer of them because he was stuck on the pine in Portland for so
long. Still, it's rare for the best big man in a draft class to be
selected with the 17th overall pick, so kudos to the Blazers for that.
5. Minnesota Ray Allen迳Stephon Marbury
Players No. 5 through 9 on this list may surprise you, because they run
counter to how the players are perceived today. In general, it's best to
understand the rankings not by asking "Who is better right now?" but
rather
"Who has been better to have since 1996?" For instance, Steve
Nash was undeniably better than Marbury last season. But for the first
five years of his career, Nash was a secondary player while Marbury was a
star. So would you rather draft Marbury and get 18 and 8 right away or
take Nash and wait six years for him to become an All-Star? Marbury
outrated Nash in his first five seasons, and in four of them the
difference was enormous. His career PER still comfortably tops Nash, and
he's been more durable, too.
6. Boston Antoine Walker迳Shareef Abdur-Rahim
This may surprise you even more than the Marbury rating, but Abdur-
Rahim produced immediately (18.7 ppg as a rookie), stayed at a high
level (career averages of 19.8 ppg and 8.1 rpg) and, until last year,
never got hurt. As a result, he has a higher career PER than all but the
top three players on the 1996 list and ranks fourth from his class in
minutes played. 'Reef takes a lot of unfair abuse for not making the
playoffs, but he wasn't the one choosing his teammates.
7. L.A. Clippers Lorenzen Wright迳Steve Nash
His past three seasons are better than anything that Marbury and
Abdur-Rahim have done, but his overall contribution still falls short
compared to theirs. If I were Minnesota and had today's salary cap rules
on my side (so that Marbury couldn't have forced his way out so easily),
I still would have preferred the immediate juice from Marbury to the long
lag time with Nash
8. New Jersey Kerry Kittles Peja Stojakovic
From 1996 to 2001, a few smart teams realized they could draft
international players in the first round and get huge talents at
discount prices. Stojakovic, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Dirk Nowitzki, Andrei
Kirilenko, Manu Ginobili, Primoz Brezec, Hedo Turkoglu, Marko Jaric,
Pau Gasol and Vladimir Radmanovic were all obtained this way, but the
trend suddenly careened off the tracks with the selection of Nikoloz
Tskitishvili in 2002.
9. Dallas Samaki Walker Ben Wallace
Big Ben went undrafted, but that was clearly an oversight. The three-
time defensive player of the year could arguably rank higher – and
probably would but for his miserable offensive output. Nonetheless, it's
safe to say Dallas would have preferred Wallace at No. 9 to its actual
pick – Samaki Walker.
10. Indiana Erick Dampier Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Yet another All-Star-caliber player from the 1996 draft and the third
star big man to be snubbed in the lottery. Ilgauskas went 20th overall
to the Cavs in '96 and he wasn't even their favorite pick – Cleveland
had taken Vitaly Potapenko at No. 12.
11. Golden State Todd Fuller Antoine Walker
It's unusual for a three-time All-Star to only be the 11th-best player
from a draft class. But then again, it's rare for a single draft to
produce 11 All-Stars, and Walker is pretty clearly the worst of the 11.
12. Cleveland Vitaly Potapenko Marcus Camby
On a per-minute basis, Walker can't light a candle to Camby.
Unfortunately, Camby's availability has been an issue. Since the Raptors
selected him with the second overall pick, Cotton Camby has barely played
half as many minutes as Walker thanks to a stunning variety of injuries.
13. Charlotte(New Orleans) Kobe Bryant Kerry Kittles
The eighth overall pick, Kittles would have justified that selection in
almost any other draft. He beat out several other quality players –
including Erick Dampier, Malik Rose, Jerome Williams and Derek Fisher –
to grab the final lottery spot in this exercise.
總結一下,
ESPN 編輯群們是以過去十年來的表現來評論,
而不是最近三年,
所以Steve Nash就只排到了No.7
而默默付出, 本梯的鐵人Abdur-Rahim並沒被忘記,
至於個人則要小小替AI叫個屈,
費城在以他為中心, 快速走出重建期, 擠身東區列強並問鼎過總冠軍後,
在無數次的被擊倒-重新爬起後,
在奔馳的Phila#3球衣幾乎已成城市icon之後,
似乎也不能說AI虧欠費城什麼了,
這也讓我想到一代中鋒Patrick Ewing球衣在Madison Square Garden退休那天,
我看到令人五味雜陳的兩句話:
"沒有哪個球員虧欠一個城市, 像Ewing虧欠紐約這麼多, "
---以他為中心重建這麼久, 身旁名帥副手來來去去, 始終與冠軍無緣...
"但也沒有哪一個城市虧欠一個球員, 能像紐約虧欠Ewing這麼多"
---刻薄的媒體, 毫不包容的噓聲, 從未間斷的批評, 諷刺地在他受傷時演出
老八傳奇...
Btw,
黃金96真的越看越有the great 84 class的味道,
裡面提到最好的射手之一: Ray Allen,
"但令人訝異的是,
他只是這個選秀會上第三好的得分後衛"
提到剛打進Final的Antoine Walker,
"一個三屆全明星, 只排到No.11是有點怪異,
但你看過有哪一梯出產了11個全明星?"
二十啷噹的我們,
孺慕地抓到84的尾巴, 目睹96一路走來, 現在又看到03的爆長,
很幸運!
不是嗎?!
