If Parker declares, this will most definitely be the best draft since 2003

1. Wiggins
2. Embiid
3. Parker
4. Exum
5. Gordon
6. Randle
7. Smart

I think beating the 2008 draft will be very hard in terms of top tier talent and depth in hindsight...
Rose
Love
Westbrook
Hibbert
Lopez x2
Serge Ibaka
Dragic
Batum
Pekovic
DeAndre Jordan
The often injured, yet potentially very productive Eric Gordon + Gallinari
Ryan Anderson
Omer Asik
George Hill
JJ Hickson
Courtney Lee
Javale McGee

Beat that depth in starter material and star talent upfront...

I also think people totally overrate the 2003 class a lot due to LeBron being part of it...

2003:
LeBron
Wade
Melo
Bosh

nothing for a long time

David West

nothing again

Boris Diaw
3 productive years of Kaman, Josh Howard, Mo Williams and Kendrick Perkins
Kyle Korver
Kirk Hinrich

All the starter level talent
After that there's some quality reserves like Zaza Pachulia, Luke Ridnour, Barbosa, Delfino and Steve Blake...
That's basically 4 superstars, 1 fringestar and a couple of starters. Not a very good draft after 5 ...

How can you overrate the "Bron, Wade, Bosh, Mello" Quadruplets???

How can you underrate the quality and depth of 2008?

bron - top 5 greatest, freak of all freaks
wade - top 5 greatest SG, one of the greatest title run, sick peak numbers
melo - top 5 greatest scorer
bosh - perennial all star

not overrated at all. bosh as #1 option was legit top 10 player too. it's all about the stars.

2008 is legit, but come on man. it ain't 2003.

Did Calipari let the team down in the final minutes?


You guys be the judge...

What let down the UK team was their FT shooting. They shoot 75 percent they are national champions.

even though Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk is '97 born he might play in the NCAA's next year... GO GET'EM CAL!!

 

[Game6Conley]

if he and Hezonja are in the draft next year, and Jabari stays, maybe WCS and the Harrison's stay

the 2015 draft starts to look MUCH better
