New Jersey picked Jefferson, Collins and Brandon Armstrong as a condition of selecting and trading Eddie Griffin.
(They told Houston who to take as each pick came in)

New Jersey could have selected Jefferson, Randolph and Arenas (or Parker) and Mehmet Okur
(available at 35. New Jersey -Brian Scalabrine, F, Southern California;
38. Detroit -Mehmet Okur, F/C, Turkey)

C-Randolph
F-Martin

In the 2000 NBA Draft
http://espn.go.com/nba/draft00/rounds/round1.html

Pick 4 and picks 6-15 are suspect

taken at 16-19, 21, 30 & 43
16. Kings -Hidayet Turkoglu
17. Supersonics -Desmond Mason
18. Clippers -Quentin Richardson
19. Hornets -Jamaal Magloire
21. Raptors -Morris Peterson
30. Clippers -Marko Jaric
43. Bucks -Michael Redd

10. Magic -Keyon Dooling G Missouri
(from Denver)
Rights traded to Los Angeles Clippers, along with Corey Maggette and Derek Strong and cash considerations, for a future first-round draft pick

13. Magic -Courtney Alexander G Fresno State
Rights traded to Dallas for a future first-round pick and cash considerations

Orlando could have kept Dooling, Maggette and Courtney Alexander.
They also could have selected Jamaal Magloire and Michael Redd (or any of the above players available such as Turkoglu, Desmond Mason or
Quentin Richardson


1999 NBA Draft
Toronto took Aleksandar Radojevic 12th
Cleveland took Trajan Langdon 13th

available players passed on:

Corey Maggette
Ron Artest
Devean George
Andrei Kirilenko
Gordan Giricek

A person could go on for days listing this stuff, kind of thing Garrett wanted to begin with.

It's mostly all just 20/20 hindsight.
