All-Draft Teams?

[Abctest123]

alright, heres what your suppose to do. you take ANY draft class you want, and create a full lineup with only players from that class. You do not need to have a full 15 player lineup, but i prefer you name up to atleast 4-5 bench players. preferably, dont just pick just the top 9 and 10 players, but pick your bench out also for position subs (ie. 2003 draft, you can have like up to 3 point guards on the bench, but that wont do you any good in real life). heres one for example, draft class 2003:

C-Zaza Pachulia/Chris Kaman
PF-Chris Bosh
SF-Carmelo Anthony/Lebron James
SG-Lebron James/Dwyane Wade
PG-Dwyane Wade/Kirk Hinrich

Bench
Kirk Hinrich (if he doesnt start)
Josh Howard
David West
Boris Diaw
Chris Kaman
TJ Ford

IR
Luke Ridnour
Mo Williams
Mikeal Pietrus

As you can see with this draft, it has depth all the way down to the injured reserve. The point guards after hinrich can all switch places on roster, as this draft had quite a few good pgs.

Cool idea!

1996-
PG- Allen Iverson/Steve Nash/Stephon Marbury
SG- Kobe Bryant/Ray Allen
SF- Peja Stojakovic/Antoine Walker
PF- Jermaine O'Neal/Shareef Abdur-Rahim/

Best draft of all time!

it includes 0 NBA champs, 0 MVP's and 5 guys you mentioned havent even made the playoffs.

1994
Brian Grant/Manute Bol
Juwan Howard/ Donyell Marshall
Grant Hill/Jalen Rose/Glenn Robinson
Eddie Jones/Voshon Lenard
Jason Kidd/Aaron McKie

the rest is pretty much ass!

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

it includes 0 NBA champs, 0 MVP's and 5 guys you mentioned havent even made the playoffs.

I would be surprised if it was any different. Two years is not such a long time. It might one day prove to be the best draft of all, though. So far, the honor sticks with teh 1984 one.

If you could remember back at NBA Live 2004, I made a 'Draft Class' patch. That was fun...
