riously just considering people who were taken within 3 and maybe even at the time were more obvious picks. Here I goC- Joakim Noah- 2007 Went 9th overall, we picked Yi Jianlian at 6, also another mystery who people weren't sure... Noah wasn't a stretch to think about
PF- Brook Lopez- 2008 Draft- went 10th Alexander went 8th, was considered too early to pick at the time
SF-Luc Mbah A Moute- 2008 liked the pick, great defender, shocking starter however the way it worked he was the only 3 on the squad from the last few draft
s.SG-Monta Ellis- Picked 4 after Ersan Illyasova, who has turned into a good pick but Ellis is a lot better.
PG- Chris Paul- 2005 Draft, we picked Bogut number 1, not saying Paul was the obvious pick but maybe a safer pick. Bogut is a nice center and don't mind but Chris Paul is a superstar. At the time though Marvin Williams was other option and glad the Bucks didn't pick him. Another thing though, we probably wouldn't have Paul long term, we do have Bogut long-term.
Bench- Brandon Jennings- 2009 Draft we got the steal of the draft, Jennings still has a lot to prove but is off to a great start
Bench- Ramon Sessions- 2007, good late pick for the Bucks
Bench- Leon Powe- 2006 picked David Noel a little bit earlier, Powe was a good pick maybe a stretch the Bucks would have picked him
This is very silly to do I agree... To just pick the best players from the draft we didn'
t pick but seriously these were all picks within a few of ours. I am not saying we would NBA All Star team if Larry Harris was better. But we are not picking Joe Alexander and Yi away from being closer to the top of the East. With a game like basketball every player you add to your team can have such a difference.I just thought this would be fun to see. However, it also shows we have had some good picks. We drafted 3 players that were best available. Also it seems Hammonds has a good eye for players so maybe in 5 years we will see how good all our picks will be.
