    Just curious which team ya'll would rather have between the best players from the last 10 drafts(ex '00):

    95-99 vs 90-94
    Steve Francis Gary Payton
    Kobe Bryant Steve Smith
    Vince Carter Grant Hill
    Kevin Garnett Chris Webber
    Tim Duncan Shaquille O'Neal

    I think this is the most even matched starting 5 in the league. The former looks to be all-nba team in 5 years. I'd say all the players were the best of their class with Smith being the only variable from '91.

    The 95-99 team now, and mainly for the future. That is one strong team there, that like you said is definitely an All-NBA team in probably shorter than 5 years.

    One more oddity with those two teams. Anyone else realize that only three of those 10 players were #1 picks? (Webber, Shaq, Duncan)

    Looking for next year's Dan Langhi?

    Both very strong teams. Scary to think that Alonzo Mourning, Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson, Shareef Abdur-Rahiim and Stephon Marbury couldn't even crack the starting 5!

    Azim,

    Wait, we still need 2 more players to fill out the roster. How about Iverson for instant offense off the bench & Mourning for some cheap fouls & we could put 2 of the remaining 3 on the injury list. [​IMG]
