This was like the 2000 NBA Draft. There were almost no right answers in this round. This is strange, considering that this was where you were supposed to find your 5th starter.
Nicely done IP, and I’m never going to argue too strongly with anyone that wants to applaud one of my choices. But here’s a quick alternate take anyway:
Round 5Best Pick:
The Walker Wiggle (28 ) Russell Westbrook (That’s right!) and
Indeed Proceed (30) it’s just
Nene now, have already been mentioned. So how about dark horse candidates
Donoghus (22) Andrea Bargnani, who if he can make another similar step forward this season, should be worth every dollar of his $10 million per extension. Or
Jsaad (26) Troy Murphy another player who had a career best year.
Worst Pick: This round was a minefield, which ought to be apparent by the fact that there were three times as many nominations for Worst Pick as for Honorable Mention. I may be a soft touch but I’m willing to give
Eddy Curry (21) Edgar a pass on last season, which means the dishonor goes to
Big Al The Future (20) Steve Francis because I’m now under the impression that Stevie is retired but I don’t even know if that’s correct… Still take your choice:
Celtics Maestro (2) Rashad McCants,
Celtic Maestro again, (14) Darko Milicic,
Donoghus (24) Kyle Korver,
Scibbles (27) Beno Udrih. The motto of the 5th round? DRAFT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
