2003 had James, Wade, and Anthony. 2007 had Durant. But beyond that, it seems like 2007 might have been the deeper draft?
:clap:you forgot Bosh....thats 4 star players with 2 forsure HOFers in Bron/Wade
2003 also had Hinrich, Kaman, David West among others who all produced and had good careers
Idk if I would call Corey Brewer a bust...he is a solid defender if nothing else. He's had some decent years with Minnesota. I'd call him average.Is this for real?

lol i knew your post would be about Ill Will
you're as predicable about DePaul stuff as me when it comes to Ben Gordon
Idk if I would call Corey Brewer a bust...he is a solid defender if nothing else. He's had some decent years with Minnesota. I'd call him average.
Scooters analysis is laughable. I especially like the highly specific and specific terms like "solid". So much to go by with that. Lol
2003 was extremely top heavy. In 2007 you could get someone like Marc Gasol well into the second round. I also found it interesting that, even with Oden busting, 2007 was the draft for post players with Horford, Noah, and Gasol. If you want a wing 2003 is the better class even though 2007 had the 2nd best wing player.
For the #7 pick in the draft I'd say so. But average probably is a better way to put it given he has had some good to him.
Sorry, I didnt have time to go into depth with everything last night. Didn't feel I needed to anyways. I feel overall 2003 is better than 2007, while you do have a point on a wing vs post players in those two drafts, there's just been more to develop out of 2003.
The numbers don't support your theory what so ever. Is Wilson better than Hinrich now? Yes. Has he had a more productive career at this point? Nope. I'm not even a Hinrich fan, I personally wish the Bulls had never brought him back.Wilson Chandler has been a better player than Hinrich. I don't care if you over esteem Hinrich but then that means other players, like Chandler and Sessions are then elevated.
China and the 2011 NBA lockout[edit]
In August 2011, in the midst of an NBA lockout, Chandler signed with the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association. With Zhejiang Guangsha, he plays under former Dallas Mavericks head coach Jim Cleamons. About his decision, Chandler said, "Maybe I'll lose out, but I think it can be a great experience. I haven't been in any [labor negotiation] meetings. I can't call it. I'm just taking a risk, at the end of the day."[16] His deal didn't have an out-clause, which meant that Chandler wouldn't return until after the All-Star break.[17] Had Chandler not signed with a Chinese team, he would have been a restricted free agent. Zhejiang Guangsha attempted to put more NBA talent around Chandler by signing Earl Clark, but Clark asked to leave the team due to family reasons.[18] They later attempted to sign Tyson Chandler, but he declined the team's offer.[19] In his debut, Wilson Chandler scored 43 points along with 22 rebounds and 4 assists in 50 minutes in a 118-115 double overtime win over Tianjin Ronggang.[20] Chandler followed his debut performance by recording 28 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists against Qingdao DoubleStar in a 111-94 win.[21] Chandler recorded 42 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals in Zhejiang Guangsha's first loss against the Shangdong Lions.[22] With the help of Chandler, the Lions ended up reaching the playoffs to play against the Beijing Ducks in the first round. Unfortunately, he couldn't participate in the playoffs, and as a result, Zhejiang was swept by Beijing.
