1. Chicago Real Pick: Elton Brand ESPN Pick: Elton Brand Selecting between Kirilenko and Brand for the top place is quite challenging, but while Brand was providing a double-double to the Bulls immediately, therefore he's the pick Kirilenko remained in Russia for two decades. 2. Vancouver ( Memphis ) Real Pick: Steve Francis ESPN Pick: Andrei Kirilenko The No. 2-4 choose to Utah was among the most useful choices in current draft record. He's only produced one All-Star team but is just a renowned stat-sheet stuffer who twice had a "5x5" (five or even more factors, helps, bargains, boards and blocks) in 2003-04. 3. Charlotte ( New Orleans ) Real Pick: Baron Davis ESPN Pick: Shawn Marion The GMs didn't mess this draft up. Of the very first 10 picks in the 1999 draft, eight converted into the 10th and great people (Jonathan Bender) would have also or even for knee issues. Marion, at No. 9, was perhaps much better than most. 4. L.A. Clippers Real Pick: Lamar Odom ESPN Pick: Manu Ginobili Taken from the Spurs with the pick in-the draft, Ginobili has served San Antonio to 2 games in his three NBA seasons. Placing him ahead of the next four stage guards was a difficult call but his maximum is greater than the others' and he's the greatest opponent of the lot. 5. Toronto Real Pick: Jonathan Bender ESPN Pick: Steve Francis The 2nd general pick shared Rookie of-the Year honors with Brand but is a minor disappointment since. He's built three All-Star teams, but never fully understood working the purpose. 6. Minnesota Actual Pick: Wally Szczerbiak ESPN Pick: Andre Miller He light emitting diode the league in helps at Cleveland and then converted into more of the rating point guard using the Nuggets. Let's only overlook that year with the Clippers actually occurred. 7. Washington Actual Pick: Richard Hamilton ESPN Pick: Baron Davis Davis was still another difficult participant to position. He's been much better than Francis or Miller, when healthier, but he's been hurt so frequently the other two still have offered more worth. 8. Cleveland Actual Pick: Andre Miller ESPN Pick: Jason Terry Like Francis, he's a guard that has perhaps not created around a passer, even though Terry is less inclined to dribble out the shot clock. Nevertheless, his defensive disadvantages harm his position. 9. Phoenix Real Pick: Shawn Marion ESPN Pick: Lamar Odom Might rank greater if he'd not been hurt therefore much using the Clippers, and if areas of his profession hadn't increased in smoke, because of his pot insides. 10. Atlanta Real Pick: Jason Terry ESPN Pick: Corey Maggette You could argue that Maggette must rank in front of Odom since he's had back-to-back 20-point months, however it is hard-to price Maggette higher whenever a) he was Odom's copy and b) he represents simply no protection. 1-1. Cleveland Real Pick: Trajan Langdon ESPN Pick: Richard Hamilton Rip's 17.2 per sport career scoring average is remarkable, however it may be the only class where he provides. In a draft this powerful, that relegates him to No. 1-1 despite his crucial position on the championship team. 12. Toronto Real Pick: Aleksandar Radojevic ESPN Pick: Ron Artest Since in his most useful period, 2003-04, he was greatly better than all-but the most effective three people, artest is very difficult to position. Both items that hurt him are: a) his other months weren't nearly as remarkable, and b) he's, let's say, unreliable. If Artest returns and puts together two more months like 2003-04, he'll go way up the record. 1-3. Seattle Real Pick: Corey Maggette ESPN Pick: Wally Szczerbiak Szczerbiak is the last constant scorer using this draft after him there's a to Jeff Fosters and the Kenny Thomases of-the world. Wally World's one All-Star choice was a laugh, but 5-0 % profession firing from the guard is nothing to sneeze at.
