ObeySteve 01-03-2005, 09:19 PM Isn't it amazing how the top draft picks each year end up being the best players in the end in the NBA? It's completely different from the crapshoot drafts of the NHL and MLB, and NFL to a less extent. Bobby Ryan Getzlaf 01-03-2005, 09:32 PM I'll rank my top five(in order): Emeka Okafor Dwight Howard Flash Gordon Luol Deng Devin Harris Dark Knight 01-03-2005, 09:53 PM Matt Bonner ;) hehe... nawww Emeka Okafor, easily. he'll be soo valuable to the Bobcats. No offense to Orlando but they should have taken Okafor with the first.

No offense to Orlando but they should have taken Okafor with the first. He should be on the all rookie team for sure... who would have thought a big white guy would play so well? :lol Safir* 01-04-2005, 07:45 AM Okafor no doubt!!! leafaholix* 01-04-2005, 07:47 AM Rafael Araujo. tripledekehockey 01-04-2005, 10:27 AM Okafor Lessy 01-04-2005, 02:41 PM Okafor by a miiile. Donga 01-05-2005, 09:55 AM i definitly saw him becoming an Alonzo Mourning type when he was drafted and i think hes definitly on that track maybe not quite as offensively gifted though i totally agree with the comparisons with Zo. I think you might be surprise with his offensive abilities. His footwork is too good not to have his offense improve with good coaching especially in the post. I'm not saying he is going to be a Garnett but he will be better than Zo in his prime offensively. As another poster said, Mek by a MILE!!!
