Seems that everybody you rated, you gave them a rather high grade.
Rubio, Hasheem and Henderson were/are not nearly as good as projected.

Rubio is awful. Can't score and gambles too much on defense. First step is terrible too. I thought he'd at least be able to get to the basket, so I was say off too in my own assesment.

Henderson is a journeyman, 8th man on any given team.

Thabeet was too soft to amount to anything. He really should have been better.

.
That title is bothering me a little bit too. Can you change it to '...I had written' or '...I wrote'?

On the low the 2009 draft was pretty good and has given us some stars and some role players. Maybe not on par with the draft classes of 84 96 or 2003 but right under there.

We all know that now. Thabeet was drafted 2nd so he was highly Sault after. Henderson is a player even Michael Jordan felt could be special but it never happened.

A lot of scouts liked and didn't like Rubio. We can all say that European scouting has improved since the late 2000s.

It's my top 10, so of course I am higher on them then others. I really love Lawson and Henderson. I really liked Curry and Blair and was in love with Jennings at the time.

Since the game has gotten more team oriented, I am not longer as high on iso guys as I was then. I still rate the guys I covet highly.

Teague in the first half of his Sophomore season at Wake was on a tear and I thought he was the best PG prospect in the draft,he regressed like crazy after that and fell out of lottery,but I still thought he should have been drafted in the top 7,but fell all the way to 19.

But if they redid this draft he'd go top 5 for sure :wow:

Christ, I remember all of the hype for years that surrounded Ricky Rubio. People legitimately thought he was going to change the game and shyt. He fell so short of expectations.

Judging from Mike's draft history that literally means nothing. :mjlol:
