Revising The 2003 NBA Draft

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Yea but to those of us who weren't following mock drafts we knew that Melo was the best player in college who led his team to a championship as a freshmen

they had a huge hype machine behind darko.
plus, the PF was Detroit's weakest position at the time, before they traded for Rasheed.

I knew he was gonna be a bust tho, just by looking at his weak ass highlights.

Wade recruiting bron to Denver

At that point they may have all just ended up in Cleveland.

West being the 5th best player of that draft doesn't get enough notice.

Because it is a VERY distant fifth and based more on longevity than peak performance.

I know people are witness but I honestly take Carmelo over LeBron.
1. Cavaliers - SF Carmelo Anthony (3)
2. Pistons - LeBron James (1)
3. Nuggets - SG Dwayne Wade(5)

Detroit should have went Wade



Bringing him off the bench on a championship team

people forget how amazing melo was actually.

wade was always a tad bit overrated.

Wade is a full tier above Melo all time. Not even close.

Wade in his prime was an A+ unquestionable MVP candidate and probably should have won it that one year. Melo at his absolute best (I guess that 2nd place MVP season on the Knicks) is a B+.

Wade has 3 rings in Miami. Melo has a 54 win season on the knicks that is highlighted on Wikipedia.

LeBron is going to be playing for someone in his same draft class.

David West was a beast in New Orleans

Melo would have been a better fit on that Pistons team than Wade. They needed a legit #1 scorer who could play with his back to the back but score from the perimeter. Melo was that. Sucks for Melo.

Melo wouldn’t have been a better fit, yeah he was a better shooter but this was still the early 00’s teams weren’t shooting 40 3’s a game
Bringing in wade gives them another ball handler/playmaker taking pressure off Chauncey
Wade was versatile enough to play the 1 and 2
And even had the strength to guard 3’s
Not to mention he would make their defense even better
And they’d have a true superstar who can lead after the team startes to age and decline
