Why was Mike Bibby drafted so high?

[Benjamin Sisko]

i know he was coming off a National Championship and when I look at NBAdraft.net there was no current player who he can be compared too. He was a disappointment but I wanted to know what made him go so high?

Some used to compare him to Jason Kidd with a jumper. Maybe that's why.
For those that are too young, when Jason Kidd first entered the league he was one of the best PGs to lace them up but could not hit a jumper to save his and his family's life

He wasn't no disappointment lol. He was a great college player, they were more valued back then. His style of PG was the it thing at the time in the league.

I never saw Jason Kidd in him especially when Kidd was with the Suns. He wasn't a triple-double machine like Kidd was

Breh, as number two overall, I expected him to be like top 10 at least in scoring. I know people compared him to Kidd, but I never saw that, but that's just me.

I was a Wildcat fan for college basketball and Bibby, Eggleston, and Simon was the best that ever happened to that program. But for that high of a draft pick to average...what...14 points per game and 5 assists is a disappointment.
