Henry – For the position on Bowie, I moved him around on this list a couple of times, until I settle at # 3. One of the reasons was Bowie was listed below Milicic is the career numbers. Yes Bowie was selected over two top 50 players of all time. But Portland’s reason for the selection was Bowie fit a need and by no means did they think he was the best player on the board. If the latter was true then Bowie would be at the top of the list. The problem with Milicic is Dumars thought he was the best player there. James is spot on as well.

That didn’t work out too well in Detroit and it certainly hasn’t helped in Memphis. The Grizzlies have enough draft picks to get someone that will help Gasol in the middle and allow their young core to operate. I have a feeling Milicic will be seeing a lot of the bench in the coming season.

I didn’t write the post but I tend to agree. Milicic has been a total bust and I admit my bias because he plays in Memphis and I’ve seen his complete ineffectiveness for two seasons.

Darko continues to haunt my Pistons. It left a big hole in the team for the last few years. The strategy was for him or Memo Okur to be the new big man allowing Rasheed to play power forward.

Bowie at #3? How can he not be #1 when Jordan AND Barkley were picked after him.
