1996.

Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Marcus Camby, Ray Allen, Peja Stojakovic, Jermaine O'Neal, Ben Wallace...

And more.

Guest

THe, A I Kobe Ray Allen Stephonj, but there are more to come

Guest

Proably the Carmelo Dwyane LeBron Bosh is also a very good draft class

Guest

You could even make an argument about Jordan's draft class

Guest

but the 1996 draft class is the best so far

That looks like it can be a pretty great draft class. However, we should wait until the star players' careers are over, near over, or past their primes to make good comparisons

2003 with ease has to be

Lebron,Melo,Wade,Bosh,Hinrich,etc..

best of all-time

How are people saying 1996 over 1984?

The 1984 draft had 4 HOF players. Nuff said

Guest

How do you know that the 2003 draft class won't have more HOFs

Subject: Re: What was the best draft year of all-time? Tue Aug 11, 2009 11:32 am

If there will be more HOFs...then it might be the 2003 draft class.

but:

1. We'll have to wait and see
2. I don't see anybody other than lebron and wade go into the HOF

Guest

LBJ, Wade, Melo, Bosh, etc.

Subject: Re: What was the best draft year of all-time? Tue Aug 11, 2009 11:35 am

Lebron: yes
Wade: yes
Melo: maybe
Bosh: probably not

Subject: Re: What was the best draft year of all-time? Tue Aug 11, 2009 11:35 am

and even if all 4 make the HOF, that still won't be more than 4

Guest

I'd have to say the three best are 1984, 1996, and 2003.

The Big Diesel, I think that Melo is definitely a Yes. If Bosh steps up sooner or later, he could probably make it. Although, they're are a lot of other players that class that could step up.

1996 HOF's:
Kobe
Iverson
Nash
Ray Allen
Ben Wallace

Then I'm sure somebody else will get on in their last bid that's not from this list(Maybe Shareef Abdur Rahim)
And then who knows? Maybe one of them will become a HOF coache?

1996>'84,03

Guest

True, Cav Browns Indians Beast. That changed my opinion, 1996>1984. Don't know how 2003 will turn out to great yet.

Subject: Re: What was the best draft year of all-time? Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:11 pm

I think it will be 1984, followed by 2003, followed by 1996 by the time the class of 03 is all done.

Subject: Re: What was the best draft year of all-time? Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:19 pm

Yea, 2003 was when these great players step up. But 1996 is also great.

Subject: Re: What was the best draft year of all-time? Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:49 pm

Didn't 1984 have:

Jordan: Greatest of All-Time, Greatest SG of All-Time
Hakeem: Great Defender of All-Time, Greatest Center of All-Time, Top 11 in Steals, Blocks, Points, and Rebounds
Barkley: Top 5 Power Forwards of All-Time
Stockton: Top 3 Point Guards of All-Time, Leader is All-Time Career Assists, Most APG in a Season

That's is just some of the things they have accomplished.

Guest

Yeah. It depends on when the 03 draft class players all retire. I think 84 wil win though.
