Chad Ford's Worst Draft Picks of the Decade

[The X]

I don't get why Jordan Hill is on that list. Yes it's looking bad right now, but he hasn't even gone through a full season yet. It'll likely be the wrong pick in the future but putting him as a bust now is way premature.

The guy couldn't catch an entry pass in the NCAA Tournament. He's got nothing. He is a bust waiting to happen

I'll also note that NBADraft.net is putting out a similar list tomorrow (tomorrow for me means New Year's Eve in North America) and they've already put up a list of the biggest steals: http://www.nbadraft.net/node/16436

Switching the topic a little. Where's Ginobili in that list? 1x All Star, 1x Sixth Man of the Year, picked 57th.

I'm pretty sure Manu wasn't drafted this decade, so that's why he wouldn't be there. I'd probably have him number 1 if he was.

Yep, my bad. Drafted in 1999... in my mind it was in 2000.

I think Randolph seems to have a bright future ahead of him, but it's too premature to be saying he's 2 of the best 3 rookies from his draft class. That's like Darko claiming that he'd have been a star if was given more minutes, coached right, fit in the system better or given more oppotunities. Relying totally on stats doesn't really tell everything, but should be more of a guideline.

Let's be fair here if we're going to say things like this.

Player	MP	P/36	R/36	TS%	ORtg
Darko Milicic in DET	553	9.9	7.4	.382	76
Anthony Randolph Career	1800	16.7	11.1	.511	104

Rofl... Yeah, I realize that was a bad comparison.

joe alexander... even the bucks gave up on him.. this early in his career

I think that Greg Oden still too soon for playing, aside from the surgery that caused him to miss what should have been his rookie season the ailments that have kept him out of action have been freak injuries.
So bad.
