Usenet | Stromile Swift | -1 | It will be fun in a couple of years to look back on this pick. Martin should be better sooner but Swift has a much bigger upside |
NBA | Kenyon Martin | ||||

Usenet | Kenyon Martin | +1 | See above |

Usenet | Marcus Fizer | -1 | Solid (but undersized) PF over a HS player with huge upside! Like Swift vs. Martin, this will take a few years to evaluate |
NBA | Darius Miles | ||||

Usenet | Darius Miles | +1 | Usenet and NBA flipped flopped the first 4 picks |

Usenet | Chris Mihm | -2 | Hmm, did not either player so I'll be better saying nothing here |
NBA | Mike Miller | ||||

Usenet | Olumide Oyedeji | -36 | -36! Probably one of the worst lottery picks ever! Oyedeji fell because of rumors about his age. He might be much older. |
NBA | DerMarr Johnson | ||||

Usenet | Mike Miller | +2 | Mihm was traded to the Cavs for Crawford. Bulls looking to '01 for their center? |

Usenet | Joel Pryzbilla | -1 | Crawford traded to Bulls for Mihm. |

Usenet | DerMarr Johnson | +3 | Great pick for Usenet Rockets. Pryzbilla traded to Bucks for Collier. I have no idea what the Rockets are thinking |
NBA | Joel Pryzbilla | ||||

Usenet | Courtney Alexander | -3 | Alexander slipped from what he thought he should be picked. Orlando traded Dooling to the (Shiver) Clippers. |
NBA | Keyon Dooling | ||||

Usenet | Jerome Moiso | === | Great Pick! The only correct pick of the Usenet Draft. |
NBA | Jerome Moiso | ||||

Usenet | Keyon Dooling | +2 | Good pick! Dooling went a lot higher then I would have thought but the Usenet Mavs made a good call. |
NBA | Etan Thomas | ||||
13 | ![]() |
Usenet | Erick Barkley | -15 | Barkley fell like a brick. Alexander was traded to the Mavs to save cap space. |
NBA | Courtney Alexander | ||||

Usenet | Jamal Crawford | +6 | Crawford's stock went sky high and the Usenet Pistons made a great pick. |
NBA | Mateen Cleaves | ||||
15 | ![]() |
Usenet | Morris Peterson | -6 | Tough pick. I liked Peterson a lot better then I liked Collier. However the trade for Pryzbilla with Houston could be great. |
NBA | Jason Collier | ||||
16 | ![]() |
Usenet | Desmond Mason | -1 | A very good pick by the Usenet Kings. However he said that there was no way that the Kings would take another foreign player. They took a foreign player. |
NBA | Hidayet Turkoglu | ||||

Usenet | DeShawn Stevenson | -6 | Stevenson fell to Utah. Seattle really need a slasher and Mason should give them that. |
NBA | Desmond Mason | ||||
18 | ![]() |
Usenet | Mateen Cleaves | +4 | A very good pick (and a great report for the Clippers GM). Not sure what kind of pro Richardson will make |
NBA | Quentin Richardson | ||||

Usenet | Quentin Richardson | +1 | Great Pick! To bad the Usenet GM did not do a report. |
NBA | Jamaal Magloire | ||||
20 | ![]() |
Usenet | Iakovos Tsakalidis | -5 | Tsakalidis would have been a top 10 pick without the contract hassles. |
NBA | Craig Claxton | ||||
21 | ![]() |
Usenet | Craig Claxton | -1 | Great Pick! Claxton really helped his stock with strong camps. Peterson will help with McGrady leaving. |
NBA | Morris Peterson | ||||
22 | ![]() |
Usenet | Etan Thomas | +10 | Great Pick! Thomas was a bit underrated by the Usenet GM's. |
NBA | Donnell Harvey | ||||
23 | ![]() |
Usenet | Chris Carrawell | -17 | Never, never will I understand Carrawell falling to 41! Sometimes I think that more a GM knows about a player, the more that hurts the player. Stevenson is all potential. |
NBA | DeShawn Stevenson | ||||

Usenet | Hanno Mottola | -16 | I feared this pick would hurt the Usenet draft. It did. |
NBA | Dalibor Bagaric | ||||

Usenet | Mamadou N'diaye | -1 | Great Pick! |
NBA | Iakovos Tsakalidis | ||||
26 | ![]() |
Usenet | Donnell Harvey | +4 | Harvey went higher then I would have thought. That's a good thing for the Utah GM. This pick was traded to Denver just before the draft |

Usenet | Ernest Brown | -25 | Eugene stepped in at the last minute after the Pacers GM dropped out. I never slam someone who helps me out. Good thing :-) |
NBA | Primoz Brezec | ||||
28 | ![]() |
Usenet | Jason Collier | +13 | Having seen Collier play for the last 2.5 years in the ACC, I will say that he was picked way to high! Great pick by the Portland GM. |
NBA | Erick Barkley | ||||
29 | ![]() |
Usenet | Corey Hightower | -26 | This is a tough one. Ian said that the Lakers really liked Hightower and I guess they did since they traded for his rights. |
NBA | Mark Madsen | ||||

Usenet | Chris Porter | -25 | Like Carrawell, the NBA GM's knew to much about Porter. I guess they would rather draft some guy from Eastern Europe who's name ends with "ric". |

NBA | Marko Jaric | |||

Usenet | Dalibor Bagaric | +7 | The Usenet Warriors did his home word. Bagaric (another "ric" player) came on at the last minute. |

Usenet | Jabari Smith | -13 | Smith got drafted behind Voskuhl. Another pick I don't understand. What position does Guyton play? |
