I have this idea which I think it will be fun and interesting to discuss also see where everyone does with their NBA redraft looking at previous years do it all over again where the players will be draft at.  

I start only top 10 for the 2003 NBA Draft…

I am going to start list the actual draft where players drafted back in 2003 then I will post a redo below it.

Actual NBA 2003 Draft 
1. Cavs:  Lebron James 
2. Pistons:  Darko Miličić
3. Nuggets: Carmelo Anthony 
4. Raptors: Chris Bosh 
5. Heat: Dwayne Wade
6. Clippers: Chris Kaman 
7. Bulls: Kirk Hinrich 
8. Bucks: TJ Ford 
9. Knicks: Michael Sweetney 
10. Wizards: Jarvis Hayes 

Now the redraft for 2003 

2003 NBA Redraft
1. Cavs: Lebron James
2. Pistons: Dwayne Wade
3. Nuggets: Chris Bosh
4. Raptors: Carmelo Anthony 
5. Heat: Chris Kaman
6. Clippers: David West
7. Bulls: Josh Howard
8. Bucks: TJ Ford
9. Knicks: Nick Collison 
10. Wizards: Kirk Hinrich 

i give my 10 cents tonight regarding 2003 NBA Draft that year both actual and redraft feel free to redraft the 2003 and discuss 👍🏼

I’ve been listening to Simmons do these and they’ve been a ton of fun. Thought about doing some for the NFL is someone like @admin would be down.

1) Carmelo>Bosh in longevity and as a scorer. Melo did more for the Nugs than Bosh ever did for the Raps. Bosh was third wheel in Miami. Always appreciated Melo wanting 'It' and tried to make it happen in NYK unlike any of the other Big 3 guys here who could only run away from the big moment besides maybe in Lebron's return to Cleveland and early Wade. Bosh didn't have that "dog" in him the way Anthony did, never wanted 'it'.

2) Tj Ford was good but that injury he sustained should not have him go anywhere near the top 10. No real longevity as a player.

3) Give me Kyle Korver over anybody after David West. Korver is still playing to this day and can still knock down his 3's and FT's. A guy never given enough credit due to his good looks, I would gladly take Korver over Collison for One Team One New York.

4) What was good about Chris Kaman? He looked like shit, put up empty numbers on some rotten Clipper sides and no way is he above Korver or Mo Williams IMHO. I would maybe take Jose Calderon over him too.

while Melo is a better scorer than Bosh but Bosh is a better overall player.  What did Melo do for the Nuggets that he did more than what Bosh did for the Raptors neither didn’t win the title just making the playoffs that’s it to Melo credit he only take the team to the WCF once. 

I do agree with TJ Ford he was injury prone that would hurt his draft stock I was drawing blanks with that pick for some reason 😂.

if Chris Kaman stay healthy which was his issue early of his career he is a productive player.

Would be keen for sure! I was trying to think of what our next little project here could be.

I think it would be fun , some drafts would be really tough after like 8 picks where we can just pick the best swing tackles or kick returners. Just got to figure out the best format.

We've got plenty of time, I say we start at 1965 so I can put Broadway Joe on the Giants.

Melo got farther in a far more dangerous Western Conf. vs Bosh's Raptors. If Melo's Nuggets were in the East, they'd have made the finals 1-2 times probably. Bosh needed to be a third wheel to win anything. Very good player, not a superstar. And the unfortunate condition he suffered that ended his career ices it that Melo had a better NBA career. This isn't even factoring Melo's lone season at Syracuse being a National title premier player.

It's why LeBron hid in the East all this time, he's yet to do anything in the Western conf playoffs as a Laker(Until this season*). Easy finals appearances minus a couple of good Celtic squads.

Cool idea. I'd be down for an NFL version of this as well.

Sticking with the NBA, I had to go back a ways to find one I felt comfortable with, but I finally found it in....

1985

Actual Draft

1. Patrick Ewing: Knicks
2. Wayman Tisdale: Pacers
3. Benoit Benjamin: Clippers
4. Xavier McDaniel: SuperSonics
5. Jon Koncak: Hawks
6. Joe Kleine: Kings
7. Chris Mullin: Warriors
8. Detlef Schrempf: Mavericks from Cavaliers
9. Charles Oakley: Cavaliers
10. Ed Pinckney: Suns

ReDraft

1. Karl Malone: Knicks
2. Patrick Ewing: Pacers
3. Chris Mullin: Clippers
4. Joe Dumars: SuperSonics
5. Detlef Schrempf: Hawks
6. Terry Porter: Kings
7. Charles Oakley: Warriors
8. Xavier McDaniel: Mavericks from Cavaliers?
9. AC Green: Cavaliers
10. Wayman Tisdale: Suns

And with that, NBA history is irrevocably altered.
There were about a half-dozen other solid players after the Top 10. This was a strong draft.

I was looking at the 2003 draft and the term of quality players for this class is weak if you think about it. I want to give my ten cents certain aspects of this draft class.

Detroit Pistons
Pistons own the #2 overall pick and also at the time they were contenders if they have draft Wade instead of Darko the team will probably win more titles now obvious Wade wouldn’t start at least the first two years could you imagine the roster of Ben Wallace/Sheed/Prince/Rip/Billups and Wade as a sixth man? Damn! As a Bulls fan I glad the Pistons passed up drafting Wade hell I am glad they passed up drafting Bosh or Melo for that matter.

Raptors & Nuggets
I was looking at both teams roster for that year basically I have Bosh & Melo swap teams with the way the rosters constructed that year.

The Nuggets if Chris Bosh was to be draft by them the depth of the front court of Bosh /Camby/Nene and don’t forget about the birdman will be their strongest plus Andre Miller as their point guard that is pretty solid team they may have troubles scoring since they don’t have anyone create shot off the dribble no isolation scorer. As for the Raptors Melo and Vince Carter on the same team will help the 1-2 punch in terms of scoring but will give up lot of points from the defensive side.

Players move up/down
While earlier I did say this draft class is weak some of the players spoof have been draft early like Kyle Korver as Blindy mentioned, Jose Calderon, Boris Diaw, Barbosa, Mo Williams will probably move up players like Darko and Mike Sweetney May move further down.

Mailman to the Knicks I wonder What Knicks fans would actually think if the Knicks would select the Mailman that year instead of Ewing oh my lol.

They would have no doubt hated it at the time. A small school prospect over the most hyped prospect in years? lol They'd have been irate for sure.

But it's the right pick in hindsight. Although.....one can't help wonder how The Mailman would have fared without Stockton....

Eagles fans booed McNabb when he got drafted. Yet I think that was the right pick. He was infinitely better than Tim Couch or Akili Smith, and provided far less drama than Ricky Williams.

Yeah I was wondering how will Malone will do without Stockton.

To be fair center position back then is very important that I think it would be a toss up with Ewing or Malone with the first pick for that draft class.

LOL say what?   Melo is one of the most selfish players to ever come down the pike.   He's the kind of guy who would rather score 30 and lose than score 20 and win.    When Linsanity took off while Melo was injured you think he would have appreciated the help.  Instead he got jealous and was mad that Lin was stealing his shine.    That single moment summed up Melo's entire career.    

Give me Bosh any day.  At least Bosh is willing to sacrifice for the good of the team.    Melo dosen't even know the meaning of the word.

Bored so I did another this time the 1984 draft…

1984

Actual Draft
1. Rockets: Hakeem Olajuwon
2. Blazers: Sam Bowie
3. Bulls: Michael Jordan
4. Mavs: Sam Perkins
5. 76ers: Charles Barkley
6. Bullets: Melvin Turpin
7. Spurs: Alvin Robertson
8. Clippers: Lancaster Gordon
9. Kings: Otis Thorpe
10. 76ers: Leon Wood

Redraft
1. Rockets: Hakeem Olajuwon
2. Blazes: Michael Jordan
3. Bulls: Charles Barkley
4. Mavs: John Stockton
5. 76ers: Kevin Willis
6. Bullets: Sam Perkins
7. Spurs: Jerome Kersey
8. Clippers: Alvin Robertson
9. Kings: Sam Bowie
10. 76ers: Otis Thorpe

Before anyone goes crazy on pduh for leaving Olajuwan at #1, keep in mind that in The Last Dance, Reinsdorf himself said if they had the 1 or 2 pick they would have taken Olajuwan or Bowie over Jordan.

Olajuwan was nuts and Bowie was super overrated coming out of college.

Anyway, Barkley on the Bulls is so weird to picture but that could have been fun. Imagine two psycho forwards like Barkley and Pippen in their primes? Although it’s hard to say if Pippen would have come into his own like he did with Jordan. He credits Jordan with making him better.

...

Going back to Melo to the Raptors, I kinda like it. I think Melo would have been adored in Toronto and done big things. Unfortunately Toronto’s management was still stupid back then so it’s hard to say how much success they have.

Excellent timing by pduh . I checked out this stacked draft after my 1985 post last night and had intended on tackling it today even before I saw Pduh's post.

Pduh still drafting Olajuwon before Jordan took balls. I think you have to go MJ at #1 with the benefit of hindsight. How you gonna pass on the GOAT?

2-4 can honestly go in any order. All 3 of those guys are first ballot Hall of Famers. Check out the Blazers with Drexler & Olajuwon.

Thorpe & Willis were similar, above average players who I've actually always lumped together in my head.

Robertson doesn't have the longevity of the others, but he was a damn fine player early in his career- a great defender in particular.

Kersey was a solid scorer with the Blazers for a long time.

Sam Perkins had a much more productive career than I (mis)remembered. I knew he was a college star at UNC, but for some reason thought he rarely averaged double figure scoring numbers as a pro, and was famous for being famous.....like John Salley.

Cage was a good rebounder who actually lead the league in rebounds per game one year.

Look at the longevity of both, look at who had more on them to perform. Yes Melo is selfish, yes he goes by IsoMelo but the man is still putting on a offensive clinic to this day! Bosh ran from New York, that's a fact. Didn't want 'it', never did. Ran away from Toronto to join Wade and LeBron in Miami and ride the easy W. He's never had that dog in him or the will to turn a team around the way a Dame Lilliard, Russ Westbrook, Melo in Denver etc. did. Three selfish players who never won a ring but I would ride would all 3 over Bosh anyday of the week!

If Resindorf would have draft Bowe over Jordan or the Dream if they have the first or second pick I dunno what I will do to myself probably something really bad later on. 

Barkley on the Bulls will be weird to see but it would have been fun to see Pip and Barkley I’m their prime but as you stated it is difficult to say if Pip would co,e into his own. 

I think Melo will be treated like a hero like Bret Hart was or even Kwai granted Kwahi got the Raptors first their first championship

I’m a Bulls fan and trust I take MJ over anyone any day of the week I just want to spice things up a little bit 😂 but the Dream the best center I have seen in my lifetime will be close

Well Chicago tried to trade up and that’s where the quote came from. They wanted Olajuwan but also said they would have taken Bowie over Jordan.

Instead they ended up in the 3rd slot and lucked out fucking HARD.

THIS. Pair this with him losing his clutch factor over time and it's easy to understand why Melo is considered overrated for a reason. Everyone likes to re-imagine the 2000's Pistons drafting him instead of Darko but I doubt that aging team would have won a title with a young Melo. Dude was way too selfish to buy into the Pistons team philosophy and would have either got driven out of town by the vets or vice verse. Draft D-Wade however and it would have been a completely different story... holy shit that would have been scary for at least a year or two.
