Pretending they were back at year one, and would play the same way they would their rookie season and still have the same potential _________________ A Clipper/Laker Fan

Start with the bigmen. Emeka's not a franchise player but he's a very, very solid player to start with.
Iggy's a great athlete but at this point he's limited offensively.
JR - dime a dozen swingman
Ben Gordon - He has very good offensive talent but IMO his stats are inflated because he's given free reign to gun it everytime he's on the court
Diaw - good athleticism and skillset but not someone to start building around |

I went with Iggy
EO cant stay healthy.
I think that Iggy has the chance to be a an all-star for the next decade. I dont think the same for EO. Although the general rule is to go foe size, Iggy is a difference maker on both ends of the floor. |

I went with iggy myself. If he works on his shot, he'll have the complete package. He is an interesting breed who can play great D as well as being able to posterize. He also has much more potential than EO or anyone else on the list other than JR. It looks like I like Okafor, but cant say he's improved over the last year. _________________ A Clipper/Laker Fan

Okafor is the only big man, so he's gotta be the pick. |

Okafor's a legit big, and the others aren't budding superstars. That's where you'd start. |

I'd pick Okafor and then trade him for the Slovenian Sensations, Aleksander Vujacic and Beno Udrih. |

Iggy has the needed handles, aggressive play, and athleticism to be a Franchise player. I'm assuming this is a question of who would have been better for the Bobcats to choose. Iggy would also sell tickets.
Okafor has a history of having injury problems. Not like he just RECENTLY got injured. Everyone knew this was going to be a problem. Seems to have a case of Devean George-itis and not able to heal quickly. _________________ Stephon Marbury on Kobe: "He's the only person on 'dis earth that can do 'dat. He guards people, like shuts 'em down. Then, to do 'dat on 'da offensive end. It's like 'Damn, I can't score on him AND he about to bust my ass." |

^Iggy doesn't have the skills to be a franchise player. He's behind on that curve. I don't even consider him a natural scorer or playmaker. Just a finisher who makes good decisions. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

JR=Potential
He would be much better if he werent in NO. Didnt put up Livingston, he's my second favorite player and did not feel like arguing about anything or feeling depressed if he wasnt one of the top two. _________________ A Clipper/Laker Fan
