DeShawn Stevenson | NBADraft.net

now question, which player were you wrong about?

i thought hibbert after he got the big contract would always be a bumbling 7 footer with a unpolished post game forever.

and i thought jamario moon had potential to be an all-star

aaand go.

rapsmannn · 06-04-2013, 12:28 AM

He did win a championship

ClutchCity · 06-04-2013, 12:31 AM

I thought Charlie V could be better than Bosh when we had him (I was like 15 I think).

LOL

Windex · 06-04-2013, 01:06 AM

Stromile Swift. I think I was 11 when he was draft though

Dario · 06-04-2013, 02:18 AM

rafael, I thought he was the franchise player

Had Beasley ranked above Rose in 2008. Didn't think Rose would develop a jumper and that he would fade sharply with age because he relied so much on athleticism. I basically saw him as a lesser Steve Francis. I likened Beasley to Melo and Mashburn.

Also liked Turner over Wall. Thought for sure that Turner was Brandon Roy, but with ACLs. And again, overlooked a super athletic point guard without a jump shot.

Also loved Martell Webster coming out of HS. I recall being very irked when he was selected one pick ahead of Charlie V.

Dario · 06-04-2013, 04:14 AM

Yeah wonder why Webster never turned out good..

Aamir · 06-04-2013, 04:39 AM

Meh, maybe you shouldn't count guys with injuries like Oden and Roy. Technically you were wrong about them, but they were bound to be superstars if they were playing.

And even though I didn't notice him until he came with us, Sonny Weems. :cookie:

Ouch. :mattyd:

rapsmannn · 06-04-2013, 04:51 AM

o.j mayo over love

thought it was a great trade for memphis, and they got the better player, didn't think kevin love would translate in the nba

also I thought joel alexander as going to be huge baller in the nba, thought he was going to be excellent player

I really liked Tyrus Thomas.

LOG · 06-04-2013, 08:35 AM

I was sure J. Lamb will top 5 talent out of last years draft when all said and done. He still has time to become a good player but top 5 of his class, not really..

Superjudge · 06-04-2013, 08:50 AM

My biggest miscalculation I think would have to have been Bargnani.

Rene_13 · 06-04-2013, 08:54 AM

I was adamant that we needed to draft Gerald Green when I was on high school. I honestly thought he was the next T-Mac. Turned out that Charlie V and even Joey Graham have had better careers.

woodchuck · 06-04-2013, 09:24 AM

Oden I guess. I thought he's definitely going to be the new great center. But that's injuries. So not sure it counts. I still think he had that talent.

Rudy Gay actually. I loved his talent pre-draft. I probably would've taken him no.1. But he's worse than I thought he would be.

powerfulpanda · 06-04-2013, 11:44 AM

Gerald Green.
I read an article on him in slam when he was still in high school and way before the draft. they're were saying how he has a great work ethic and in the gym 24/7. and that had me sold.... i guess he was only dunking 24/7

Bill Haverchuck · 06-04-2013, 11:47 AM

I thought Beasley was going to turn into a beast after he left Miami. Things were looking good during his first year in Minnesota, but now look at him!

He's only a beast tank commander. :chuck:

**INSIDER** · 06-04-2013, 11:50 AM

i'm with Finstock... i really thought Beasley would turn out better than Rose. Just thought he'd be a 23/8/4 type guy by now. LOL
