Players that play for us of course. And I only put Bynum and Turiaf for the hell of it.

Cook with Sasha a close sprint behind...

Luke was a 2nd round pick. We blew 2 #1's on Cook and Sasha.

Sasha is a first round pick.

Luke is a second rounder.


Luke kept us from getting swept by the Pistons.


Has to be Sasha.

You have to remember that Luke was just a second rounder.

I vote for Cook, who could've been replaced by players like Barbosa and Josh Howard.

Your reasoning definitely makes it a tough call, even if Luke right now seems useless. Who else was left after drafting Luke (a high 2nd rounder)? I'll go with you on this one.

Kyle Korver? Willie Green? James Jones? Mo Williams? Hell Matt Bonner even. I'll rather have any of these guys than Puke.

Well you thought wrong.

Luke was the differnce maker in the Lakers lone win in that Finals.

His passing made the triangle work.

It may be that he only shines when he is on the floor with four future HOFers.

What's sorry is Luke.
The players on that list are useful players.

Luke was the reason for our win in the finals? Geez, I thought it was a miracle three point shot with 2.1 seconds left on the clock. Was that Luke who shot that?

My choice is Luke Walton because I think we could have done much better if we picked from the WNBA league instead.

Fluke Walton was a second round pick, and really not a bad pick for that location.

Juries still out on A-bomb and T-bomb. But so far I like what see.

Sushi Vodoochick was chosen late in the first round, so we couldn't have gotten much more with that pick.

VW was also a second rounder, and dude looks like he might be a steal.

Ass for Cook. Solid but inconsistent shooter, and does nothing else but pick up blocking fouls. Drafted too early, should've been an early second rounder. I think we let Boozer go by too on that one. So has to be Bian Crook.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Boozer available during that Cook, Walton draft?

Without Luke's play, that shot would have meant nothing.

Luke had ONE good game, the Piston didn't know anything about him and he came in and did some good things. What happened after that game? The Piston figured him out real quick and he was crap from then on, like he is now.

Worst Draft? How about at least a half a dozen G.M.s who picked someone else ahead of Andrew Bynum?

Neither of those picks is horrible. Most are late picks and they each have contributed to our success on different occasions (minus Turiaf). You can't complain about late picks not being productive all the time; there's a reason they're called "late picks."
