  • @shevcenko007

    Mr Big Shot, Chauncey Billups, one of the most underrated PG, great floor general who made his teammates better. He deserves to be a Hall of Famer.

    • @thebestcentaur
      @thebestcentaur 4 года назад +32

      @@ivaneurope I disagree. But I know why the HoF is taking its time with both of them. Billups does deserve to be a HOFer, but he was almost a bust, for one thing, and his career before he got to Detroit was largely pegged as such. IIRC, no undrafted players have ever made it to the HoF, even though Big Ben is pretty much the best undrafted player ever. So they both may go in eventually, but Mr. Big Shot will very likely hear his name called first
      Edit: completely forgot about Connie Hawkins, but he went to the ABA and made a lot of his history there before starring in the NBA. Big Ben is the only MODERN undrafted NBA player in the HoF.
      Edit 2: I was wrong. Big Ben is going first! Well deserved!

T-Mac was sensational and I remember his All-Star game off the backboard free throw dunk!! In game!!! 6-9 forward who had the scoring touch of a Michael Jordan, could eventually win a ring and balled every night. If he had a longer playing career, I'd put him on Lebron level because his game was like Scottie Pippens

    Interesting but a bit sad you didn't speak about other relevant players: Scott Pollard and his haircuts, Anthony Parker who had a reliable game and a long career in Europe, Tariq Abdul-Wahhad who was the first Frenchman to be drafted and play for a NBA team, paving the way to Parker, Diaw, Pietrus, Batum, Gobert, Fournier and many others.
    Some of these later selections had interesting stories even though they didn't have great careers

    Anthony Parker somehow had a decent career as a role player with the Cavs and Raptors. Austin Croshere was the most overpaid among these guys. Brevin Knight’s not that really good in scoring, but made it up for his steals and somewhat decent passing abilities.

    It's pretty common in all sports - if there is a stacked draft class one year, the next year will be pretty lean. Usually. The 2012 and 2013 NFL Draft comes to mind. But the 2017 draft was loaded, and so was 2018. So there's one example bucking that trend.

    4:20 Van Horn had serious skills! Not many PF had that shooting touch in that era. The guy could rebound and score stylishly. He was called to be "the best white player after Bird" (LOL these comparisons...) Had tremendous potential, I think injuries slowed him down a lot.

It would be dope If Andy made a vid about them, just a suggestion

    I remember most of the players. This draft class was in my first NBA game. Most of them was awful. Still, I liked a few of late picks in supporting roles. Bobby Jackson, Anthony Parker, Jacque Vaugn, Marc Blount. Parker was very good in Euroleague and I enjoyed his later years in Toronto. Keith Van Horn was very good. I think he didn't enjoy the game. If he did the Nets could build around him and Kidd.
