i don't know how useful it is to do this but it might be important. just read the above quote over again and then consider where these players were drafted: bosh 1/4 (in arguably the most top-heavy draft in history), bargnani 1/1, boozer 2/35, okur 2/38. from that basic analysis, i should think we'd rather have bosh and bargnani!!! but... i can't say it's not true: they are more comparable in what they're doing for their teams today than their draft placings would have you believe. why is that? is it sloan or mitchell? is it the players on their teams? is it some set of intangibles that we've overlooked to date? it's either we underachieve, they overachieve or both. or something else.
very interesting comparison, imo. the raptors would, with a barrel of excuses, suggest that it means nothing (because that's what they do), the jazz would ignore it (because that's what they do), and maybe
that's why it is what it is.
