Rewriting history

Well hello there ...

Yeap, trying to come back here so instead of commenting about current events or ground breaking news that chocks everyone i decided to go against common sense and go ahead and write about boring and old stuff. These upcoming three o so posts I'm redoing every draft since 1978. Why 1978 u might ask? From this draft on players that really have an effect on what we know as the NBA started getting into the league. Legends like Bird, M.J. , Drexler, Scottie, Isaiah got drafted by difference teams that the ones where they build their legacy.

The ground rules are that players are selected where they should had been selected. No Sam Bowie, no Michal Olowakandi, no Darko Milicic in the top 5. Stockton and Malone don't go after the 10th pick and Manu gets selected in the first round. Just put yourself in the shoes of Joe Dumars in 2003 knowing everything you know right now. Did you pic Melo o Wade before Darko? Do you select Bosh insteand? In the cases where the players had similar careers or similar impacts in their respective teams the way to break the "tie" would be which players fullfills better the needs of selecting team at the time.
