Interesting how everyone (perhaps including Houston) would have been better off drafting Stoudemire.
The order that year:
1) Yao
2) Jay Williams
3) Mike Dunleavy
4) Drew Gooden
5) Skita
6) Wagner
7) Nene
8) Wilcox
9) Stoudemire
Other notables from that draft class:
10) Caron Butler (At the time, was "the steal of the draft")
23) Tayshaun Prince (now quietly becoming the next Pippen)
24) Nenad Krstic (perhaps a future all-star?)
25) Frank Williams (our past "PG of the future")
34) Dan Gadzuric (a VERY solid starting center)
35) Carlos Boozer
36) Vujanic (our other past "PG of the future")

I hope that Isiah doesn't make the mistake that majority of you wants for him to make. Isiah is a brillian man and he knows that he must invest heavily to strengthen our frontcourt....I hope that whatever he does, that he decides to acquire 2 big men to address the Center position....You don't let your chances vanish like that, especially with the crop of big men we have out there...If watching Amare doesn't put a bitter taste in Knicks fans, I don't know what will. who did we pick before Amare???? exactly, a much shorter and less athletic kid...
We picked Nene before Amare and shipped him for McDyess.
