Interesting to compare the #1 pick in the 2005 draft with the #30 pick in the same draft and from what I am reading, the opinions are about equal. I know this isn't the question but I feel it shows David Lee's great dedication, work effort, and talent to develop himself so he is considered equal to the #1 pick.

Too many on this board put DLee down because he isn't a shot blocker. Bogut beats Lee as a shotblocker, and by a lot. However, Lee beat Bogut in every other category, and usually by a lot. Go compare their stats. Both are very good players but for playing on an MDA coached team, I would easily pick Lee over Bogut.
