Draft ID#: 56805
Some highlights:
• Suns draft French small forward Boris Diaw with the 17th pick.
• Due to his size, David West fell to the Lakers at 24.
• Nick Collison fell to the Utah Jazz at 19. He's no Karl Malone, but at least he's white.
• New Jersey drafts a project at 22 in Travis Outlaw.
• Toronto decides it needs a point guard and Miami wants Kaman, so the Clippers get exactly what they want in the draft...another power forward in
Chris Bosh.(For those keeping track, that's Brand, Ely, Wilcox and Bosh)
• Injury liability Pavel Podkolzine falls to the Atlanta Hawks at 21. Fitting. Now he can exchange rehabbing tips with Theo Ratliff.
• Zarko goes to Detroit at 25 to play alongside Mehmet and Darko.
• Dwayne Wade is too much of a tweener and drops to the Hornets at 18.
