Only one player, LaMarcus Aldridge (2nd pick) from the top 5 picks remains in the league to date. At least he’s making up for the lack of star power from the top picks in that class.
Brandon Roy was ultimately the best player in this draft before being forced to retire by a degenerative knee condition. Kyle Lowry, a late bloomer, Rudy Gay, and Rajon Rondo represent the last of legitimate star players from the class. Paul Millsap, the 47th pick in the Draft, has showcased the ability to be a franchise star but even with him on the list, that's just about five legit NBA caliber players from this Draft.
Adam Morrison (3rd pick) should have retired after his unbelievable college career, Shelden Williams defined a journeyman in the league, while Andrea Bargnani only had one solid season and couldn’t change the misfortunes of the Toronto Raptors.
