The 2001 Ridiculous Upside REDRAFT: #1

This is the season of our inactivity.  We are doomed by September to a life of boredom and pre-training camps. So we rounded up the rest of the SBNation homeys and some others, and we're ReDrafting the 2001 NBA Draft. Up first? The Washington Wizards after their original pick of who else? Kwame Brown.

With the first pick in the 2001 SB Nation NBA ReDraft, the Washington Wizards, represented by Bullets Forever, select Gilbert Arenas from the University of Arizona.

Bullets Forever says: We believe Gilbert would be a major asset to our team and are not concerned with his ability to play point guard because our offense does not specialize positions as much.


Judging from the success we've had with Arenas these past few years, it was a no-brainer.  Pau Gasol would look nice posting up, but Arenas is too good a scorer to pass up.

 

The Los Angeles Clippers, represented by Clips Nation, are on the clock.

Bonus fact

Much like the Wizards GM, at the time, Pradamaster mulled over his decision while smoking a fine cigar at the golf course.

Does Kwame?

Even go in the first round at this point?

Kwame and expectations

If Kwame goes 24th is his production acceptable? I always thought his biggest problem, outside of MJ systematically breaking him, was the fact that he went #1 overall. At a certain point in the draft I’d be more than happy with his ‘05-’07 numbers. And maybe he develops better in such a scenario. Just a thought.
