Lottery, High Draft picks and Championships...

[mike23theking]

The topic came up with a few friends... And the only name I could come up with was Tim Duncan, although he achieved it within 2 years after being drafted, andEli Manning, and he did it in 3.

Who are some other top 10 or lottery picks that won a chip in their respective sport almost immediately?

Darko Milicic.

Roethlisberger was drafted 10th?

Josh Beckett, drafted 2nd overall behind Josh Hamilton, won World Series MVP in his second full season.

How do y'all forget Magic? Only rookie to win Finals MVP.

 

[RyGuy45]

Dwyane Wade. Third year.

Because a lot of people on this board never got to see Magic play.

Dwyane Wade won the title pretty quickly. I know he wasnt technically a lottery pick, but he should have been. As of right now he is at worst top 2 in hisdraft class.

 

[wildkycat]

why wasn't Wade "technically" a lottery pick?

I didn't get to see him play either but I thought it was common sense especially in a place filled with Lakers fans.

I know he wasnt technically a lottery pick, but he should have been.
How is 5th pick overall not a lottery pick?

uhh.. Yes he was. he was the 5th player taken in the draft.

"Technically", Kobe was a lottery pick at 13 and won in his 4th.

Soooooo, not sure how Wade wasn't "technically" a lottery dude at 5.

Someone doesn't know what a lottery pick is,

Ben Roethlisburger.

And fa sho, Magic Johnson.

Although I hate the Celtics, can Larry Legend get some love too?

My bad everyone. I thought the lottery picks were technically just the top 3. Seeing as how the lottery process includes only the top 3 picks, then every otherpick goes in record order.

Laugh all you want. My basketball knowledge is still higher than 75% of the people on this board.

You know what? I admitted to making a mistake. Whatever. I took the L....I get it. But you guys cant sit there and tell me that it is THAT stupid of a mistake.IM not trying to justify my mistake, but when teams win the lottery, where are their picks? 1-3. If you lose the lottery where are your picks? 4-14. I justassumed that if you didnt win the lottery, your picks arent lottery picks from 4-14.



Ok.....I blew it. Can we get back to the topic?

You cannot get a pass for making 2 of the dumbest statements in the history of S&T especially when...
