Would he still be a guaranteed top pick in that era? Where is he getting selected at, and why? Is he cracking the top five?
Take in consideration: potential, early 2000’s style of play, and ability to adapt.

I mean in a 3 year window (2002,03, 04) there were seven non-Americans picked in the top 15 each year. I think given his hype he would have landed top 5-6 in 03. Can’t imagine Chris Kaman would have outplayed Wemby in workouts, much less Darko and maybe not even Bosh.
