Merc, success is defined as....???

I'd say it is closer to 20%. 6 out of 30. The NBA is much deeper with the young kids kept off the draft boards and the International influx.

Remember when they would draft 6+ rounds deep? Now that was a freakin joke.

Since the draft went to two rounds in 89 ...8 second rounders have made the All-Star team (One Piston) and two undrafted palyers have made it.

Interesting stats Bills.

I'd be happy just getting some good, hard, quality minutes from our 2nd rounder. I'm not looking for, or expecting an All-Star with a late 2nd round pick - although that would be VERY nice.

It would be a lot easier to get a steal if highschoolers could still come in. So many teams are scared of drafting highschoolers and some of them turn out to be amazing.

Yeah, hopefully Joe got the very last one in AJ.

And lets hope hes a great last highschooler for the Pistons.

Shakur has withdrawn from the draft and is heading back for another season at AZ. Depending upon how his season goes, this could be a player we are looking at in 2007.

Sleeper? Could be a second round steal.

Has anyone heard anything about this guy recently? He seems to have dropped off the radar as he is not even appearing in nbadraft.net's top 60 anymore. Is he still in the draft?

He could be a nice pickup at #57

NBA draft.net had Zabian Dowdell in the late first round and he was off the list yesterday.

Shakur was on that list as recently as two weeks ago either in the late first or early second round. How a guy drops 20 spots is beyond me.

The dude is a playa.
