Well, as we await the decision from the league’s investigation into the Clippers’ alleged cap circumvention, Ebi was once a part of the Joe Smith fiasco with the Minnesota Timberwolves. When the league punished the Wolves, they took away their draft picks from 2001-2005. David Stern eventually gave the Wolves back their picks in 2003 and 2005. They took Ebi in 2003 and Rashad McCants in 2005. So basically … the Wolves still forfeited those picks. Happy birthday, Ndudi!Draft remixLet’s reorder some guys from ’96Technically, the 30th anniversary of the 1996 NBA Draft is not until June 26. But we will be right in the middle of post-draft aftermath and pre-free agency chaos on that day next week. I figured a little calm before the storm right now was the perfect time to talk about that historic class. This class features four* Hall of Famers. Four MVP awards. Six players with their jerseys retired. It’s one of the best drafts we’ve ever seen. However, teams got a lot wrong in that draft, as we know from three of those MVP awards being taken with the 13th and 15th picks. Let’s have some fun by re-drafting the top 10 in this draft and see how it might have changed those teams’ fortunes.1. Philadelphia 76ers: Kobe Bryant | SG | Lower Merion High SchoolWhat would this change? We know Kobe and his agent were angling for him to find his way to the Lakers, but a homecoming with the Sixers isn’t bad. This adds him to a team with Jerry Stackhouse. Bryant getting his own team sooner, rather than later, could have been fun.Who was the original pick? Allen Iverson.Grade for original pick: A+2. Toronto Raptors: Allen Iverson | SG | GeorgetownWhat would this change? At the time, a backcourt of Iverson and Damon Stoudamire would’ve been a nightmare defensively for Toronto and for defenses against the Raptors. Would Iverson have wanted to go to Toronto? It’s hard to say. But in the same way Vince Carter would eventually galvanize basketball in Canada in 1999, Iverson would’ve done that to an even greater degree.Who was the original pick? Marcus Camby.Grade for original pick: B+3. Vancouver Grizzlies: Steve Nash | PG | Santa ClaraWhat would this change? Could Nash have saved basketball in Vancouver? It’s tough to say. Granted, he didn’t become more than an All-Star point guard until he locked in with Mike D’Antoni in Phoenix in 2004. But clearly that level of play existed inside of him. Bringing the Canadian kid to Vancouver to usher in good basketball could have eventually worked.Who was the original pick? Shareef Abdur-Rahim.Grade for original pick: B4. Milwaukee Bucks: Ray Allen | SG | ConnecticutWhat would this change? Uh … so no real change here. They just do it without the trade from Minnesota. Allen is a Hall of Fame shooting guard, who put up 25 points per game in his heyday and became a championship role player in his twilight.Who was the original pick? Stephon Marbury (traded to Minnesota).Grade for original pick: A (for Ray Allen)5. Minnesota Timberwolves: Ben Wallace | C | Virginia UnionWhat would this change? Remember! Wallace went undrafted in 1996. He’s the fifth Hall of Famer from the class, even though he didn’t get selected. The Wolves getting this defensive master next to Kevin Garnett sets them up down the road. Wallace needed some seasoning, and KG still couldn’t legally drink, but that’s a great base for a patient front office.
