106203, Why not? That's hardly unprecedented. Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Jun-23-15 12:59 AM
Take even crappy to average drafts, 2000 was a notoriously shitty draft and it still had a couple guys who made AS teams (Martin, Magloire, Redd), a ROY that had a good career (Miller), an MIP who was the second banana on a conference champ (Hedo), a Sixth Man of the Year (Crawford) and that's without really digging.
2001 was no prize, but it was better and it produced at least eight all-stars. Pau, Joe Johnson, ZBo, Top 5 Tony, Tyson Chandler, Hibachi, Gerald Wallace and Okur. It also had Olympian Richard Jefferson.
2002 had a bunch of busts (Tskitishvili, Jay Williams, Juanny Wags, Wilcox, et al) and it still managed to produce at least four all-stars (Yao, Caron, Boozer, Amare).
2003 was a banner year, it might have hit double digits now that Korver made one. At least nine guys.
From 04 to 09 you had an average of 5 and it was pretty consistent (five in each year but two, there was a 4 and a 6).
So to have six in one draft is hardly uncommon.
