  I love these remixes. And I miss Penny when he was with the Magic.

• The Mixtape Monster Posted: Oct.9 at 1:20 pm
  Just a point of note, Webber didn’t cost his team the title. The Heels were ahead at that point already. People need to stop assuming that they would have scored on multiple possessions and made multiple stops if it weren’t for that call. Sure, that call may have ended their chances, but it isn’t the reason they lost.

• tavoris Posted: Oct.9 at 1:23 pm
  Penny was my idol…that height, that handle…abusing other PG’s in the post with that quick turnaround.

• LeoneL Posted: Oct.9 at 1:26 pm
  In a perfect world without injuries and alcohol problems, this is more than a respectable class. And I believe that the TWolves would have had a chance at the chip had Cassell not gone down in the Playoffs.

• Ryne Nelson Posted: Oct.9 at 1:26 pm
  There was so much great talent to come from this draft, so I agree with the ‘B’ grade despite there being only one or two HOF players to come out of it. By the way, how many Hall of Famers makes an ‘A’ grade, Jeff?

• Lucas Posted: Oct.9 at 1:38 pm
  Man not too many players accomplished much in this class… I just wish Penny could have stayed healthy!

• L Posted: Oct.9 at 1:47 pm
  Penny was the best player in the world at some point in 95 or at least in the top 5 with Olajuwon, O’neal,Pippen and Hill(not counting a certain player just back from retirement)..L

• Bryan Posted: Oct.9 at 1:48 pm
  Penny penny stop the car that was tyra banks fool!

• albie1kenobi Posted: Oct.9 at 1:53 pm
  Thank you for reconfirming how nasty Penny was. easily my 2nd fav PG in the 90’s trailing closely to Kidd.

• Yann Blavec's wife's husband Posted: Oct.9 at 1:57 pm
  I think the biggest bust was obviously Shawn Bradley, not Bobby Hurley.

• tavoris Posted: Oct.9 at 2:00 pm
  glad Nick the Quick got love in here, too.

• Jeff Fox Posted: Oct.9 at 2:02 pm
  Ryne, I don’t have a real formula for how many Hall of Famers it takes to make a draft class an ‘A’. It depends on the depth of the talent, accomplishments of the players in the class, etc (and whether or not I’m in a good mood when I write it!).

• iConJohn Posted: Oct.9 at 2:03 pm
  I like this remix draft, but did I miss the drug draft of 1986 with Len Bias?

• Jeff Fox Posted: Oct.9 at 2:05 pm
  Shawn Bradley played 15000 more minutes than Hurley did in the NBA, hence Hurley is the bust (not his fault though). Bradley might not have come close to the heights (ignore the pun) that people imagined for him, but he was a servicable NBA player for over 800 games.

• Jeff Fox Posted: Oct.9 at 2:06 pm
  iConJohn - I’m doing the drafts in reverse order, so 1986 hasn’t been hit yet (assuming we keep doing them that long).

• niQ Posted: Oct.9 at 2:31 pm
  Hey Jeff Fox, these remixes have been great!
  How far down are you going to be doing the remixes for?

• niQ Posted: Oct.9 at 2:40 pm
  And I miss Mashburn. Dude was sick. He was a key-in for 20 ppg.

• PANAGIOTIS VASILOPOULOS Posted: Oct.9 at 2:48 pm
  Penny in his prime (3 years) is one of the greatest of all time(top-30 at least). Webber is one of my top-20 favorite players of alltime so i cannot really judge him….

• Drew Posted: Oct.9 at 2:51 pm
  mannn i’ll take lindsey over shawn bradley any day

• dma Posted: Oct.9 at 2:52 pm
  Without injuries, this draft class could have been a great draft. Cassell, Penny, Mashburn, Webber and Bradley is a nice 5 with JR Rider off the bench. Damn Live/2K needs to make these rosters official.

• PANAGIOTIS VASILOPOULOS Posted: Oct.9 at 2:53 pm
  i was really disapointed with SLAM when we had not even a comment here on his retirement ceremony erlier this year….CHRIS WEBBER running the break for the fab five is one of the most breathtaking images ever on a bball court….

• Jeff Fox Posted: Oct.9 at 3:00 pm
  niQ - I planned on doing the remixes until the college season starts, but if there is demand for it I might keep doing them. We’ll see how much love I get!!

• Jeff Fox Posted: Oct.9 at 3:02 pm
  And I agree that Webber & Penny were great players to watch play in their prime. I was lucky enough to see Webber play his last home game at the U of Michigan - loved the Fab 5!

• Ryne Nelson Posted: Oct.9 at 3:03 pm
  Vin Baker was one of the NBA’s top talents for a couple good years as well. That dude had injury and weight issues toward the end, but he was as polished on the offensive end (and a beast on the defensive end) as pretty much any power forward at the time.

• larrylegend Posted: Oct.9 at 3:06 pm
  penny was da $hit, remember the 1995 cover with him…so sweet.

• Hussman25 Posted: Oct.9 at 3:20 pm
  This class is VERY CURSED! It’s not fair, Philly DEFINATELY SHOULD HAVE PICKED PENNY! Don’t know what Sixers Management was thinking then… Wait, I don’t know if they know what they are thinking now! Got to love your Philadelphia 76ers! (SMH)

• Gerard Himself Posted: Oct.9 at 3:48 pm
  Man, I totally forgot about the fact that Penny cam in third in the MVP voting. Wow.

• ab_40 Posted: Oct.9 at 3:58 pm
  there is something about orlando players who wear number one go to another club and never be the same again. it’s a shame penny and Tmac never panned out the way we all hoped them to be.

• Glenn Posted: Oct.9 at 4:17 pm
  Is Hunter the only one still playing?

• StF Posted: Oct.9 at 5:47 pm
  if penny had not been injured hed had been the number 3 on that list
  hed had been still playing right now
  probably one of the greatest players and PGs of all time and a Hall of Famer

• Russ Bengtson Posted: Oct.9 at 6:27 pm
  Shawn Bradley was the American Darko.

• sab Posted: Oct.9 at 7:01 pm
  great work Jeff, tho i agree with drew, i’d take Lindsey Hunter over Bradley. that sixers tracksuit was crazy! i need to get me one!

• davidR Posted: Oct.9 at 8:45 pm
  man, what could have been. shaq & webber (would they have made the finals + not have gotten swept by the rockets?) on the magic, penny on the warriors (t.hardaway, p.hardaway, spree, mullin, owens)

• Tariq Posted: Oct.9 at 10:17 pm
  Ah Calbert Cheaney…

• Young Chris MP3 Posted: Oct.9 at 10:34 pm
  It would have been interesting to see the NBA’s top 50 list had Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill never been robbed of their primes due to injuries. In retrospect, Penny on the Suns was what Grant Hill is on the Suns now. He still was a solid contributor while injured.

• Young Chris MP3 Posted: Oct.9 at 10:43 pm
  Even more interesting would have been what the post-Jordan NBA would have been like with both of his “successors” healthy post-98. Remember the 2000 playoffs when an unhealthy Penny had his way with Kobe in the Suns-Lakers series?

• Jukai Posted: Oct.9 at 10:52 pm
  Wouldn’t Chris Webber be considered injury plagued too?

• Tariq Posted: Oct.9 at 11:52 pm
  Jukai:
  Webber had injuries towards the end of his career, not when he was 26.

• ENDS Posted: Oct.10 at 1:39 am
  If we would’ve had Webber, we have ni need 4 Horace Grant and don’t beat the bulls without him our secret weapon that year.

• KH10 Posted: Oct.10 at 4:40 am
  its a crime against bball that cwebb never got a ring, the best passing big man ive ever seen and a beast on the block.
  penny would have been an all time great too.

• Jukai Posted: Oct.10 at 5:30 am
  Tariq: Really?
  Grant Hill really only started to get injured when he was 26/27. Same with Alanzo Mourning.
  Webber missed most of the season when he was 22 and 25… and once he turned 28, he was inconsistent with being in games AT BEST.
  I would consider Chris Webber’s basketball career hurt a lot with injuries.

• Jukai Posted: Oct.10 at 5:34 am
  My bad— he played injury free at 25, the league was locked out.

• Captain Awesome Posted: Oct.10 at 8:09 am
  Bruce Bowen went undrafted in 1993, he should definately be in the top 10.

• PANAGIOTIS VASILOPOULOS Posted: Oct.10 at 8:58 am
  @Jukai…..(5:30 am):correct.

• Tariq Posted: Oct.10 at 1:37 pm
  Jukai:
  As for the time he missed early in his career, I mean, yeah he missed a big chunk of a season due to a shoulder injury, but then he came back and it never bothered him again. So I think that’s fairly common in sports.
  But man, I never realized he was only 30 when his knee exploded! For some reason I thought he was like 33 or something. I guess you could definitely say his career was cut short by injury, but he didn’t have it NEARLY as bad as Penny or Grant Hill. Or T-Mac, for that matter.

• Jeff Fox Posted: Oct.10 at 3:50 pm
  Captain Awesome is right about Bowen - I screwed up and forgot to include him. My bad, as the kids like to say.

• Orlando Green Posted: Oct.10 at 4:09 pm
  I started watching the NBA games when Penny was a rookie…he became my fav player…he was absolutly amazing!!

• Dacre Posted: Oct.11 at 3:04 am
  Penny, Webber and Vin Baker rounded out my NBA custom teams for about 7 years after this draft yr.

• ka Posted: Oct.11 at 5:41 am
  im aware how talented this class was but never occured to me they all had bad luck, wow. for real.

• MikeC. Posted: Oct.11 at 10:47 pm
  “KH10 Posted: Oct.10 at 4:40 am
  its a crime against bball that cwebb never got a ring, the best passing big man ive ever seen and a beast on the block.
  penny would have been an all time great too.” I think Arvydas Sabonis might have a thing or two to say when it comes to the best passing big man. I’m not sure how old you are, so you might never have seen him, but sweet jebus could Sabonis pass. Also, Sabonis and Sheed are the only players I know of who threw up lefty threes during an All-Star game (Sabas in the Rookie Challenge, but still). I concur that Penny would have been an all-time great. Had they not been injured, Penny and Grant could have been the natural bridges the NBA needed to cross from the shores of Jordan to the new world.

• pennydunk_1 Posted: Oct.12 at 7:02 am
  Penny was top alright

• pennydunk_1 Posted: Oct.12 at 7:04 am
  Well Penny is my favorite ever, his overall career though is inferior to Cassell’s

• UnRel Posted: Oct.12 at 1:54 pm
  oh man oh man.. i’m a 5′4″ laker fan… so.. naturally.. nick the quick was by far.. my favorite player in the 90s.. kid was nice.. brought that street game to the forum..
