Revisiting the 2005 NBA Draft
by Gary Washburn Filed under: Bucks , Hawks , Hornets , Jazz , NBA Draft FanHouse fixes a decade of draft-day blunders in Revisiting the NBA Draft . The 2005 NBA Draft would change the course of the future of two teams — the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks . There was no clear-cut No. 1 pick, but Utah’s Andrew Bogut was big, skilled and NBA ready. He wasn’t the most convincing or dominant No. 1 pick, especially with Dwight Howard averaging a double-double in his rookie season, but he appeared to be the best choice for the Bucks. Meanwhile, the Hawks decided on a player who was a sixth man of his college team. Marvin Williams had all the physical tools to be a star but played just one season at North Carolina. He fed off the Tar Heels’ national title run and opted for the draft. It sounded like a good idea, although he was only 19. It’s not that these were poor choices. Neither Bogut nor Williams are busts. They are productive NBA players, but when compared with the next two drafted, they are disappointments.
