| 1 | Los Angeles Clippers | Usenet | Mike Bibby | -1 | Bibby went to Vancouver. I'm not sure why. |
| NBA | Michael Olowokandi | ||||
| 2 | Vancouver Grizzlies | Usenet | Paul Pierce | -8 | Paul took a huge slide. Bibby gives Vancouver what, 4 PG's? Can't blame the Usenet GM, almost all Mock drafts had Pierce take by 5. |
| NBA | Mike Bibby | ||||
| 3 | Denver Nuggets | Usenet | Michael Olowokandi | +2 | Olowokandi really jumped in the days before the draft. Denver wishes it could be so lucky. A good pick for Thad. |

| NBA | Antwan Jamison | ||||
| 5 | Golden State Warriors | Usenet | Larry Hughes | -3 | Russ said, don't draft Vince. So they traded him to Toronto. Russ selected Brevin Knight last year and that worked out so we shall see. |
| NBA | Vince Carter | ||||
| 6 | Dallas Mavericks | Usenet | Dirk Nowitzki | -3 | Was Dirk in or was he out? He is going to play in Europe from what I hear. |
| NBA | Robert Traylor | ||||

| 8 | Philadelphia 76ers | Usenet | Vince Carter | +3 | |
| NBA | Larry Hughes | ||||
| 9 | Milwaukee Bucks | Usenet | Robert Traylor | +3 | Traylor decided to get into shape after leaving Michigan (for which I'm sure the Wolverines is much appreciated). |

| 15 | Orlando Magic | Usenet | Pat Garrity | -4 | Garrity was had a bit of a slip but is a solid player. Not a bad pick for the Orlando Usenet'ers. |

| NBA | Mirsad Turkcan | ||||
| 19 | Milwaukee Bucks | Usenet | Keon Clark | +6 | Usenet GM's had "Tweeners" and players with a bad attitude. A big +6 for the Bucks. |

| 20 | Atlanta Hawks | Usenet | Matt Harpring | +5 | |
| NBA | Roshown McLeod | ||||
| 21 | Charlotte Hornets | Usenet | Brian Skinner | -1 | Ricky Davis!! Ricky had a great camp and great workouts. I thought that Charlotte would take Mohammed. Ricky did not get picked by the Usenet'ers |
| NBA | Ricky Davis | ||||
| 22 | Los Angeles Clippers | Usenet | Vladimir Stepanija | -5 | Not a bad pick by the Charlotte GM. -1 at this point is great. |
| NBA | Brian Skinner | ||||
| 23 | Denver Nuggets | Usenet | Miles Simon | -19 | A big hit for Thad. Simon really started to slide when he skipped the Desert Classic. |

| 24 | San Antonio Spurs | Usenet | Ansu Sesay | -6 | |
| NBA | Felipe Lopez | ||||
| 25 | Indiana Pacers | Usenet | Felipe Lopez | +1 | What a pick! +1 is really good. Lopez might help the Spurs but I'm not sure about his outside shot. |
| NBA | Al Harrington | ||||
| 26 | Los Angeles Lakers | Usenet | Bryce Drew | +10 | A huge +10 for the Lakers. Drew had a great Chicago camp and really jumped. I'm not sure about going at #16. |

| Seattle Sonics | NBA | Rashard Lewis | |||
| 33 | Portland Trailblazers | Usenet | Radoslav Nesterovic | +16 | I knew this would bite the Usenet'ers. The funny thing is that the Minn. GM wrote the scouting report for Nesterovic and hated him. |
| Seattle Sonics | NBA | Jelani McCoy | |||
| 34 | Cleveland Cavs | Usenet | Jelani McCoy | +1 | McCoy had a bad Chicago Camp. A good pick for the Cleveland Usenet GM. |
