Yao Ming the Star of the 2002 Draft

Yao Ming post plays

While Ming the first pick in the 2002 has never been the revolutionary
player that some predicted but he is far from the stiff that more
seemed to predict. The nice thing about Yao is that he is a terrific
player and no one can ever say that he was a poor choice for the
Rockets.

Ming is one of only 4 all stars from that draft.

Amare Stoudemire at #9, Caron Butler at #10 and Carlos Boozer at #34.

In a very poor draft Jay Williams went at #2 and Dujuan Wagner at #6.
Brandon Roy declared for the 2002 draft out of High School but withdrew
his name. That worked out well for him.
