Can Danny?

Unlike most of his career, Shareef Abdur-Rahim's retirement announcement seems to have flown under the radar. I have to make a note of it because for years, SAR has been the epitome of the good player on a bad team. A guy who puts up stats but never seems to be able to actually help his team win. Of course, he's been overshadowed of late by guys like Zach Randolph, who actually does SAR one better than helps his teams lose, but 'Reef always held a special place for me because he was tied to Antoine Walker. While Antoine was certainly a flawed player, he had a passion and a skil set that helped his teams. I never saw anything out of 'Reef that made him seem like anything more than a very talented #3 star. Yes, I know he played on some terrible teams but one playoff appearance is pathetic. Especially since some of those bad teams would have been playoff-bound if you had replaced 'Reef with an actual star player.

And since I really don't have that much more to say about 'Reef, let's re-rank the top 10 players from the first round of the 1996 draft.
