NBA Draft: Redrafting the Draft Class of 2003

Chris Kaman was a pretty good center who had the misfortune of playing for some really bad rosters during his best years.

The 7-foot German was a traditional center who made his lunch money by jockeying hard for rebounding position and scoring in the low post and through cuts inside the paint. Kaman made one All-Star team in 2010 when he averaged 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.

The center played 13 seasons in the NBA. Drafted by the Clippers with the sixth overall pick in 2003, he played with the franchise for eight straight seasons before going to the Hornets in the trade that netted them, Chris Paul.

He then signed with the Dallas Mavericks as a free agent next season, before being traded to the Lakers for their 2013-14 season.

His final two seasons were spent with the Portland Trail Blazers before he announced his retirement in 2016.
