Twelve players from this draft ended up playing for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Michael Redd was definitely the best in this draft and my personal favorite in the 00’s him and Desmond Mason were a dynamic duo.
I would say Redd or Martin was the best.
Redd’s production was definitely better and he had an All-NBA selection, but at his most impactful, Martin was one of the best players on a more successful team than Redd was ever a part of.
I could see either one being considered the best.
@@fortynights1513I definitely can’t argue with that. If it weren’t for the injuries to both of them what could’ve been
Being from Ohio and next to Columbus, my dad actually played pickup ball in Columbus with Michael redd one time in the 90’s. Pretty cool story
@@Noles4life77I would’ve loved to see that. Redd was a slasher dunker back in his early years.
I like Desmond a Redd
love how despite being a very underwhelming draft class, people in the comments still appreciate each and every one of em
right!
because this isn't an actually underwhelming draft class. The draft classes in 2010's were much worst than this. Even the draft class 2023 looks like one of the worst ones out there. When injuries are part of every draft class, it's not that easy to point out the worst one
@jadentran9895 Idk about that man.
2023 has Wemby, JJJ, Podz, Brandon Miller, Lively & multiple other guys that have looked good.
The class has half a season under their belt, so it's far too early to make assumptions like that.
Jamal Crawford had the best longevity of this class. He almost has 20,000 career points in the regular season, and if you include the playoffs, he has over 20,000 career points scored. He also leads his entire draft class in career points scored. That's remarkable for a majority bench player.
Well almost 20k points
The Vanilla Gorilla, Joel Pryzbilla was awesome on the blazers. One of the best nicknames
yesssirrrr
Redd was an All Star level player but injuries killed his career
Mike Miller is one of the best of the 2000s draft
Early in the nba number 1 picks didnt even last long or make a huge impact until oscar robertson really
Wow you remember Oscar Robertson?
@puffkendrick6850 lol who doesn't? Before Westbrook, he was only guy to average a triple double
Yea! This is why I enjoy these type of videos.Very educational.
Marko Jaric sure did got lucky on grabbing a supermodel
David sterns face during the 4 names that were hard to pronounce lol
frrrr
So many players who had their careers derailed by injuries
Hedu was the man on those magic teams with Dwight.
Hedo*
Joel Pryzbilla The Great White Gorilla - that was his nickname. I remember most of these guys and their careers, but as a blazers fan, of course I remember Joel the best. Painfully underappreciated player. Very impactful on and off the court. Class act. Always will be a fan of his.
I STILL say Jamal Crawford was the best player Here and deserved an all star... The pg slot was just STACKED
Jamal Over Michael Redd and Kenyon Martin?
@@LockdownK i hate to say it, but I also have longevity bias. Sure, their peaks are higher, but Jamal's been doing it all overall for a long time
That’s a good point tbh
He absolutely was not better than Redd and he also never once deserved an all star appearance
Was a 1 way player didn’t defend didn’t play make didn’t even start on his own teams
It’s easy to be mid for a long time though. If you aren’t doing much in the game you have no reason to get injured. Michael redd has dropped a bunch of super high scoring games. His career wasn’t even that short either lmao. Sidenote: why and how did the bucks end up picking up so many players of the 2000 draft class?
Hedo is another good player of the 2000s draft
Definitely should’ve been an all star
Mike Miller was pretty damn good. Hell of a shooter.
You should have mentioned how Hedo robbed the Raps blind with that horrible contract.
Those Miami days were legendary!
@@LockdownK No doubt.
The financial information is dope! Keep it going!
You forgot about Hanno Möttölä who was the 40th overall pick in the 2000 NBA Draft and was selected by the Atlanta Hawks.
In his youth Möttölä played for Helsinki NMKY (originally run by the Finnish version of the YMCA founded in 1929, not kidding). Möttölä played College Ball in Utah from 1996 all the way to 2000.
Möttölä played two full seasons for the Hawks totaling 4.6 PPG, 2.9 RPG and 0.2 PPG in 154 Games Played.
After his NBA years Möttölä played EuroLeague in Spain, Italy, Lithuania, EuroCup in Russia and again EuroLeague in Greece before retiring from pro basketball in 2008. Möttölä did play couple of games for II. Divisioona (2nd. Division) amateur team FC Passe and after that he made a comeback with ToPo in the Finnish Basketball League and played for the Finnish National Team before retiring for good in 2013.
Before Lauri Markkanen there was Hanno Möttölä.
Dang! You sure know a lot about him
Great video by the way thanks
This video was amazing. So much research. Respect
Glad you liked it!
I just subbed to your channel… I’ve been watching a ton of your draft videos and I love your energy, knowledge and well edited content man! Excellent work!
You the man! Appreciate the comment
Just discovered you channel, good content bro keep doing what you’re doing
I appreciate you g!
K-Mart was a hooper. He was such a fun player to watch on offense.
First 15 minutes is crazy
Bro Kenyon played for 15 yrs, was a huge reason why New Jersey went to two NBA finals. Hego was a huge reason the Magic went to the finals. Jamal Crawford was a problem, played 20 yrs and one of the greatest bucket getters ever. Michael Redd had injuries but when on the court, 20 plus easy. Mike Miller pretty won the Heat a chip against OkC in game 5. Deshawn Stevenson was a lock down guard and was important in beating and the heat. Q Richardson was one of most reliable 3 point shooters in the league. 2000 had some hitters
Too think NBA players made millions of dollars but still had to scam in the end is crazy and ppl think there safe with their 9-5
A great lesson to all to save their earned money! It’s not all supposed to be spent
I had a Chris Mihm bobble head on my shelf as a kid. No idea how the hell I ended up with it, I had never even been to a Lakers game, but he’s lived on with me because of that.
An early Christmas present - Thank you very much!! Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy new year looking forward to your uploads in 2024. Great video as always - keep up the great work and the high output rate!
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you as well!
Top three of this draft for sure is Jamal Crawford, Michael Redd (Who if not for injuries would be Number 1 of this draft, no question) and Mike Miller, honorable mention to Kenyon Martin and Hedo.
Yes worst draft ever. Your UA-cam channel has really good content. Thank you !!
Glad you liked it thank you!
before 2000 there are a lot early entry and high school players were drafted in 1997, 1998 and 1999. imagine players like tracy mcgrady, al harrington or rashard lewis going to college for 2 or 3 years and come out in 2000. also if lamar odom, corey maggette and shawn marion stay in college for one more year and draft in 2000
Stro Show what a player! So fun to watch!
Very interesting Persperctive. But maybe the people drafting and running the teams during that time didn't know what they were doing which can also lead to players not having success ( Some Teams stockpile talent but suck at putting an actually good winning team together.)
Could be! I guess we would have to look at the GMS and scouts back then!
Blah blah blah. Look at the talent on this list and tell me they would have been any better in any other situations. Stop it. The gms didn't have anything to do with anything. This was the least talented draft. Period.
@@ThePrufessa blah blah blah back at cha and your opinion. About my.opinion 🤣🤣🤣
@Intellectually_Ignorant_brand like I previously said....look at the talent and tell me WHO would have been better in a different situation. If you're not willing to defend your nonsense opinion just say that. Until then you can miss me with your bullshit.
No. There just wasn’t much worthwhile talent in this class. Kenyon Martin was a 4 year college player with a broken leg and still went #1 without any second guessing. Which means there weren’t any standout prospects from high school or college underclassmen.
I know in the NFL Tom Brady was drafted in the same year in 2000. Imagine an NBA version of this player. White, old (23 or 24 as a rookie), average speed and size as a guard but went undrafted, no tats, choose to play for the clippers, won 7-9 rings, 6-7 time finals MVP, played like Nash, Kidd, Steph, Stockton. Hit 2-3 GW shots in game 7’s of NBA finals. Single handidly made the clippers a top 3 franchise ever. All time leading scorer and assist guy but never dunked or blocked a shot in a game. He would have been in his last year currently in the NBA in year 24 at the age of 46 or retired last year and would be considered 1 or 2 all time between him and MJ.
Imagine a guy like that being undrafted in 2000 in one of the worst drafts ever!!!
^^^^
Isn't this basically Nikola Jokic?
@@blueredlover1060Were the Nuggets in 2014 considered as bad as the Clippers in 2000?
I totally forgot K-Mart was a number one overrall pick. This draft had quite a few solid role players.
It's like the entire draft was over drafted by a round or so
this honestly is it right here ^^
Just how it is sometimes. Nobody from the class looked like a #1 pick but someone had to be.
Sad that Orlando had THREE lottery picks in such a poor draft class.
I did not know fif was related to kmart. Though I never knew his name until now.
He used to pick me up on his teams at run n shoot (R.I.P.) when i was a youngin back in the day (at least until real competition showed up). Throwing lobs was so fun, and made me feel like an actual PG.
This was interesting
Appreciate it!
14:59 nah that was a great dunk did you see how it was shaking 😂
idk? Can make a solid NBA squad with the guys from 2000 Draft.
SG Michael Redd
PG Jamal Crawford
PF Kenyon Martin
SF Mike Miller
C Chris Mihm or Joel Przybilla
6th man Quentin Richardson
Baarreeelllly a playoff team once you account for injuries,
Damn that's crazy
If Crawford is in your starting lineup you’re not a playoff team. If he’s your starting PG someone in the organization is getting fired by end of season.
This gonna be this years draft bunch of great role players with some debatable Allstars imo
How does this guy got only 14.6k subs bro puts so much effort into this
Appreciate you g!
12:24 - I'm guessing guy has Polish roots, in here "rz" is pronounced as one sound (kinda like "ch" in "cheese") and it would be kinda like "pshy-bila"
Do you know what you didn't mention about Chris Porter was he was our starter for over 1/3 the season. And there's something nobody outside of the Bay would know: fans absolutely EMBRACED him. The 2000 draft was a shit show, but with Porter, it felt like a first round guy had fallen into our laps. But then you heard he wasn't a model guy off the court, and it was like "there's ALWAYS a catch" with the Warriors. And there was. We traded him because he felt after starting 30+ games that he didn't need to come the summer camp, so the Dubs traded him the Hornets. He missed flights to Charlotte so they waived him out of spite. People who didn't see him play would be like "eh, another second round flame-out." No, he had the stuff, talent wise. He could have been a contributor for a decade in the NBA and probably been one of those guys who made a single or pair of all-star games. He had a fan favorite vibe about him because he would fly down the court like a bat out of hell. The fans in the Bay LOVED him, but he didn't have the right head for the NBA. Or life, apparently. The SA charges are disgusting.
Thankfully, the Warriors wouldn't ever have a problem with a second round pick ever again. Not in 2001. No sir. We didn't draft a generational player and then lose him in a way so heartbreaking the NBA had to change the rules for how you could re-sign 2nd rounders. 😭
Oh I wasn't disputing he wasn't a flame-out. Just that he was an atypical flame out. Unlike most, he actually had the talent to not only last, but be a desirable player. It's a crying shame, really. There's something about squandered talent that hurts. @@AmiriHipHop
There were questions about him at auburn too. At first he looked like a budget Kobe, but then you look closer and…no.
Big year for Michigan born players.
Martin
Cleaves
Fizer
Peterson
Ira Newble was part of the rookie class but went updrafted
Most of those guys from 2000 draft was in nba 2k10
Hey do the 2002 nba draft class next 🙏🏽
Coming soon!
Michael redds jump shot is criminal but aye that shit was butter Lmfao
Darius Miles played for East St. Louis
This draft & the 1989 draft are at the draft’s “Best of the worst” list…
right
11:13 The Cavs trading J Crawford to the Bulls has got to be one of the worst trades of all time.
A few years after this LeBron would have been on this team with Crawford. What could have been 😮
Stern was struggling with some of those names lmao
frrr
daaamn 24 years ago... the years pass quickly
right!
aside from K Martin, who tf are these players on the first top 5 picks?
Turk balled out in Sacramento with bibby webber divac and stoacavich
bucks legend Michael Redd sighting
I'll always have a little love for Darius Miles and DerMarr Johnson haha
Mike Miller was a really good baller and a certified shooter from deep ,he had a very solid career.No flash but effective .This is what bugs me with the hype .People are always waiting for insane highlights ,star system and so on whereas basketball is also about skills and strategy.Jamal Crawford was awesome .But many underwhelming players like Chris Mihm who was a very mundane center.Jerome Moiso had the talent and the potential to be a really good NBA player.He originated from our INSEP (french elite training for gifted young athletes )but it seems to me he lacked motivation.
This title and that question mark is disrespectful......😂
Crawford for me is one if the best ball handlers in NBA
he was him!
For people who don't know.. DerMar Johnson was a problem. This was a 6'9 dude with handles and crazy length who could defend any spot on the floor. He really could have been one of the greats.
It's crazy how most of those guys was legends at one point before becoming a pro. Half I don't even remember playing.
Right!
Hedo what a player
Jason Collier was a friend of mine. Kinda ahead of his time as a big man who could shoot (but I dont think he was physical enough for today's game).
He was never a star, was never going to be a star, but they *loved* him in Atlanta - which just goes to show what a great guy he was. He died on my wedding day (which was *October* 15, 2005 by the way). Hilarious and kind dude. I miss him.
Also I lived in Milwaukee in 2000, and you can imagine the rollercoaster thinking my bud was coming to town, then just a few minutes later pissed off that he got traded to Houston for Przybilla (come on, you're just swapping one 7 footer for another).
@@VinceWhitacreI use to be a fellow Milwaukee native as well may he R.I.P.😞
I’ve heard some say that Collier had an enlarged heart.
@@fortynights1513 he definitely had a big ♥️ that's for sure.
All stars in the whole entire class and one all nba That’s the worst draft class all time
2000 was the year everyone excepted players to dunk more and jump higher, many great talent in this draft but rew.. i wouldn't call that the worst draft no way
what would you call the worst?
This is mostly just a mid draft class with a bunch of athletic what if prospects
^
Nets made the finals because of Jason Kidd not Martin
Was it not because of both of them?
He didn’t hurt.
1986 was the worst NBA draft ever….by far.
Drugs ruined/killed a lot of players in that draft.
looks like i need to do a video on that draft
Micheal Redd was tough!
He was! But so were those injuries
Actually pretty solid draft no superstars but a lot of solid vets
I don’t know about all years (1973 was really bad) but 2000 was the worst in my lifetime. The distinction for this class is the arguably best player here is the all time leader in losses. Something poetic about that.
I think the 2024 draft is comparable to this one in terms of star power
you think so?
@LockdownK maybe. No obvious star power in either draft but perhaps this current draft has a bit more depth? We will see.
Lots of draft day trades 😂
^
Ima disagree this draft was better than the 01 draft and the Andrew Wiggins draft
The Vanilla Gorilla has a special place in the hearts of all Blazer fans.
Jerome lives in my garage
I remember Marko Jaric just because of his wife, not because of his NBA career 😂😂😂
💀
Fizer was a huge disappointment. Tinsley,his ISU teammate turned out better.
10:26 Cleveland?
Was k martin the main guy in that nets team?
Him and Jason Kidd
I was 17 in 2000
I totally forgot about most of these guys haha. Pretty bad draft year for sure!
^
Star-wise, 2000 it wasn't a good draft. But this draft produced a lot of valuable role-players. 2006 is worse than this draft.
Absolutely not This draft only produced three one time All-Stars '06 has several. And way more recognizable players 06's disappointing but not flat out bad like this one or 2013.
I'm going to have to agree with the other guy in this comment, there were definitely role players in this draft but they weren't top role players
@@ikedatike2533 not to mention 4 guys from 06 earned all-nba nods. this draft had one.
i agree with@@LockdownK and the first guy. 2000 had a lot of okay role players. most drafts have a few good ones and a few stars. but this was a better draft for those outside the lottery
There were a few one off all stars but no player from the 2000 class made an all defensive team. Michael Redd made all NBA third team once and that was it. A handful of this class made decent role players and 6th men. Most of the class was so bad it made the league worse for a few years.
he helped take the nets*
no disrespect to you, its a good video idea, but ive realized im just listening to David Stern read off the names of almost all nobodies (relative to my time as a fan) that are going in one ear and out the other lol
fuckin love Jamal Crawford tho
Lolll
Will this year draft be the worse after the Pistons breaking the record it's a sad future for draft picks
Give it about 10 years and we will see
I’m sad that’s my birth year now :(
Why was Jamal Crawford never an All-Star ?
People who do same videos, they're unwatchable compares to yours. Good job on doing a lot of homework on your videos and give good information vs the other casuals.
preciate you g!
@@LockdownK don't end up being a chanel who makes up dumb narratives and overreaction analysis and just spew media FALSE narratives which many of NBA channels does and its unwatchable and ill definitely call you out for it and call how dumb you are and how trash this channel would be.
If I get to that point lemme know, but I don't plan on doing that anytime soon
14:19 nahh
No Eduardo Najera? Dude is a legend in Mexico
Was he in the 2nd round?
Kenyon talks too crazy for those stats
This upcoming 2024 draft might be this ass
I’m a long time Bucks season ticket holder and 14 of the worst draft class ever playing for them explains why they were garbage for most of the 2000’s
No offense I had no idea who the 6th pick was
Overseas and international aren't synonymous... Playing overseas isn't playing international. Playing for your country is...
"Forgoing" means not to decline to take or go without, Kenyon Martin JR is not forgoing his own NBA career. I think you put that in the wrong spot. lol
bet
Is dwight howard not the rookie of the year??
