Corrections: - Kyrie played six seasons for CC - Mirotic plays for Barcelona not Real Madrid 😅 - Vuc was involved in the 4 team trade for dwight howard, he was not a back up behind him - Jan Vesley actually had a good career overseas & has played with Mirotic Barcelona
Incredible journey and resilience of Jimmy Butler, one of the true gems from the 2011 NBA Draft. It's amazing to see how he turned a seemingly weaker draft class into a memorable one with his determination and work ethic.
Jimmy Butler seems to have really changed the game, you don't even notice the players drafted before him. He's just that big of a deal that he gets drafted.
maybe YOU don't notice kawhi leonard, but i do. jimmy and kawhi have some similarities in their games. and although kawhi is way too injury prone, when he plays he is my #1. kawhi, kyrie, jimmy, and klay make a helluva draft just by themselves.
This was a surprisingly deep draft. Jimmy's journey is definitely an inspirational one and its good to see him get his flowers. The rest of this draft had a great mix of perennial all stars and really great role players, tbh most of these teams did not miss. You've done a great job recapping this for us. Definitely earned a subscriber here.
Jimmy Butler is an incredible player, he really has made his mark clear in the NBA. So proud of what he was able to achieve this season. The 2011 NBA draft was truly crazy dry, However most rafts are capable of producing a legend. Great video loved seeing some of these older moments in the NBA. thanks FOR SHARING!
The 2011 draft is probably the most underrated draft of all time you had Kawhi Leonard Kyrie, Irving and , Klay Thompson and Mind you this is the only draft, and that decade that three players won a championship from that draft
Good video, thanks! Couple of notes from the Euroleague: both Vasley and Mirotic have become Euroleague hall of famers: * Mirotic is playing for Barcelona, not Real Madrid. He was the Euroleague MVP in 2022. * Jan Vasley is currently teammate with Mirotic in Barcelona. He also had a fantastic career in Europe, winning Euroleague MVP in 2019 and the Euroleague title in 2017 with the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe.
I am not really a basketball fan. However, due to my granddaughter's extreme interest in basketball, I have been watching some of the games with her. Thanks for sharing the information about the various players. Jimmy Butler does appear to be an excellent player.
Very cool video about the players drafted before Butler. A few were huge successes like Kyrie. Some pretty much flopped. Drafts have become more interesting in all sports and the NBA draft is particularly intriguing!
It feels like, in one way or another, nearly every pick brought some value and wasn't much of a 'bust' until Chris Singleton at 18, and then the picks with value picked right back up after him. This draft class was loaded with recognizable names at talent at all different levels.
Went to your page after this video to check out some others and found out to see this was your first one. This is the content of an established UA-camr and I applaud you for the quality of this. Keep it up, I subbed immediately
Holy cow. I made it thru the entire video thinking how have I not seen this channel before this was really put together. Only a few hundred subscribers… keep the videos like this coming and your gonna be big in no time bro. 🐐
I don't know if you or anyone else has done it, but I'd love to see a video series on how well each team drafted since the turn of the millennium. For example, Butler's one of the Bulls' picks, and they had some great ones, but the team couldn't ever advance too far into the playoffs. Also, congrats on having a breakout video!
I'm a Heat fan, so this found its way into my algorithm. I thought D Williams was gonna be huge. Absolutely forgot most of these names. Great work, dude. SUBBED.
same situation here. Watching game 7 post game interviews and this popped up. I remember when he was in Chicago and Heat were struggling against the Bulls. All of a sudden Jimmy showed up and it got even scarier. Now he's my overall Heat player of all time. Its great to see a hard working guy that is so hated by the league and press to keep finding ways to win. Before he was in Miami he was a problem everywhere he went. Even when he came to Miami. He is a bad teammate, he will ruin the locker room, he will get Tyler Hero in trouble and be a bad influence blah blah blah.
Certainly it is interesting to know these details and what happened to these players they looked very promising. I hope they can get their shot at some point because there were very good players on this group.
I went to school with Kenneth Faried. I was hoping you would mention his college days. He went to an extremely small college in a country eastern Ky town. We used to go to some of the same parties. He was a cool dude. Was sad to see his career cut short. Dudes a beast. Fun fact he knocked up a local girl 😂
thats amazing! He seems like a chill guy in general. This was my first video so I didn't think to include his college days but its something i do now because it is an important part to the players journey There is a little Kenneth Faried JR out there??????
If Jimmy was drafted in the top 15 he never would've become the player he is today. The fact no one really believed in him is what made him work harder than anyone else. We've seen this with quite a few other guys who were drafted late. Isaiah Thomas for example was the 60th pick and went on to become an All Star and an absolute beast on that Celtics team.
Yeah, there really is something to be said about great, yet underrated players. Should have happened a lot sooner, in my opinion. A lot went on for some of these other players. Wow!
what do you mean, the 2011 drafts was one of the best in history, producing players such as Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Nikola Vucivic, Jimmy Butler, and Isaih Thomas.
I remember Jimmy as a rookie here in Chicago. He was behind Dang at the time. He was not that good and got little playing time but he work his butt off over the summer and learned a lot from Dang whom work with him along with tips during the summer with Jordan. My point is this isn't someone that was a gem. This is someone whom work very hard at his craft and got better and better over the years. He wanted to win here but was traded after the issues with number 1 Rose. The Bulls went for a new start up group. He did not want to play for Tibs (Coach In Chicago) that blow out Rose. Tibs is known for playing you all 35 minutes for 82 games. His nick name Buckets come from Stacy King another former Chicago (Jordan) player who would announce games here in Chicago. In Chicago Jimmy was known as a hard working Player with excellent defending skills & lots of Buckets around the rim.
Kenneth Faried once went off,& was the best player on a USA world championship team-when Kyrie had 1 of the best gold medal games ever. And we thought Reggie Jackson would be a big pickup for Denver-back home where he went to HS...but hes not part of the playoff rotation. Hopefully get his 1st ring though very soon.
On November 25, 2014, Butler tied a career-high with 32 points in a loss to the Denver Nuggets.[15] On December 3, 2014, he was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for games played in October/November.
Hey bro! This was such a sick vid, especially from someone who isn’t an avid ball watcher! I feel like I learnt heaps about a draft that I had never heard about really. I just want to let you know whenever you transition back from the draft pick clips you have a small audio carry over from your previous draft pick. Nothing huge, just some feedback homie! Thanks for making this vid ✌🏽

keep working man for this to be the first video this is amazing
You listed Tristan Thompson and Enes Kantor as 3rd overall
Jan won the euroleague with Fenerbahçe and bring the trophy to Turkey for the first time
Maybe you can re-record this video with correct stats and notes.
Also, Kyle Lowry was an Allstar for the Raptors in 2019. You said Kawhi was the lone Allstar.

Right!
i ss
Same thing with the 2014 draft and Jokic. Going to be a great Finals!
Jimmy Butler seems to have really changed the game, you don't even notice the players drafted before him. He's just that big of a deal that he gets drafted.
How did he changed the game?
maybe YOU don't notice kawhi leonard, but i do. jimmy and kawhi have some similarities in their games. and although kawhi is way too injury prone, when he plays he is my #1. kawhi, kyrie, jimmy, and klay make a helluva draft just by themselves.
Did jimmy add new rules to basketball? What is it that he did that changed the game of basketball? It’s still the same sport.
@@NeverNotHoopin his dad did
No

Dare I say this is an Underrated Draft Class ?
Very underrated
Jimmy Butler is an incredible player, he really has made his mark clear in the NBA. So proud of what he was able to achieve this season. The 2011 NBA draft was truly crazy dry, However most rafts are capable of producing a legend. Great video loved seeing some of these older moments in the NBA. thanks FOR SHARING!
thanks!
Always loved the passion and toughness of Jimmy Butler, really awesome that he's now a player that everyone can see is a beast.
It’s incredible that this man is so good yet so overlooked at the same time
Exactly!
You must be talking about Nicola Jokic the real 3 time MVP.
For a first vid, I've never seen such a beautifully executed video! Give your researcher a raise!
That’s exactly what I was gonna say. Hell of a debut video.
First vid? A lot of raw talent. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for sharing video about What Happened To The 29 Players Drafted Before Jimmy Butler?
Thank you for doing a video like this that doesn’t just take massive dumps on everyone.
Jimmy Butler is an incredible player, he really has made his mark clear in the NBA.
agreed!
The 2011 draft is probably the most underrated draft of all time you had Kawhi Leonard Kyrie, Irving and , Klay Thompson and
Mind you this is the only draft, and that decade that three players won a championship from that draft
Not only that the household named role players were deep this draft
great points!
@@vonscooby yupp also that
Good video, thanks! Couple of notes from the Euroleague: both Vasley and Mirotic have become Euroleague hall of famers:

* Jan Vasley is currently teammate with Mirotic in Barcelona. He also had a fantastic career in Europe, winning Euroleague MVP in 2019 and the Euroleague title in 2017 with the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe.
Ahhhh so thats where Jan went!
He proved that success is not solely determined by where you are drafted but by the effort you put in
I am not really a basketball fan. However, due to my granddaughter's extreme interest in basketball, I have been watching some of the games with her. Thanks for sharing the information about the various players. Jimmy Butler does appear to be an excellent player.
This is an outstanding debut video for a channel. Well done, excited to see what else you put out.
Excellent debut video! Also I’m a heat fan so Go Heat💪🏽🔥
Would not be able to tell it was your first vid, very well made video could tell all the research and effort you put into it great job!
This draft was deeper than I remembered. Plenty of talent that’s lasted at least 5-7 years.
For Real!
I REALLY LOVE THIS KIND OF CONTENT. PLEASE DO MORE ESPECIALLY TO THOSE NOTABLE PLAYERS.
NEXT JOKIC
Nice video about this Jimmy Butler seems to have really changed the game !
Very cool video about the players drafted before Butler. A few were huge successes like Kyrie. Some pretty much flopped. Drafts have become more interesting in all sports and the NBA draft is particularly intriguing!
What a stacked draft this was. This setup the NBA for a long time
Jimmy Butler is actually my favorite player so thank you for making this video lol new subscriber

Good content. 👍🏽👏🏽🏀 Jimmy's growing up as young child story is worth talking about.
Might need to do that video next!

Nah Ftedette was a bust
@@samheard7849 well original commenter said nearly
This is actually just a great well put together video
Bro really said 2011 draft wasn't good. It's one of the best in the 10's

Definitely enjoyed the video & may you please continue to make more content 🙌🏽
2k13 that Knicks team was nasty with JR and Shumpert who dunked on literally everything
JR and Crawford were always the 2k cheat codes to trade for
Certainly it is interesting to know these details and what happened to these players they looked very promising. I hope they can get their shot at some point because there were very good players on this group.
You got some talent here. Keep uploading
Drafts have become more interesting in all sports and the NBA draft is particularly intriguing!
i actually met enes kanter the other da and played baskeball with him and against him at my school. He is such a cool and chill guy tbh
what a welcome to youtube man! Awesome video, cant wait to see what you put out in the future, I love videos like this!
What a great path that Jimmy Butler took !!
this was a well made video

Well put together video 🙌🏾
Considering the average NBA players career is 4 years this was a really good draft with a bunch of future champions
Great video bro
Kawhi is also a two time 3-peat stopper😭😭
2011 draft was crazy ! Kyrie, kawhi, walker, butler ....
Great video. Keep up the good work
Dare I say this is an Underrated Draft Class
This draft was more deep than i remembered
You deserve so much more then 184 subs, great video man!
thanks!

great video for your first one! keep up the work
A really good update on those players. I bet teams regret not taking Butler.
FR!
Great video bro! Looking forward to seeing the amazing content you'll be coming up with 🔥🔥
Precaite it chief!
1:50 saying Kyrie played 3 seasons in Cleveland is so unintentionally funny
lmaoooo
You earned a sub because of this edit. Jimmy Bear is the MVP ❤❤❤
I've always liked watching Jimmy even when he was on the bulls as 80 overall in 2k haha. And APPRECIATE that sub!
he really has made his mark clear in the NBA. Jimmy Butler is great.
0:46 ?? 2011 draft being weak?
Kawhi, Kemba, Kyrie, Jimmy, Jonas, Klay, Tobias, Brandon Knight, Tristian Thompson nah bruh what you mean
Also more to mention but this draft is hella strong
what do you mean, the 2011 drafts was one of the best in history, producing players such as Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Nikola Vucivic, Jimmy Butler, and Isaih Thomas.
One of the brightest stars in the NBA. Didn't know he was with Cleveland though.
I remember Jimmy as a rookie here in Chicago. He was behind Dang at the time. He was not that good and got little playing time but he work his butt off over the summer and learned a lot from Dang whom work with him along with tips during the summer with Jordan.

thibs and d rose were both gone by the time jimmy left.. we had hoiberg at the time
It’s Deng
There’s no way you said 2011 was a weak draft😭😭 Kyrie, Kawhi, Klay, Kemba, IT ect
damn you deserve more followers, amazing quality, keep it up.
Bro great video! Keep it up!
As this is your first video i can only say to you keep it up.
Great start for your youtube adventure and best of luck.
thanks bro!
Jimmy Butler is an awesome player and I can't believe others didn't snatch him up quicker in the draft.
agreed!
That one shumpert highlight where he blocked klays shot in the hoop😂
Kenneth Faried once went off,& was the best player on a USA world championship team-when Kyrie had 1 of the best gold medal games ever. And we thought Reggie Jackson would be a big pickup for Denver-back home where he went to HS...but hes not part of the playoff rotation. Hopefully get his 1st ring though very soon.

Jimmy Butler is impossible not to root for.
especially with everything he has gone through

Number 19…. “Tobias Harris over me!!??”
Will be interesting to see how these drafts effect the season from here
yyyuupppp
While OKC trading Reggie away seemed questionable, he was beefing with Russ cuz he wanted to start. So it made more sense from inside the building
“Look at you, do your job” 😭
great job bro
Thank you!

Aye bro didn’t realize this was your first video, keep up the good work this was very well made
