I agree that Hedo was a good player. Might have made the best contributions to winning teams of the class. Solid role player with the Kings (6MOY) when they were good and made a lot of starts on some very good Magic playoff teams that made a pair of nice, deep playoff runs. Overall the draft class was less than average though for sure. It happens.... And this was one of those years.
Stephon Castle will be a great player. And prob a HOF He was drafted by the best team possible to perfect his skills with the best players and the best timeline for him.
This was basically the solid role player draft. This draft had some solid players, but it was basically the “Solid supporting guy” or “X-factor” draft. But a good number of these guys are pretty good players in their own right.
The problem with this time period was there were pretty much 3 weak drafts in a row. 2000 was historically awful, but 2001/2002 weren’t much better. The basketball was terrible then without an influx of good talent. The incredible 2003 draft changed the trajectory of the league in the right direction
My favorite like that is the '99 draft. A bit overpowered with some true All-Stars at the top (of a re-draft) with guys like Elton Brand, Richard Hamilton, and Manu, plus Baron Davis and Lamar Odom right below that... Steve Francis a classic talent>production guy... but after those, you could still fill out your team with nice starters or key role players like Shawn Marion, Andrei Kirilenko, Ron Artest, Andre Miller, Wally Szczerbiak, Jason Terry, James Posey, Jeff Foster, Devean George, plus undrafted Raja Bell... I mean, if you were a team like DEN (a legit contender, but not as deep as the BOS, OKC types) who just needed depth, imagine the '99 draft allowing you to get AK47 and then Raja Bell in the 2nd round! (I'm not counting Manu in the late 2nd, that's unfair.)
@@dantegood2195 2001 was WAY better than 2000! Tyson Chandler, Pau Gasol, Joe Johnson, Zach Randolph, Tony Parker and Gilbert Arenas were all All-NBA or All-Defense guys! 2 Hall of Famers!

Then meaningful starters like Shane Battier, Eddy Curry, Gerald Wallace, and finally useful rotational pieces like Jason Richardson, DeSagana Diop, Richard Jefferson, Brendan Haywood, Sam Dalembert, and Jamaal Tinsley. And undrafted gems F Andres Nocioni and PG Carlos Arroyo. That draft was NICE.
Hedo Turkoglu might have been the most impactful player of the draft. As far as contributing to a winner. He did a lot on three consecutive Orlando playoff teams. He averaged about 16.5 points, 5 boards and 5 assists across 38 playoff games from 2006-07 to 2008-09 campaigns.
I will say this. He may not have been able to do a lot in Milwaukee in terms of success, but we love and appreciate Michael Redd and everything he did for us.
It is what it is... I'm happy for the dudes like Quinton Richardson and Kenyon Martin from this draft that may not have been big stars, but when they made your team really work for their points, you gotta respect them.
Its sad when you have to commend players for doing what they should do. If they cant do that at least they deserve to be on the bench or home on their couch.
1:51 you could have done a better job with the data. Eg draft class by aggregate all star class by itself isn’t very useful. Lebron accounts for literally 1/3 of the 60 selections you cite. That paints an ENTIRELY different story when you add the caveat that 3 players account for just shy of 3/4 of the total selections.
No draft with those two alone can be considered bad. Best QB ever, 7 Rings and end of statement. Top 10 LB ever. In the top ten in almost all LB stats like tackles, assists, sacks, interceptions etc. with fewer games played than some of the guys above him.
nba youtube is blinded by his flashyness. he was a spark plug at times, ill give him that. but also an inefficient chucker, not a playmaker and a below average defender at best.
He probably had the most longevity career but definitely was not the best player. Since he was never an allstar. Michael Redd's peak seasons were clearly better than Crawfish

Najera was only the 2nd Mexican-born player ever to be drafted. He was also All NBA 3rd Team, the only Mexican player to do so. He was a solid role player, especially in Denver & Dallas.
1997 was pretty horrific also, strange that 96 was one of the best ever. But 97 outside of Duncan at #1 and McGrady going at 9 was a stinkfest. 96 was loaded with all stars
The one draft that I actually attended in person. It was in Minnesota, and the Gopher fans in the crowd were excited because Joel Pryzbilla was a lottery pick. I also remember Mateen Cleaves was a big name in the draft.
5:14 is actually incorrect. There were 8 players from that 2000 class that never ended up playing in the NBA, but the narrator said it was 10. Just a small fact check 👍🏻.
For those of us who were into sports cards, the 2000 and 2001 draft killed us. It produced nothing of value. The prices for boxes were still the same, they didn't discount them just because the draft was bad. I lost so much money on these two drafts. When Shane Battier is your best pull for two years, just set your money on fire.
What did he ever accomplish in order to be inducted? Other than being a historically inefficient volume scorer for the entirety of his career. Maybe if you only look at his highlight reels.
Magloire is maybe the worst, least-deserving all-star in NBA history. It's not just easy to say that now, 20 years later. Him being on the all-star team was a joke *at the time.* I distinctly remember John Hollinger writing articles for ESPN about how overrated Magloire was, and how hollow his numbers were- and his numbers weren't even that good. The reason Magloire made the all-star team that one year is because that era- the early 2000's was the worst era in NBA for the center position. There was basically two good centers in the entire league. Shaq and Yao. Both of whom played in the West. That Jamaal Magloire was for a brief little moment the second or third best center in the Eastern Conference is not an illustration of him being good. It's an illustration of the absolute dearth of talent at the center position in the early 2000s. Indeed, that was the very last year the Hornets were in the Eastern Conference. If his career-best 13 and 10 per game had happened year later, they'd have been in the West, and he would have been nowhere near the all-star team. So yeah, the dude is lucky as hell to call himself an all-star. He did play very well in the actual all-star game though, I'll give him that. 19 points. But then again, these are famously the games where nobody ever plays defense, so It's a pretty hollow accomplishment.
@@thespiralgoeson PEOPLE vote for the All Star selections. You writing 3 paragraphs when the fans who actually watched basketball voted him in. Save it nerd
Kenyon was arguably the most important player on the nets team. They made two finals with him. Then they traded him got Vince Carter and never made the finals again.
K mart was a PF...he was also 6.9 while Hedo was mostly SF I wonder how nobody mention some good guys Stromile Swift, Desmond Mason, Darius Miles... 2000 was bad with centers...big ones was Mihm, Brezec..Collier who i think is RIP, maybe Ethan Thomas... Jammal Maglorie who i dont know how became all star Crawford also was one of the best ball hanlder there
Every draft class having at least one or two hall of famers is interesting. You never know who's going to pan out, but almost you can almost guarantee somebody will be great...
2002 draft class was worse than this. Only Amare was elite in 2002 class but we can count some decent guys in 2000 class. For example Kenyon Martin ,Hedo, Lewis, Jamal Crawford, Desmond Mason, 3 Pointer Quentin Richardson, Mike Miller etc..
Chill bro. 2002 def wasn't worse than this. "Only amare elite"? C'mon brother. Yao ming(8x all star and HOF), Caron Butler, Boozer did his thing for a 2nd rounder, Tashaun prince, Matt barnes, Rush, Luis scola
Kaniel Dickens (no 50) was the big star of the Ukrainian team Cherkasy Monkees back in the mid 2000’s. They visited Luleå, Sweden for a pre-season tournament in 2006. On our team was a 19-year-old Jonas Jerebko. He locked Dickens down almost completely periodically during the one or two games they played. I was the team photographer back then and I have this funny picture of Dickens giving Jerebko the evil eye from pure annoyance over the pesky teenager constantly being in his face. Little did he know about what would become of this kid.
Kobes class probably has to have the most all stars and best players. Almost all of the starting line up not only had players coming out the gates dominating, they even had late bloomers (Kobe) being either the best in the league or one of the top role players.
The highlights of this draft class are Michael Redd, Stromile Swift as a goated name, Darius Miles acting career, Speedy Claxton as one of the last great nicknames and Marko Jaric swooping a prime Adriana Lima. All things considered, that's not a bad run, Lima was the hottest woman on the planet and making significantly more than him, it's an all time example of out punting your coverage.
Tyrese will be as he played the Christian Laettner role in the 2024 Olympic US Team. Maybe if he leads the Pacers to the finals or something like that, he will be inducted on his own...
I remember this draft well. Even in the first season, you never got a vibe that any of those players would be great. Martin was the best one out of all of them but he only looked good because he played with Jason Kidd when he was at his peak. Honestly the next few drafts were bad as well. This was probably why they changed the rules 5 or 6 years later. Hardly any of those guys could not shoot a jump shoot to save their lives. This class and the next few classes after were the reason the 04 Olympic basketball team lost 3 games and only won the bronze medal. Its the worst basketball team ever put together. It was so bad that they had to bring in D Wade, Lebron, and Carmelo Anthony after just their first year in the league.
He was never above average at his position, let alone top 10. At his peak he was a starter for teams with losing records. In the back half of his career he was a sixth man on playoff teams. Not contenders, just playoff teams.
They only had 3 players who were All-Stars in their prime like Kenyon Martin, Jamaal Magloire and Michael Redd. That’s it!!! Furthermore, Many of the other high picks, like Stromile Swift and Darius Miles, struggled to make a significant impact in the league. Overall, the class lacked depth and star power, which made them to become the biggest busts of all time.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
This draft does not reflect Jamal Crawford's career. The guy won three six men of the Year awards and teams just misused his talents. He arguably could be a Hall of famer
"The 2000 NBA Draft is infamous for producing very few stars, with most players failing to live up to expectations. It’s widely regarded as one of the weakest drafts ever, with Kenyon Martin, the No. 1 pick, being the most notable player in a class largely marked by busts and underwhelming careers." This gives context and highlights the overall disappointment of the draft class.
I’m not saying it was a great or even good class necessarily. But I think it was more they were right in the middle of the stars who blossomed in the mid to late nineties and the great players in the early 2000s. There are some really solid players you showed on that list. 90s to 2010 was just absolutely loaded
@@holdmyweight3597 Yeap if he stays in the East he’s only really battling with Bosh and O’Neal so he makes 3 to 4 times also he got in a lot of fights on the court so a lot of voters didn’t vote him on the all nba or all defense teams. It was a 5 yr stretch where he was one of the best defenders in the league
Michael Redd’s story is tragic, he was great but the injury bug beat him down. And Hedo was great when he was great, but he took years to find himself
Mike was my personal favorite and the best in this draft and I always felt that Hedo should’ve made at least one all star team

The reason Magloire made the all-star team that one year is because that era- the early 2000's was the worst era in NBA for the center position. There was basically two good centers in the entire league. Shaq and Yao. Both of whom played in the West. That Jamaal Magloire was for a brief little moment the second or third best center in the Eastern Conference is not an illustration of him being good. It's an illustration of the absolute dearth of talent at the center position in the early 2000s. Indeed, that was the very last year the Hornets were in the Eastern Conference. If his career-best 13 and 10 per game had happened year later, they'd have been in the West, and he would have been nowhere near the all-star team.

Work on your English
Michael Lloyd Miller from Mitchell,SD is my all time favorite player !!! I won so much money playing 2k10 when he was in DC !!!
you need to do a video on the best draft class
1:58 the word you’re looking for is aforementioned***
Zion Williamson making the HOF? WTF! Bro, you crazy. You don't get in the HOF by missing games and eating yourself out of contracts.
My guy mentioned Zion and "stay healthy" in the same sentence 😂
Every draft class having at least one or two hall of famers is interesting. You never know who's going to pan out, but almost you can almost guarantee somebody will be great...
2002 draft class was worse than this. Only Amare was elite in 2002 class but we can count some decent guys in 2000 class. For example Kenyon Martin ,Hedo, Lewis, Jamal Crawford, Desmond Mason, 3 Pointer Quentin Richardson, Mike Miller etc..
Chill bro. 2002 def wasn't worse than this. "Only amare elite"? C'mon brother. Yao ming(8x all star and HOF), Caron Butler, Boozer did his thing for a 2nd rounder, Tashaun prince, Matt barnes, Rush, Luis scola
And yes, 2000 def had some decent guys. Honestly, i think this 2024 draft got to be worst i ever seen
When Kenyon Martin is the #1 pick. That draft-class is the worst ever
The wild thing is that if you look at the realistic alternatives, Kenyon Martin might have been the best pick despite being a disappointing #1 pick.
Injuries really hurt his career. Kid was talented
Kenyon had a good career. There's definitely been much worse #1 picks than him. But yeah it wasn't a good draft at all.
You never saw Kenyon in New Jersey Lol, him and JKidd were running the eastern conference
He would have won ROY had he not gotten injured the end of the season
I remember Stromile Swift having 1 Great game in Vancouver. The Grizz still hurt.
I m already exhausted 😮
8 more All-star years for Lebron to surpass 96 class. 😂
Cap
@@Learnninggammess a lil' bit. but he'll be an automatic all-star if he will still play for the next 8 years.
I was only 14 during this draft. I didn't realize how bad it was. Being a Raptors fan, i enjoyed the Mo Pete pick.
2013 draft was bad too, but definitely not as bad as the 2000 draft. I wonder if the 2024 draft will be part of the conversation in a few years?
I'd like to see a video about the crazy depth and longevity of the 2008 class.
Congratulations to all the players out the 2000 draft yall should feel some type of way💯😂😂😂
But wait... There's more! 😂😂😂😂
Mike Miller is my favorite player from this draft.
Dude was unguardable back in NBA Live 08 💯🎮
Lol, Zion ain't making the Hall. That chance has long passed
Kaniel Dickens (no 50) was the big star of the Ukrainian team Cherkasy Monkees back in the mid 2000’s. They visited Luleå, Sweden for a pre-season tournament in 2006. On our team was a 19-year-old Jonas Jerebko. He locked Dickens down almost completely periodically during the one or two games they played. I was the team photographer back then and I have this funny picture of Dickens giving Jerebko the evil eye from pure annoyance over the pesky teenager constantly being in his face. Little did he know about what would become of this kid.
Michael Redd had 6 seasons with 20PPG+. Should have had more than 1 all-star appearance for sure.
2013 draft wasnt the worst in terms of players. It was the worst in terms of teams making stupid choices. Giannis wasn't even a lottery pick.
Kobes class probably has to have the most all stars and best players. Almost all of the starting line up not only had players coming out the gates dominating, they even had late bloomers (Kobe) being either the best in the league or one of the top role players.
2:55 thats not the 2000 draft class definetly
That would be the 2001 draft
The highlights of this draft class are Michael Redd, Stromile Swift as a goated name, Darius Miles acting career, Speedy Claxton as one of the last great nicknames and Marko Jaric swooping a prime Adriana Lima.
All things considered, that's not a bad run, Lima was the hottest woman on the planet and making significantly more than him, it's an all time example of out punting your coverage.
Haliburton a hall of famer? LMAOOOO
Mehhhhh that draft had a lot of long time vets and champions. Just no big nane stars. And trying to trash Kenyan is NASTY WORK
Miles was a highlight bucket
Miller got a ring
lol Lou Ratchett used Speedy claxtons name in one of his skits, had no idea that was an actual person
zion and tyrese haliburton have a great chance to making the hof????????? okay that's fucking insane what the hell?
Tyrese will be as he played the Christian Laettner role in the 2024 Olympic US Team. Maybe if he leads the Pacers to the finals or something like that, he will be inducted on his own...
I remember this draft well. Even in the first season, you never got a vibe that any of those players would be great. Martin was the best one out of all of them but he only looked good because he played with Jason Kidd when he was at his peak. Honestly the next few drafts were bad as well. This was probably why they changed the rules 5 or 6 years later. Hardly any of those guys could not shoot a jump shoot to save their lives.
This class and the next few classes after were the reason the 04 Olympic basketball team lost 3 games and only won the bronze medal. Its the worst basketball team ever put together. It was so bad that they had to bring in D Wade, Lebron, and Carmelo Anthony after just their first year in the league.
This class was so bad it pulled down the overall caliber of play in the league for a few years.
Jamal Crawford not being an All-Star in his career is a DISRESPECT!
He was never above average at his position, let alone top 10. At his peak he was a starter for teams with losing records. In the back half of his career he was a sixth man on playoff teams. Not contenders, just playoff teams.
He played off the bench for most of his career. Knicks were probably his best chance to become an all star guard and it just didn't work out.
No it’s not lol..inefficient asfk..not a good playmaker..poor defender. Massively overrated.
Haliburton HOF mention and no Trae is crazy
Them putting Hali over Lamelo is funny 🤣
martin was a good rebounder
They only had 3 players who were All-Stars in their prime like Kenyon Martin, Jamaal Magloire and Michael Redd. That’s it!!! Furthermore, Many of the other high picks, like Stromile Swift and Darius Miles, struggled to make a significant impact in the league. Overall, the class lacked depth and star power, which made them to become the biggest busts of all time.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
What about the Purvis Ellison, Danny Ferry, Stacey King draft class? Who from that class did anything
And counting 👑
the 96 draft was hands down the best class ever...
This draft does not reflect Jamal Crawford's career. The guy won three six men of the Year awards and teams just misused his talents. He arguably could be a Hall of famer
HOF is a major major stretch.
"The 2000 NBA Draft is infamous for producing very few stars, with most players failing to live up to expectations. It’s widely regarded as one of the weakest drafts ever, with Kenyon Martin, the No. 1 pick, being the most notable player in a class largely marked by busts and underwhelming careers."
This gives context and highlights the overall disappointment of the draft class.
The Kenyon Martin disrespect is atrocious 😢
Darius Miles did have a couple of movies... I think... 🤔🤷♂
jamaal crawford should be in the hall of fame
🤣
Hedo led the magic to the finals.
This was wild.........
I’m not saying it was a great or even good class necessarily. But I think it was more they were right in the middle of the stars who blossomed in the mid to late nineties and the great players in the early 2000s. There are some really solid players you showed on that list. 90s to 2010 was just absolutely loaded
I believe the 2000 class is suffering from the Y2K bug lol!!!!!!!
Zion Williamson will be enshrined into the "all you can eat buffet" HOF, definitely not the one in Springfield, Massachusetts...😅
Mike miller will forever be a heat legend 🔥🔥🔥
This year's class will make a case in the future 😅😅😅
Not putting dirk nowitzki, russell westbrook and kawhi leonard in this video is a crime
Yeah this draft was so bad, I don't even know those two players at the back in the thumbnail. 💀
Even though there is no all star, but this draft, these players became respectable role players
Darius Miles was pretty good idc
Pretty good at what?
Pretty good doesn’t mean anything lol. That was a nothing statement
pretty good at hating a rookie lebron 😅🤣
Gil's Arena gotta see this.
Three years apart from, debatable, the best draft class ever (although I rate 84' and 96' higher).
Injuries hurt Redd and Martin
Kenyon was the best player I think he was probably snubbed out of 3 all star games and all nba defensive teams
If Kenyon had stayed in the East, he probably would have picked up 1 or 2 more allstars. He had no chance in the West
@@holdmyweight3597 Yeap if he stays in the East he’s only really battling with Bosh and O’Neal so he makes 3 to 4 times also he got in a lot of fights on the court so a lot of voters didn’t vote him on the all nba or all defense teams. It was a 5 yr stretch where he was one of the best defenders in the league
