LOL @ the entire 2000 draft at #2. I think that's the worst one in history. Some decent players (Kenyon, Mike Miller, etc.) but no superstars, and loads of busts.

i would definitly have to put MICHAEL OLAWAKANDI in the top 3.

Those are some very bad picks and for sure busts in the NBA, though at least some of those players are still in the league, but that doesn't speak much for the hype and draft position.

The Kandi Man was drafted in 1998 a year ahead of the decade mark. If they counted the busts in the past 11 years, he would most definitely be on the list.

Opps! when i see NBA BUST anywhere i just think of him, lol

I think it is unfair to put yi in there after 2 years, he's still developing

[tutall]

I dont know if i am ready to call Yi a bust yet.... it takes many foreign players more than 1 year to settle into america much less perform on the NBA stage... if 2-3 years down the road he is still bad then he makes the list...

Nice Thread.

Thank you for sharing, Jesus =)

Interesting thing is nice players were from low picks like Michael Redd and Stephen Jackson.
(Class of 2000)


And I would want to add class of 2001 might be also failure.

Look at this.

(Hey where is Pau Gasol? Pau was picked as 3rd)



Most Likely to succeed ? NO ! WAY !

This Draft might be one of the biggest totally failure.

Because #1(Kwame), #2(Curry), #4(Tyson Food) were all H.S. Players.
(and all failed)

Might be impacted from former H.S. Pick(Darius Miles).


Good News - Pau Gasol (# 3), Joe Johnson (# 10), and there were Gerald Wallace and Tony Parker as low pick.

Bad News - Bulls abandoned Nice Elton Brand for Tyson Rotten Food.
(After that, Bulls had been in Dark Age ..around 1/2 decade)

Rodney White is also class of 2001.

i would definitly have to put MICHAEL OLAWAKANDI in the top 3.

IMO, Kandiman was not bad like that.

I don't mean Kandiman was great and nice.

But at least they didn't pick Robert Traylor.
(Robert Traylor might be picked as 8th and traded with Dirk Nowitzki(9th). Bucks made big mistake.lol)

And Clippers has done like that to save money or think different like that.

For example, they sent Antonio McDyess to Nuggets for Brent Barry after draft. lol
(In 1995)





BTW, how dare Kedrick brown use # 5 Jersey?

I don't mean KG's Jersey #.

It was Bill Walton's # ! lol
