The 2000 NBA draft class is considered one of the worst of all time; I personally don't have the extensive knowledge to say where i'd put it but in terms of accolades and personnel, it is one of the least accomplished of any NBA draft from the 00s to the present.

All-Star appearances: 3 one-timers; all appeared in 2004

All-NBA nods: One All-NBA 3rd Team nod in 2004

All-Defensive Team Nods: Goose egg

Other awards: 6th Man of the Year was won by Jamal Crawford 3 times, Hedo Türkoğlu won Most Improved Player

Notable players:

Jamaal Magloire (19th pick): One of the 3 All-Stars and considered the "worst All-Star" as he averaged 13.6/10.3/1 with 1.4 blocks. He was...fine? A decent center who had an okay career, his nod was a testament to the weakness of the center position in the Eastern conference in the early 00s.

Hedo Türkoğlu (16th): Future puppet for Erdogan's authoritarian government but on the court, he was one of the better shooters in his heyday with a career average of 38.4% from 3. The sole MIP winner of this class, he was a part of the Dwight-led Magic that went to the Finals and he's arguably the biggest free agent signing in Raptors history. The less said about how he fared in Toronto beyond and , the better. Still, one of the better players in this draft. Ball.

Kenyon Martin (1st): The second of the 3 All-Stars and the first overall pick of this draft. Believe it or not, he fetched 3 firsts from the Nuggets as a sign and trade. Wild to see that amount of draft capital moved in a sign and trade even factoring in said trade happening the year of his All-Star appearance. Martin was a decent player - he averaged 16.7/9.5/2.5 with 1.3 steals the season before he was traded - but for the first overall pick, he was far from a franchise player.

Jamal Crawford (8th): One of the most respected 6th men in NBA history though said history often forgets his inefficiency as a scorer off the bench; even in the seasons where he won 6MOY, he shot under 42% from the field (2014) and 40% (2016) in two of those three years, and he averaged splits of 41.2/34.8/86.2 for his career. He had one of the longest careers of players in this class so there's a level of respect to be had for sticking around as long as he did.

Mike Miller (5th): Someone had to win Rookie of the year and Miller was not a bad choice; he shot nearly 41% from 3 in his inaugural season and averaged nearly 12 points with 4 boards. A good shooter and one of the best roleplayers in the class, he continued to have a hot hand from outside with a career average of 40% from 3. Remember: Miller was doing this in the 00s, before the 3-point era. Unlike fellow Magic draftee Hedo, he wasn't a part of that Dwight Finals team but he did make it back there as a bench player for the Heatles and had an underappreciated impact in the 2013 Finals where he started for a few of those very close games of that 7 game series.

Morris Peterson (21st): One of the few players that managed to get a second contract and one of the very few decent players that Chris Bosh got to play with during his time in Toronto. Would you believe that Peterson broke, set and held the record for most games played by a Raptor until DeMar DeRozan broke it? He's still in the top 3 with 542 games played for the franchise.

Michael Redd (43rd): The final of the 3 All-Stars and the only played who got an All-NBA award with a 3rd Team nod the same year he became an All-Star. He's probably the only notable second-round pick from this draft unless you're a huge Jabari Smith Jr. fan (his father was in this draft, picked 45th) and is arguably the best player from this draft. Notably, he shot 38% from 3 for his career and he had several seasons where he scored over 20 points, with a career high average of 26.7 points per game for the 2007 season.

Keyon Dooling (10th): Future convict; he was convicted for attempted defrauding of the NBA last year, in case you were wondering. That is all I have to say about Dooling.

That's the cream of the crop for the 2000 draft class. There were definitely some notable names - even a few overseas players who had decent careers that never played a single NBA game - but no one that could be described as a franchise-altering player, and very few of said players ever won a championship, let alone played a role in earning that ring.

Given how few teams own picks in the upcoming 2024 draft i.e. how centralized the draft capital is amongst a select few teams (Spurs, Pacers, Thunder have multiple firsts as well as multiple seconds), it is going to be interesting to see how this comparison plays out with how much better front offices have gotten at scouting and developing their talent, not to mention how much more talented the prospects of today are compared to those in the earliest years of the 21st century.

Thunder PR ends postgame availability, says "see you guys in Oklahoma, or next year (Miami media)."

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, walking out of the room, says "NBA Finals."

Another really solid night for me. Rozier and nembhard can be shot to the moon though honestly. they cost me a million dollars tonight. this slate tomorrow is honestly going to be a dupe fest with luka sitting so tread lightly. Hope you all had a great night

If discord is something you are interested in, Will have a link below where i have in-depth content going over each slate, player pools for cash/gpps, cores and much more.,

Edit: PP - 2-1 today unless legacy jamal cover

Edit:

1. with brogdon out and walker out - i love simons, also really like grant, scoot now firmly in play, sharpe solid. reath still just gpp only

Edit: grant williams is IN, this could potentiall hurt powell and seth curry. not a fan of seth anymore especially at ownership. powell still solid. i like grant in gpps at low ownership

Edit: hardy not starting. still like him but a downgrade. love thj

Completely unnecessary. Who the hell wants to watch teams auction off second round picks for cash consideration and no name players from Siberia getting drafted.

Another bone headed move by the league. The NBA draft is not the NFL draft. The NBA in season tournament is not the FA cup. Adam Silver is a clown with a bunch of copycat ideas.
