  • This draft class with 3 or potentially 4 hall of famers, some stars during their prime, and a lot of quality role players. Looking back, Jimmy Butler, last pick of first round and IT, last pick of the entire draft is pretty crazy
  • @Bist040
    Jan Vesely went on to cook in Europe. Followed Luka as EL MVP in 2019, won an EL championship in 2017, 3 times EL First team... My boy definitely can ball.
  • @andycanoy863
    Once Tristan Thompson dated a Kardashian, he went from having a rating in the 80's to below 65. The curse is real. I wonder who'll be next to decline rapidly when they date a Kardashian?
  • You forgot the MANIMAL "Kenneth Faried" those years in Denver with Ty Lawson.. A lot of fans had been forgotten him cuz of his short Prime years but he's a dog in those 4 - 5 yrs with denver
  • @AirRusher1992
    Kawhi is the clearcut best player of this draft class without question.
  • The Spurs wanted Faried and got Leonard someone was watching over them haha
  • I was 18 years old when this draft happened and this was a good draft with Kyrie Irving,Isiah Thomas and Kawhi Leonard who have become a fantastic player with respective NBA teams,good friends!!!LONG LIVES TO ALL OF THEM RESPECTIVELY,GOOD FRIENDS!!!:-D
  • Jan Vesely is not the only “true bust” here. Derrick Williams definitely gets that title as well. E’Twaun Moore had a solid career for the 55th pick too.
  • the change of music after the top 8 was awesome.. Leonard is the best player in this one. the spurs dont have any idea that time. they just want a wing who could defend and rebound to help duncan
  • @timburton4150
    How often do you see the 1st pick in the draft traded for the last? This is the only class I can I think of.
  • @cccccccmc
    in 2k this is the draft in the lebron era. broo it’s amazing trading for picks. i had kyrie on the kings w boogie. wild shit
  • oh yes. My favorite draft class. The year also starts my following of NBA... There was kai, klay, kawhi, jimmy, IT. Then there is Knight, owner of the two best highlights of the game, the DJ poster and the Kai ankle breaker. Always memorable.
  • 2011 is a weird draft to evaluate. There is so many great players from this draft, but with all the injuries you can't help but feel like we only got this draft at 70-75% of it's ability (Even Kawhi you feel like would be an unquestioned top 15 player if he played at least half of his games over the last 6 years).

    The 2018 class is the best since the turn of the century tbh, it was stacked everywhere
