What ACTUALLY Happened To Everyone In The 2000 NBA Draft? 

Twelve players from this draft ended up playing for the Milwaukee Bucks.

love how despite being a very underwhelming draft class, people in the comments still appreciate each and every one of em

Michael Redd was definitely the best in this draft and my personal favorite in the 00’s him and Desmond Mason were a dynamic duo.

Jamal Crawford had the best longevity of this class. He almost has 20,000 career points in the regular season, and if you include the playoffs, he has over 20,000 career points scored. He also leads his entire draft class in career points scored. That's remarkable for a majority bench player.

Redd was an All Star level player but injuries killed his career

I STILL say Jamal Crawford was the best player Here and deserved an all star... The pg slot was just STACKED

Mike Miller is one of the best of the 2000s draft

The Vanilla Gorilla, Joel Pryzbilla was awesome on the blazers. One of the best nicknames

So many players who had their careers derailed by injuries

Early in the nba number 1 picks didnt even last long or make a huge impact until oscar robertson really

David sterns face during the 4 names that were hard to pronounce lol

Joel Pryzbilla The Great White Gorilla - that was his nickname. I remember most of these guys and their careers, but as a blazers fan, of course I remember Joel the best. Painfully underappreciated player. Very impactful on and off the court. Class act. Always will be a fan of his.

Marko Jaric sure did got lucky on grabbing a supermodel

Hedu was the man on those magic teams with Dwight.

The financial information is dope! Keep it going!

Mike Miller was pretty damn good. Hell of a shooter. You should have mentioned how Hedo robbed the Raps blind with that horrible contract.

Bro Kenyon played for 15 yrs, was a huge reason why New Jersey went to two NBA finals. Hego was a huge reason the Magic went to the finals. Jamal Crawford was a problem, played 20 yrs and one of the greatest bucket getters ever. Michael Redd had injuries but when on the court, 20 plus easy. Mike Miller pretty won the Heat a chip against OkC in game 5. Deshawn Stevenson was a lock down guard and was important in beating and the heat. Q Richardson was one of most reliable 3 point shooters in the league. 2000 had some hitters

You forgot about Hanno Möttölä who was the 40th overall pick in the 2000 NBA Draft and was selected by the Atlanta Hawks. In his youth Möttölä played for Helsinki NMKY (originally run by the Finnish version of the YMCA founded in 1929, not kidding). Möttölä played College Ball in Utah from 1996 all the way to 2000. Möttölä played two full seasons for the Hawks totaling 4.6 PPG, 2.9 RPG and 0.2 PPG in 154 Games Played. After his NBA years Möttölä played EuroLeague in Spain, Italy, Lithuania, EuroCup in Russia and again EuroLeague in Greece before retiring from pro basketball in 2008. Möttölä did play couple of games for II. Divisioona (2nd. Division) amateur team FC Passe and after that he made a comeback with ToPo in the Finnish Basketball League and played for the Finnish National Team before retiring for good in 2013. Before Lauri Markkanen there was Hanno Möttölä.

I just subbed to your channel… I’ve been watching a ton of your draft videos and I love your energy, knowledge and well edited content man! Excellent work!

This video was amazing. So much research. Respect

Hedo is another good player of the 2000s draft

Great video by the way thanks

K-Mart was a hooper. He was such a fun player to watch on offense.

Just discovered you channel, good content bro keep doing what you’re doing

An early Christmas present - Thank you very much!! Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy new year looking forward to your uploads in 2024. Great video as always - keep up the great work and the high output rate!

I know in the NFL Tom Brady was drafted in the same year in 2000. Imagine an NBA version of this player. White, old (23 or 24 as a rookie), average speed and size as a guard but went undrafted, no tats, choose to play for the clippers, won 7-9 rings, 6-7 time finals MVP, played like Nash, Kidd, Steph, Stockton. Hit 2-3 GW shots in game 7’s of NBA finals. Single handidly made the clippers a top 3 franchise ever. All time leading scorer and assist guy but never dunked or blocked a shot in a game. He would have been in his last year currently in the NBA in year 24 at the age of 46 or retired last year and would be considered 1 or 2 all time between him and MJ. Imagine a guy like that being undrafted in 2000 in one of the worst drafts ever!!!

I had a Chris Mihm bobble head on my shelf as a kid. No idea how the hell I ended up with it, I had never even been to a Lakers game, but he’s lived on with me because of that.

Top three of this draft for sure is Jamal Crawford, Michael Redd (Who if not for injuries would be Number 1 of this draft, no question) and Mike Miller, honorable mention to Kenyon Martin and Hedo.

First 15 minutes is crazy

Stro Show what a player! So fun to watch!

before 2000 there are a lot early entry and high school players were drafted in 1997, 1998 and 1999. imagine players like tracy mcgrady, al harrington or rashard lewis going to college for 2 or 3 years and come out in 2000. also if lamar odom, corey maggette and shawn marion stay in college for one more year and draft in 2000

Very interesting Persperctive. But maybe the people drafting and running the teams during that time didn't know what they were doing which can also lead to players not having success ( Some Teams stockpile talent but suck at putting an actually good winning team together.)

Too think NBA players made millions of dollars but still had to scam in the end is crazy and ppl think there safe with their 9-5

Do you know what you didn't mention about Chris Porter was he was our starter for over 1/3 the season. And there's something nobody outside of the Bay would know: fans absolutely EMBRACED him. The 2000 draft was a shit show, but with Porter, it felt like a first round guy had fallen into our laps. But then you heard he wasn't a model guy off the court, and it was like "there's ALWAYS a catch" with the Warriors. And there was. We traded him because he felt after starting 30+ games that he didn't need to come the summer camp, so the Dubs traded him the Hornets. He missed flights to Charlotte so they waived him out of spite. People who didn't see him play would be like "eh, another second round flame-out." No, he had the stuff, talent wise. He could have been a contributor for a decade in the NBA and probably been one of those guys who made a single or pair of all-star games. He had a fan favorite vibe about him because he would fly down the court like a bat out of hell. The fans in the Bay LOVED him, but he didn't have the right head for the NBA. Or life, apparently. The SA charges are disgusting. Thankfully, the Warriors wouldn't ever have a problem with a second round pick ever again. Not in 2001. No sir. We didn't draft a generational player and then lose him in a way so heartbreaking the NBA had to change the rules for how you could re-sign 2nd rounders. 😭

idk? Can make a solid NBA squad with the guys from 2000 Draft. SG Michael Redd PG Jamal Crawford PF Kenyon Martin SF Mike Miller C Chris Mihm or Joel Przybilla 6th man Quentin Richardson

Sad that Orlando had THREE lottery picks in such a poor draft class.

I did not know fif was related to kmart. Though I never knew his name until now. He used to pick me up on his teams at run n shoot (R.I.P.) when i was a youngin back in the day (at least until real competition showed up). Throwing lobs was so fun, and made me feel like an actual PG.

It's like the entire draft was over drafted by a round or so

Yes worst draft ever. Your RU-vid channel has really good content. Thank you !!

I totally forgot K-Mart was a number one overrall pick. This draft had quite a few solid role players.

Can you do more draft videos like this please

Hey do the 2002 nba draft class next 🙏🏽

14:59 nah that was a great dunk did you see how it was shaking 😂

12:24 - I'm guessing guy has Polish roots, in here "rz" is pronounced as one sound (kinda like "ch" in "cheese") and it would be kinda like "pshy-bila"

For people who don't know.. DerMar Johnson was a problem. This was a 6'9 dude with handles and crazy length who could defend any spot on the floor. He really could have been one of the greats.

11:13 The Cavs trading J Crawford to the Bulls has got to be one of the worst trades of all time. A few years after this LeBron would have been on this team with Crawford. What could have been 😮

Big year for Michigan born players. Martin Cleaves Fizer Peterson Ira Newble was part of the rookie class but went updrafted

Can you make more of these draft videos?

This was interesting

This gonna be this years draft bunch of great role players with some debatable Allstars imo

How does this guy got only 14.6k subs bro puts so much effort into this

Mike Miller was a really good baller and a certified shooter from deep ,he had a very solid career.No flash but effective .This is what bugs me with the hype .People are always waiting for insane highlights ,star system and so on whereas basketball is also about skills and strategy.Jamal Crawford was awesome .But many underwhelming players like Chris Mihm who was a very mundane center.Jerome Moiso had the talent and the potential to be a really good NBA player.He originated from our INSEP (french elite training for gifted young athletes )but it seems to me he lacked motivation.

Michael redds jump shot is criminal but aye that shit was butter Lmfao

This draft & the 1989 draft are at the draft’s “Best of the worst” list…

Crawford for me is one if the best ball handlers in NBA

I don’t know about all years (1973 was really bad) but 2000 was the worst in my lifetime. The distinction for this class is the arguably best player here is the all time leader in losses. Something poetic about that.

Stern was struggling with some of those names lmao

All stars in the whole entire class and one all nba That’s the worst draft class all time

1986 was the worst NBA draft ever….by far. Drugs ruined/killed a lot of players in that draft.

I'll always have a little love for Darius Miles and DerMarr Johnson haha

daaamn 24 years ago... the years pass quickly

This title and that question mark is disrespectful......😂

bucks legend Michael Redd sighting

Turk balled out in Sacramento with bibby webber divac and stoacavich

Darius Miles played for East St. Louis

Most of those guys from 2000 draft was in nba 2k10

Jason Collier was a friend of mine. Kinda ahead of his time as a big man who could shoot (but I dont think he was physical enough for today's game). He was never a star, was never going to be a star, but they *loved* him in Atlanta - which just goes to show what a great guy he was. He died on my wedding day (which was *October* 15, 2005 by the way). Hilarious and kind dude. I miss him.

It's crazy how most of those guys was legends at one point before becoming a pro. Half I don't even remember playing.

2000 was the year everyone excepted players to dunk more and jump higher, many great talent in this draft but rew.. i wouldn't call that the worst draft no way

Star-wise, 2000 it wasn't a good draft. But this draft produced a lot of valuable role-players. 2006 is worse than this draft.

aside from K Martin, who tf are these players on the first top 5 picks?

I think the 2024 draft is comparable to this one in terms of star power

Hedo what a player

Fizer was a huge disappointment. Tinsley,his ISU teammate turned out better.

Nets made the finals because of Jason Kidd not Martin

The Vanilla Gorilla has a special place in the hearts of all Blazer fans.

Micheal Redd was tough!

Actually pretty solid draft no superstars but a lot of solid vets

I remember Marko Jaric just because of his wife, not because of his NBA career 😂😂😂

Ima disagree this draft was better than the 01 draft and the Andrew Wiggins draft

Jerome lives in my garage

Overseas and international aren't synonymous... Playing overseas isn't playing international. Playing for your country is...

I’m a long time Bucks season ticket holder and 14 of the worst draft class ever playing for them explains why they were garbage for most of the 2000’s

This is mostly just a mid draft class with a bunch of athletic what if prospects

Lots of draft day trades 😂

Swift was a freak athlete who tried his hand at basketball. He sucked

Idk how we can say this is the worst draft class of all time when you have 3 of the top 5 6th man to ever play coming out of this class in Jamal Crawford, Mike Miller and Hedo. Martin went to 2 NBA Finals back to back Redd was a beast as well there was loads of talent here just not massive superstars. Great role players tho...

Was k martin the main guy in that nets team?

I totally forgot about most of these guys haha. Pretty bad draft year for sure!

This upcoming 2024 draft might be this ass

Jamal Crawford was one of the most talented players I saw in court.

Will this year draft be the worse after the Pistons breaking the record it's a sad future for draft picks

People who do same videos, they're unwatchable compares to yours. Good job on doing a lot of homework on your videos and give good information vs the other casuals.

he helped take the nets*

Kenyon talks too crazy for those stats

no disrespect to you, its a good video idea, but ive realized im just listening to David Stern read off the names of almost all nobodies (relative to my time as a fan) that are going in one ear and out the other lol fuckin love Jamal Crawford tho

I was 17 in 2000

No Eduardo Najera? Dude is a legend in Mexico

I’m sad that’s my birth year now :(

They were great players. Not other worldly but still great enough to be NBA players no draft is "worst ever"
