What ACTUALLY Happened To Everyone In The 2016 Draft? 

Pascal Siakam’s development really is a 1 of 1. Not a single person saw him turning into an All-NBA caliber player. His scoring has got so elite man it’s crazy

I think the problem with Ben Simmons is that he’s suffering from an anxiety disorder caused by the pressures of being the #1 pick and having to perform in the playoffs. His continued presence in the NBA is doing nothing good for his mental health. He has to get serious psychological help, and perhaps may need to retire.

I’ve never seen any of your vids but you go in depth and still have respect for the players and I love it

I cant wait until this channel blows up. keep up the stellar work

This was probably the draft that really showed how far the international game has gone how global the game had progressed as players likes Simmons, Hield, Poetl who came from nontraditional basketball markets were at the forefront but that being said, it also shows how bad international scouting and can be as many of those selected would bust out pretty spectacularly (Bender, Yabusele)

Damn the algorithm be blessing me with underrated channels. This is one of them. Good vid fam

This is very good. Keep up the great work! Good luck with your channel.

Stumbled upon this channel…keep up the great work. Definitely subscribing

Really like that you highlight these guys outside of just players but as people from different walks of life. Makes you appreciate that even a “bust” making the league is still a huge achievement and success story

You deserve more subscribers. Great content, keep it up!

These vids are fire broo I’m glad U thought of this idea I would foever keep watchin

Great video as usual! So glad I found this channel! Btw it it pronounced Ma-Ka-Bi for Maccabi Tel Aviv, but it is something everyone doesn't get right lol

Damn! I never realized Buddy Hield was drafted in 2016. I legit thought he's on the league for over a decade 😂

Great work here! You just got yourself a new subscriber. 👍

Another great content!

You good bro . Good insight . Glad I found you . Gracias

Another absolute banger

Best basketball channel rn💯

Got yourself another sub. Enjoy the content brother

Love your vids!!

Keep up the work🙌

I fw u lil bro, I’m subscribing.

NBA Champ Pascal is the best player in this class. Not only is he an amazing scorer and playmaker on offence but his defence is high level as well and is a very underappreciated part of his game. He's also the most decorated player in his class.

I love videos like this. I recently came across your channel and the effort and time you put into these videos shows you really love the sport and all of the in-depth information you give is great. Keep up the good work.

Just realized Vernon Carey Jr is in Euroleague now, averaged 17 ppg at Duke but couldn't do squat in the nba.

Craziest thing about Malachi Richardson- he got drafted during my graduation year, and my girlfriend at the time was obsessed w him and thought he’d be a star. I remember posting my graduation cap with Malachi on it on twitter and getting a follow back. 😂 she was wrong about his career but

Why DF isn’t this channel bigger?! Seriously this is up there with the best NBA content 👍

Worse draft than the suns? Minnesota drafting 2 pgs and neither one being Steph Curry immediately springs to mind

Im a big Nuggets fan. Love Joker, but the team would not be the same without Jamal Murray. He is an amazing player. Lethal scorer and an underrated passer

when the siakam swirl came out i almost got it everytime, its realllyyyyy good.

Great vid

Great video👌🏽

As a Nuggets fan, I absolutely loved watching Murray develop into the player he is now. He and Jokic are absolutely lethal.

New to your channel. Keep it up good vids. 👍

Welp I guess Korkmaz is the only player left still on his original team.

I always wonder what a Lakers team would look like today with Julius Randle, DeAngelo Russell, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram

Jaylen Brown is the best. One time we were getting Starbucks in Toronto and Jaylen, as unassuming as be in sweats payed for our order. Very nice dude.

Hey Lockdown! I want to request if you could ever do a vid on the 2008 draft

Siakam swirl is so good, last one hit diffy the day he was traded...

The Sabonises were smart for moving out of Portland and going to Spain

good stuff

O and this draft was really deep

Jamal Murray needs to an "ALL-STAR" this year based on his comeback from an ACL injury 💯

I’m 27 & remember him blowing up too. Always wondered what happened. If he was 6’5 he might be the face of the league rn

Malik Beasley is not the son of a former NBA player. His dad’s name IS Michael Beasley, however it’s not THAT Michael Beasley. Great video though 🔥🔥

If Ben Simmons had been good at jump shots and 3-point shots, he could have truly become a superstar player. He lacked passion and motivation for basketball, but it is true that the Sixers were able to return to being a powerhouse team thanks to him. The 2016 NBA Draft didn't produce any superstar players who would be inducted into the Hall of Fame after retirement, but it wasn't the worst draft ever.

Don’t forget, buddy hield was also player of the year that season at OU. It was pointlessly given to Denzel Valentine is a huge snubbing. Buddy was easily player of the year that year.

Thanks!

Dope vid

Simmons played so little that im shocked its already his 8th year in the NBA.

The Cavs 2013 draft is on par with Phoenix in 2016. Anthony Bennett first overall, then Sergey Karasev at 19 over Mason Plumlee, Rudy Gobert, Reggie Bullock, Andre Roberson, and Tim Hardaway Jr. Then we had a good pick at 31, Allen Crabbe, probably the best second rounder in the draft! …who we traded for Carrick Felix. Yuck.

life was great in 2016

Do the top 20 in the 2009 nba draft

the inclusion of Harambe at the beginning reminded me that this video (like all your others) deserves a like, lmao

JB making the 2nd team is insane...

I need more objectivity in these videos, numbers, analytics; not touching on things other ppl have said. They just don’t feel like your genuine feelings. I do appreciate your determination to get these out.

Let me put this in Layman’s terms for you… no Jake slander/shots will be allowed 😂😭

I’m ready for that 100K day

Glad to see somebody give Brogdon his props. Slept on guy in the league who just comes to work and puts in the time. If they did a redo, he's more of a late 1st rounder imo

Thon story really is dope

Damn the suns had so many picks in the first 15 and missed all of them. Crazy

Jamal got the Ring with a key position of a team. If he got another ring this year = most successful draft this year.

I would LOVE your take on the 86 draft

I wonder if you can do a video of the 2012 draft

jake layman catching a meannnnnn stray

One thing you mightve missed, is that when Carris Levert was traded from the Nets to the Pacers, if Im not mistaken, they found a tumor or something? I dont remember all to well😅

Whats up with Duke and North Carolina players busting in the league? Well Duke has sent some good players lately but before that, despite them being powerhouse schools, alot of there players dont have success. The last star that came out of UNC was Vince Carter.

I was in hysterics 15 seconds into this video 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Low-key, if BI and Ben were swapped, I think both are in better places. BI as the second star along side Embiid for years, and Simmons ultimately ending up in NOLA to blossom out of sight.

Hold on did I just hear Jake Layman slander?! You take that shit back rn

Ben Simmons got lots of PTO 💀

JB 💚 🍀 💚 🍀

Malik Beasley should have never been arrested, if someone comes on your property without permission this is trespassing and a threat to someone is the best thing he can do. He didn’t kill them did he? Can someone tell me what law imprisoned him?

Basketball version of iconic football?

at 2:42 you said"in the divisional round"this ain't football

You showed Simmons three point shot lol

malachi richardson plays in indonesia rn

you can’t mention dejounte murray beef with paolo and not mention how he gave him his flowers and said all is good between them

2:40 never heard someone refer to the conf. semifinals as the divisional round.. is that legit?

Idk when you created this video but Malachi just made his debut in Indonesian Basketball League and went 1/9 FG

When Simmons was drafted... i said he would crash. He isnt who you think he is. Yes... he had a couple good years... i knew what he was

my fav class

that buddy heild section aged poorly. He is now a 76ers and Duncan Robinson has the fastest player to hit 1000 3s now.

i didnt even know damian jones was still in the league

You forgot about Jordan Hawkins

2020 Jamal Murray was Intagramable 💀

I miss the old commissioners ya know like David Stern and Paul Tagliabue. I despise Roger Goodell

the jaylen brown glazing is crazy
