5 worst NBA Draft classes since 2000

#2 2001

2001 NBA Draft

This class had a lot of good role and star players like Pau Gasol, Zach Randolph, Tyson Chandler, Gilbert Arenas, Tony Parker, Shane Battier, Richard Jefferson, Jason Richardson, Gerald Wallace, Mehmet Okur, the White Mamba, and Puerto Rican basketball hero Carlos Arroyo.

What put s this class on this list is the fact that most of the lottery picks ended up being busts with the talented players coming outside the lottery and the 2nd round. I’m sure the New York Knicks fans do not want to be reminded of Eddy Curry (2nd pick). Kwame Brown (1st pick) represents the epitome of Michael Jordan’s failures at evaluation of skills. Kwame Brown, arguably the worst first NBA draft pick of all-time, overshadowed this class.
