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

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

The original "Tobias Harris over me?!"

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.

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?

The Spurs wanted Faried and got Leonard someone was watching over them haha

Kawhi is the clearcut best player of this draft class without question.

14:55 *More people need to learn about Chip Engelland.*

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

8:43 "and a roster full of BONEHEADS." I bursted out laughing when I heard that 😂😂

_As a Sacramento Kings fan, I would love to forget about Jimmer Fredette._

Great Vid Like Always! 🔥🔥

Iman Shumpert is the GOAT, don't @ me

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.

AndyHoops Upload! Squad

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

Can’t wait for Andy video on the current Knicks. 👏🏼

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.

Kawhi and Butler really make this class insane...

I think Vesely and Kawhi just went to a system where they can make or break your career. For Vesely, well Wizards was known for not developing talent, and Spurs just unlocked Kawhi's potential.

trading kawhi for george hill is one of pacer biggest fumble ever

I think 2018 will look really good soon

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).

8:43 “A roster full of bone heads” proceeds to show picture of Javale and Swaggy P 😂

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

To me, there is many draft picks that turned to be good apart from kyrie, kawhi, Vooch and JV. Kenneth Faried was an energetic rebounder who is also althetic very good at defence and rebounding the main issues why he was out of the nba was he couldn't shoot and be more consistent if he had developped his shot earlier he would be in the NBA today. Enes Freedom, a talented big man was a double double machine, his defense and his lack of atheltism were his biggest weaknesses which couldn't help him to stay in the nba much longer. Kemba Walker was a incredibly star for the hornets because of his leadership and his popularity, he would have taken a paycut, becoming lamelo's mentor and etc., the celtics and the knicks killed his career and he is now out of the league playing in Monaco. Tobias Harris wasn't a bad player. It's just that his lack of consistency and not showing enough defense was the reason why the sixers refused to pick up his contract for next season. This draft was still a famous one.

Can you do a video about the 2018 draft class?

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

In hindsight, the impending lockout had such an impact on this draft class. I remember that Harrison Barnes would have likely been a top 3 pick had he stayed in the 2011 draft but instead, he returned for his sophomore season at UNC, which would normally make no sense for a top prospect - crazy to think that he almost certainly wouldn’t have been on the Warriors for their first title in 2015 had there been no lockout. This may also explain why so many international players went as high as they did.

Hi Andy

I still can’t believe “Anus” Kanter was drafted that high

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.

FREEDOM!!

1996 draft class vs 2003 draft class

Make a video about the 2018 draft class

I feel like 2018 nba draft will be the best soon

Cmon no mention of Reggie Jackson. NBA champion and is still playing in the league today

Didn't know Kawhi Leonard won 7 DPOY. I love living in bizzaro world

This draft actually deep

2024 Draft will be even greater!

Best draft class this century!!! That’s right I said it!!

Let Him Cook 🗣️🧑‍🍳🍳🔥

That IT season was more magical than winning a title this year

This year's draft with wemby and chet gon be the best this century

❤️❤️

You forgot to mention Norris Cole

From Kyrie, Tristan Thompson, (Which Thompson was a great supporting player to pair with Kyrie. His rebounding, Toughness defensively, and touch down low, are everything that the cavs needed in a center.) Jonas Valanciunas is the definition of a high motor center in regards to rebounding. His play style may be a little slow for a center in regards to his post up game but his rebounding sets him apart. And Klay being the 11th pick to the warriors was the perfect back court player to pair with Steph. After that they drafted Draymond and the dynasty began. Unfortunately now with Klay potentially leaving Golden State, the dynasty might be over.

Say didn't you made a video about this a long time ago when you were just getting started? That was the re-draft.

2003 vs. 2011🤔🤔🤔

God I love Alec Burks

'09 class can give this draft class a run for its money

They had some pretty good ass players in this class.

i feel like faried and mirotic deserve a mention

Class of 2018 please

It's a draft that almost everyone knows the top 15 picks (except for Jan Vesely) That's super solid Apart from those mentioned, Motiejunas/Faried/Mirotic/Norris Cole/Cory Joseph/Bojan/Parson were all soooooooolid during that period too Parson did fleeced the contract but right up to that payday he did balled the f out, great offensive player with size. Injuries played a part in him being "overpaid" MarShon Brooks & Jordan Hamilton had their tiny moments too Reggie Jackson plays like a top 10 PG whenever he plays the Lakers too. Let's not forget Josh Selby, during summer league everyone thought he'd be the biggest steal of the draft. All in all a SOLID SOLID draft. 09' (Curry/Jrue) draft is top heavy (15 total chips) 11' (Kawhi/Klay/Butler) draft is the most balanced (14 total chips) Both hella solid, 09' just "seem" lesser impressive now because of all the underachievers like Thabeet/Tyreke/Flynn/BJ Mannnnn Curry is generational which gave 09' the edge for me as the best draft class since 03'

It was never gonna get paid. Anyone that knows more than just the ball side of the nba knew that. It’s hard talking ball to people who don’t consider the business side of the league. He was 5’ whatever no gm is “gonna back the brinks truck up” for him. First of all. 2nd. They done have their future stars. Both brown and Tatum drafted top 4 picks in respective drafts. And by the time he was traded it was already written on the wall them two gonna be good.

Andy Hoops videos and my lunch time is a Shaq & Kobe combination

2018 was the most stacked Draft class tho

You should do more draft class reviews like this

Iman Shumpert wasn't some star, but he was a key bench player for the Cavs 2016 championship squad.

Reggie Jackson deserves a mention too

3:23 to be fair to derrick williams nobody could match kyrie in the skills department even in 2024

Starting 5: Kyrie Klay Jimmy Butler Kawhi JV?

You made it sound like Isaiah Thomas is dead lol

It’s the nba equivalent of 2011 nfl draft

1996 is the best class

2011 is the most injury riddled class of all time

Let's not ignore the 2018 draft either. Luka, SGA, Brunson, Trae, JJJ, Mikal Bridges, MPJ, Donte, Huerter, Grayson Allen, Simons...

So this class only had nine players pan out and just 5 all stars

2018 Class is the Best

would D Will be the number 1 pick in the '24 draft?? but for real...

I hope I.T can have a good post NBA career. The guy doesnt deserved to be blackballed.

Look at the 2018 draft class, it’s much better than this draft class you mentioned! It has way more depth: Luka Doncic Trae Young Shai Gilgeous Alexander Jalen Brunson Jaren Jackson Mikal Bridges Michael Porter Jr Anfernee Simons Just to name a few!

People really need to stop saying Kanter got blackballed. He didn’t, he just became unplayable because of his garbage defense and lack of offensive game. By his last season, he could score in one way and defend in zero ways. Nobody can stick in the NBA with that skillset.

Kemba walker is Brandon knight with a longer career

I’d say the 1996 draft class was better than the 2003 one

59th Hanga Ádám : EuroLeague champion (2023) EuroLeague Best Defender (2017) 2× Liga ACB champion (2021, 2022) 3× Spanish Cup winner (2018, 2019, 2021) 2x Spanish Supercup winner (2021, 2022) ABA League champion (2024) Serbian League champion (2024) Serbian Cup winner (2024) All-Liga ACB First Team (2017) 2× All-Liga ACB Second Team (2016, 2020) 2× Liga ACB Defensive Player of the Year (2016, 2017) Central European League winner (2009) Hungarian League Best Defender (2011) Hungarian League Domestic Player of the Year (2011) All-Hungarian League Second Team (2011) 2× Hungarian All-Star (2009, 2011)

We gotta stop with the “Enes Kanter got blackballed from the NBA” narrative, he was just ass

2024 is gonna be the next 2011

Valanciunas would've had a better nba career if Dwane casey didn't have him on a leash.

4 videos since last week and still no video about Boston winning their 18th champion???

15:09. I disagree 👎. Klay Thompson is the man 👨. 4 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 titles, more than any pick in the 2011 draft, including Kawai Leonard, Tristan Thompson, Kyrie Irving.

2018 may be better though soon

No good reason, ok surrrrre

Vooch is my most favorite player in this draft. Always been a fan of him since his Orlando tenure 💯

pick 11 went 0-10 in a elimination game

it's interesting you mention Enes' lack of defense so much but don't talk about Kemba's dreadful defense.

Put some respect on Klay Thompson. Y’all remember he scored 35 in a quarter ?

Only the second player to cheat on khloe 😂😂

1st

6:38 he became only the second NBA player to cheat on khloe kardashian. What an achievement 😂

First

Jimmer was the greatest MALE 3 point shooter. We can’t disrespect the queen herself.

For me valancuinas was the most wasted talent.. he was a very big man

Saying Kawhi is the best player in this class over Kyrie is craaaazy 😅

Never viewed Tristan Thompson as a smart player. He was just a big guy coming out of Texas that just used his strength
