[@shamus248]

this draft was actually solid Kyrie Irving Kawhi Leonard Klay Thompson Tristan Thompson Kenneth Faried Enes Kanter Isaiah Thomas Kemba Walker Reggie Jackson Tobias Harris Marcus Morris Nik Vucevic Iman Shumpert Jimmy Butler Norris Cole Brandon Knight

[@hipass_]

Shamus Gerrity back then not almost every one sucked Tristan Thompson Kenneth Faried Enes Kanter Jonas Valanciunas Reggie Jackson Iman Shumpert Harris Jimmy Butler Norris Cole And Now they have great talent

[@hipass_]

Drew Hernandez you forgot about klay

[@onevision9536]

Drew Hernandez norris cole has 2

[@Illmatic662]

+Shamus Gerrity With the way Biyombo has been playing with the Raptors this season, you might as well throw his name on there as well

[@mightybryan1033]

+Drew Hernandez you stupid😂

[@ilhamnurfadillah7587]

cavs select wrong thompson

[@zhangzhizhong9726]

It should be klay

[@markhowell1495]

This class wasn't nearly as bad as people thought. Kyrie Irving, Klay Thomp., Kawhi Leonard, etc

[@vivekkandasamy5317]

All of them are all-stars

[@spicyshizz2850]

Mark Howell kawhi bigger than all of them now

[@MyUniqueHandle.]

Kawhi is in elite company now in terms of accomplishments

[@ImDewys]

imgine if the cavs took klay instead of tristan o my hahaha

[@ronigorani6847]

tristan can ball, and they already got a average/great SG that shoots over 40% from three.

[@Richiesam2]

Dewy or jimmy butler and Kawhi

[@VandoDaGoat]

They needed a center that’s why they got tristan

One of the Best Underrated draft class ever

[@user-nr2ku9dk9b]

Veseley really hit his career peak 3 seconds after he got drafted

[@nathandome1658]

Imagine Cavs get Kawaii instead of Tristan

[@RiqSniper]

Nathandome1 I’m late but or Klay Thompson

[@kazstacks]

They could never develop him like Popovich did so it could be a bust

[@zhongkai2652]

if cavs draft kawhi,then kawhi will be the second benett

[@mobch8490]

Everyone in this comment disrespect kahwi name.. "kawhi", "kawai" wtf...

[@TheOriginalGankstar]

Kawhi and Kyrie are big time. Man, the offensive display Kyrie put on in the 2016 finals was absolutely spectacular. And Bron, well he was just a MONSTER. Best player and he's got a young talent in Kyrie who can become one of the top 5 players in the league in the future - only 24 with his prime to come. Cavs could win 3-4 titles.

[@russelwestgoat8751]

Kyrie saved this draft class LOL

[@eNxO777x]

klay and kawhi there too...dafuq

[@kite8680]

Unlucky

[@Ferhat4161]

i hate when people call the 2011 draft weak, kyrie is a superstar, kawhi leonard, kenneth faried, klay thompson, valanciunas, kanter, chandler parsons, isiah thomas or kemba walker are future prospects of their franchises and really talented. i think the 2012 draft is way more bad

[@theknicksfan7135]

draft 13 was waaaaaaay worse than those two

[@lilpookie708]

TheKnicks Fan u know its bad when someone not picked in the top 10 wins rookie of the year # only 2013 draft

[@ripppking]

+TheKnicks Fan possibly the worst in decades

[@Richiesam2]

Ferhat4161 what about jimmy butler

[@jordantassone]

YaBoy Sam 2013 is the worst

[@joeyhoelscher5142]

Damn hearing Stuart Scotts voice brought tears to my eyes

[@TheDanKyu]

Damn if Cavs drafted klay or kawhi after drafting kyrie, whole nba history would have been changed lol

[@dylanhernandez4803]

And Giannis

[@ashcupcake66]

Let's Go Uncle Drew

[@agentgilbert0]

very young shot-blocker from spain. he was drafted to play defense and grab rebounds. not much offensive game, but he is athletic and gets above the rim

[@leonoflight]

2011 so stacked, something must have went right the last few years before 2011 for basketball

[@blastblaster5528]

this draft class is so stacked

[@PriestsVault]

Enes Kanter is actually pretty damn good and you'll see that more this year when he's starting.

[@kangal1202]

@johnDomain lol

[@OoO-nv1lb]

No

[@dboii9741]

Kanter is the softest center ever

[@db_41000]

1: A+ All Star 2: D+ Never panned out as an all star, but he probably could still be a decent role player 3: B- Finally made it work with OKC and seems to fit in perfectly there 4: B Not Klay or Kawhi, but a solid player nonetheless, still a key piece on the Cavs roster 5: B Not the best player but has proven to work well in Toronto alongside DeRozan and Lowry 6: F Out of the league almost 5-6 years later. Klay, Kawhi, and Jimmy G. Buckets still on the board 7: C+ Never panned out as a star, but showed promise in Toronto, and looks to be taking minutes from Vucevic in Orlando

[@ndhart3213]

never heard of jan vesley

[@sandimiphone7130]

and top picks 2011 for now : 1. kahwi leonard - rings + 2 times dpoty + all star + usa teams + mvp 2017 finalist 2. kyrie irving - rings + all star + usa team 3. klay thompson - 2 rings in 3 final + all star + usa team + 2nd best shooter and 3pt in 4 years under steph curry 4. isiah thomas - all star - usa team - lead celtics as highest point scored 5. buttler - all star - usa team

[@babyj.7793]

This batch is amazing all of them are Starplayer

[@MrSpawn824]

Kemba was a huge steal

[@roronoauchiha4230]

Fans reaction when jazz pick Ernest later with mixed cheers a bit of happy cheers and lot of unhappy sound.... How come he's pick before Klay Thompson

[@xXxTupac4everxXx]

isaiah Thomas was a Huge steal for the Kings

[@WrestlingFan24100]

I have too say after 2 yrs I love Kyrie and im very impressed with Tristan Thompson

[@B501R]

I have too say too that after 11 yrs I love Klay and im very impressed with Penis Kanter

[@ingypacc9552]

Derrick Williams is actually playing well recently.

[@luistellem8218]

Still not like a #2 pick

[@dftmmwgitd]

and now he's not on any NBA team.

[@tristanstalnaker5797]

2020 check but he isn't doing the best right now

[@iCourtZ]

Top five Kyrie, kawhi Leonard, klay Thompson, Jonas valanciunas, kemba walker

[@Tehui1974]

I've never fully understood how the NBA draft & contracting system works. How much do each of these draft players get paid? And how long are they contracted for with the club that selected them?

[@B501R]

Don't ask.

[@realEmreCetinkaya]

2003 best draft since 1986

[@vatocat4953]

What we know now: top 10 1. Kawhi Leonard 2. Kyrie Irving 3. Klay Thompson 4. Jimmy Butler 5. Isaiah Thomas 6. Kemba Walker 7. Nikola Vucevic 8. Tristan Thompson 9. Reggie Jackson 10. Tobias Harris

[@steveabitante8220]

And Jonas won at every age along with MVP honors.

[@Kurama157]

i forgot how bad Cleveland was before LeBron came back lol😂😂

[@shazam0964]

As a raptors fan we should have drafted Kawhi at 5 he even tried out with but still got a good player.

[@Juiianm]

This draft class is easily top 3 of the 2010s but the order they drafted oh my god it’s hard to look at lmao, so many all stars drafted late by teams who would be DYNASTIES RN if they had drafted right, smh

[@michaelchua8775]

this is actually a top 5 best class for me

[@michaelchua8775]

there isn't that legend type player but it's so stacked with stars

[@bladebrown8261]

Actually there is legendary type players, Kyrie Irving , Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, there’s not a better draft class in the 2010s decade then this one

[@lockedone1997]

i want to know the picks are from Colleges of USA or all around the world

Who tf is Derrick Williams? Who tf is John Vesley?

[@SoulReaperRX]

So many foreign players in the top ten. Its great.

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Kanter was best player and best human in draft , a true hero

[@ChampagneGars]

So far as of 2015.. 3 of the top 7 are draft busts, 3 are developing, and 1 is a franchise star.

[@GugaGDFABC]

Biyombo is not a bust. Best backup defensive big in the league. He always plays well when he gets minutes.

[@GugaGDFABC]

Plays well*

its his first year and hes coming off injury, i guess you didnt see glimpses of him dominating dwight howard the other night huh?

[@krepsas]

I'm sure that Valanciunas will be a mega-star in nba ! 1st pick is amazing too, to sum up i dont think that this year drafts are so bad as everyone thinks...

don't forget Chandler Parsons at 38

[@wmehal]

What about Klay Thompson, Faried, Shumpert, Brooks, Leonard, Thomas, Parsons, Kemba, and Brandon Knight? They're not too shabby:)

[@Jpurihella]

@shonoo9999 If you think about it, The 1st pick was actually the Clippers pick. If the Clippers didnt trade Baron Davis and a 1st round pick to Cleveland then they would have taken Kyrie and wont have CP3

[@_vedrann_]

The NBA Draft 2011 had the best European players.

[@SeattleBuckeyes206]

Wanna let like 5 years go by before you make statements like that?

[@curtisvo5525]

Just imagine if the Cavs took Klay Thompson, Isaiah Thomas, or Kawhi

[@hezyx]

lets be honest the only reason these players have been good is because of the picks they were , if kawhi was selected first , the story line would be completely different and kawhi would have been a bust

[@Official5Joey5Brooks]
