0:35 THANK YOU PIERRE I've had enough of these hindsight merchants who (still to this day) say that the Sixers were wrong for picking Markelle at #1 "oh I'd have taken Giannis first in 2013 if I was the GM" smh

[@nrbmemes2414]

Sixers were not wrong. If I'm Philly I'm still taking Markelle. If he didn't get a "ghost injury" he was going to be an amazing player. TOC is a injury that takes a long time to detect and a long time to solve.

[@fpl_djhammer]

@@nrbmemes2414 I know 😂 that's why I said I'm tired of people who say that nonsense hahaha

[@captainjocksperow1058]

“Hindsight merchants” 😂😂 bro nba community is too funny

[@cronggpal]

Hope markelle becomes an established role player for the rest of his career. Rooting for that guy

[@nrbmemes2414]

@@cronggpal I think the potential to still be a 15-20 PPG scorer is still there. Just he's a few years behind on his career because of injury. 1 year younger than Tatum so he's 25 right now.

Rating the fits 1. Dmills 2. Pierre 3. Kenny 4. Mike Dmills and P got that ish on. Definitely one of their better fits.

[@JoeyHuman]

i LOVE videos like this when you guys talk about historical stuff. Please do a lot of stuff like this in offseason. Y'all promised an all-time draft after NBA 75 and never got to do it....

[@shanefrederick7731]

What is the Kings had taken ANYONE but Bagley...

[@hittkid6312]

They were very much into Fox then so they'd probably get JJJ, which is an absolute win over Bagley lol

[@itsgl00my88]

To be fair Bagley wasn't bad he just went to the wrong spot and was injury prone.

[@j-roc6989]

Taking Bagley over Luka is the biggest draft oversight ever without question

[@Hotsauceonmy]

@@itsgl00my88don't know how you could look at Bagley's stats and think he wasn't bad

[@itsgl00my88]

@@Hotsauceonmy he had some decent seasons there. He went to a team coached by Luke Walton bro and then had injury issues. He shouldn't have ever went above luka(I thought luka should go number 1 at the time) or Trae, but he did have some okay enough season to see his potential. Like 15 ppg, 7 rpg seasons or something like that. Luke never got him to buy in on defense and never taught him how to play right within the team.

[@carsonboyett5352]

ATL better not fold, they gotta develop this young cat no matter their pick

[@supermish8912]

NUMBERS ON THE BOOOOARDDD

[@hittkid6312]

Man I still remember freshman year and my buddy was so mad when Hawks did that trade and the reasoning was "culture". Guy still hasn't let it go and actually got worse when the trade news about Trae started.

what if Charlotte took Boston’s offer of 6 picks for #9 in 2015.. they wanted Winslow

[@Meagain111]

Migos made that song before Trae got drafted but I feel you 😂

[@timemaster6155]

The warriors weren’t picking ant when they had 1st pick

Exclusivooo 🗣

[@osiriskid77777]

To me one of the biggest draft "What if's" is what if the Lakers had drafted T-Mac like Jerry West wanted the year after drafting Kobe.

[@Rae815]

I think if ant to the warriors he'd probably look even better that he does now. he'd take that 3 spot in the warriors offense that got HB 150 million and KD in goat talks lol he'd flourish in that system... ant with that much space is scary. plus he grew so much during the time with kerr in team usa i kinda have to imagine what he would be under that warriors culture be crazy

[@ExtremelockGamer]

SGA needs to be on this thumbnail

[@fi7891]

Yall got to put yt exclusive in the title almost scrolled past

[@SmaverMitchell]

If Jordan Poole could be what he was then Ant deffo could of shined close to what he is now i believe🤔

[@derricksauer9371]

my biggest what if… what if these boys replace inside the nba after the buyout

[@char6364]

What if one of the five teams that were one ping-pong ball away (Washington, Houston, Portland, Indiana, Orlando) won the Wembanyama lottery?

[@ethanshea992]

Wemby in Orlando would be deadly

[@BB-ud6gf]

Markelle fultz is such an underrated story, right at the top of the video from P. Fultz was actually a very good pick at the time and made a ton of sense in terms basketball fit. He just didn’t translate to the nba level immediately. But if Fultz was who he was drafted to be, Jimmy has a ring, Embiid has a ring, Ben Simmons has a ring

[@blitz639]

I think Fultz's undiagnosed shoulder condition was the main reason he didn't turn out how he was drafted to be not that his game didn't translate.

[@blitz639]

I find the nuggets what ifs super interesting with what if they didnt trade rudy gobert or donovan Mitchell

[@magic313thomas3]

Imagine Luka and booker on the sun's. That wouldve been crazy.

[@rahjaejohnson]

If ant went to the warriors in 2020 he would’ve still had that first year (hypothetically) of injuries to Klay and Steph where he would’ve been able to have the ball a lot as a rookie and develop

[@yahiaali4059]

Wiggins was still averagin 22.5 ppg and poole was start to come to his own . They were the main reason they won the 2022 nba championship

[@rahjaejohnson]

@@yahiaali4059 poole avg 8 points a game on 8 shots , Wiggins only played 12 games that year as a warrior and avg 19 in those games lol

As a Hornets fan,what if we got the 1st overall pick after winning 7 games

[@TyTheSaxGuy]

Knicks picked Frank Tilikina over DMitch, and picked Kevin Knox over DFox I’ll never forget those awful draft mistakes

[@newmemphis]

My guy D Fox ,Nilikina and Dmitch were in the 2018 draft Fox went 5th Knox was 2019 and he was picked Before Mikal Bridges Michael Porterjr and SGA

“I think the sky is blue” P: I see what you saying I just don’t see it as BLUE

[@accordingtodrew7302]

What if Devin booker fell one more spot to OKC in the draft. Rumors were the suns were also interested in Cam Payne at the time. Supposedly Russ and KD wanted booker

[@Proj3ctX1]

What if Andrew Wiggins was never traded for Kevin Love. Would the Andrew Wiggins we see now be a different monster had he played under Bron and Kyrie? Would the Cavs have more titles? Would the Timberwolves have gotten KAT and ANT?

[@jic-z4e]

The fit would never make sense. I mean, at that time only Carmelo and Draymond were the only undersized fours the league had atleast that are effective enough to go against teams. LeBron at four with Wiggs not being a spot up shooter is chaotic.

[@Proj3ctX1]

@jman520 Wiggs would've more than likely been primarily a SG and with Bron and Kyrie there they would've focused more on making him into an elite defender

[@Aemulator.]

I’m glad Ant was never a warrior if he has his rookie season on the warriors Steve Kerr would have given up on him faster than Moody

[@pg-kv2bx]

Knicks get the 1st pick and get Zion obviously health is a what if with him too

[@jordanharvey4544]

What if mavs went from 10 to 1 like this year, Wemby and Luka😮‍💨

[@bee1444]

Kawhi ain’t Kawhi if he never goes to San Antonio. If he stays in Indiana he becomes tyreke evans.

[@SP.007]

What if the Knicks took Haliburton? Where would Sacramento be, and Where would Jalen Brunson be?

[@HalseyHFW]

What if Cavs took Embiid instead of trading Wiggins for Love.

[@jeremygibson4455]

The suns draft Jalen Brunson in the second round instead of Ellie Okobie (spellcheck)

[@zds8291]

My favorite NBA draft what if is What if the Grizzlies won the 2003 NBA lottery? Lebron would start his career with Pau Gasol, Shane Battier, Mike Miller, and Jason Williams That is a potential start to a dynasty and definitely changes the course of NBA history for LAL and SAS too

[@rickyrodriguez3259]

The clip of Luka Communicating to his team on OW is classic 😂

[@dmpdagamer]

Draft what if: what if the Trailblazers got the 1st pick in 1984 instead of Houston. Hakeem with Drexler earlier on? And would Houston pick Jordan or Sam Bowie?

[@6secsofcj37]

What if the Knicks actually got the 1st ovr pick in 2019 being the worst team and picked Zion

[@Holla412]

What if the warriors never draft wiseman

[@garrett2910]

Mavs wouldn’t have taken trae if he was on the board at 5, it would’ve been Wendell Carter or someone else

[@sheezan8259]

Anthony Edwards and Steph would have gone crazy but idk if they would've won the 2021 championship

[@loosethoughts6219]

yeah . They are thinking about the current Ant. Ant first two years in the league had a lot of bad habits that would have got him benched by Steve Kerr a lot. His development might take longer on the Warriors because they greatly favor vets.

[@sheezan8259]

@@loosethoughts6219 Its a interesting choice. Would warriors fans trade a championship for a generational talent who could bring in more in the future

[@partysover4324]

I wish this was longer

What if the NBA didnt gift the cavs the number one so they could get LeBron back ? 😮 After gifting the Cavs the other first overall two years earlier ? Is LeBron now the alltime Fumble ?

[@Scroodyy]

What if Ben could shoot 😔

[@jic-z4e]

If the sixers didnt pull that Butler trade, they wouldve been better. Robert Covington and Dario Saric fitted with Simmons well.

[@dopeman4ever]

What the hell has Steph adapted to its been the same shit since 2015. They would have 100% held Ant back. That's why they are where they are now the 2 timeline plan would have failed

[@wolfszn]

hawks would be trash with luka

[@j-roc6989]

Bro what

[@user-tc1cd3nx2f]

🤣 Luka is a more efficient better scorer rebounder passer blocker stealer clutch player There is a reason many people believe that if Luka wasn’t traded and stayed on the hawks, he would have been what lebron was in the east and keep making finals in a row Hawks have done a better job getting Trae help but the difference in dominance is insane
