What Happened To The 2000 NBA Draft? (Top 10)

Some 2000 NBA Draft picks would go on to have great careers, while others are either too injury prone or just plain stink and are forced to retire early. Today we go over what exactly happened to the top 10 picks from the 2000 NBA Draft. We cover how their basketball careers went along with where they are today.

Stromile Swift in 2k used to dunk EVERYTHING 🙌🏿…. I tried to emulate his hand gesture after he dunk😂😂😂

[@themichaelphone]

Gerald green was cold too

[@TinyDraws7]

He's no champion

[@javarisjamarjavarisonlamar7517]

Yea the hand gestures were 🔥 whatever he was doing lol

[@BobbyDick22785]

That was still Sega Sports 2K

[@JohnWilliams-eh2et]

Stro was a monster in 2k

32:52 Joel przybilla is my favorite player in that draft class he was originally drafted by the Houston rockets ninth overall but unfortunately the rockets traded przybilla was traded to the Milwaukee bucks

[@Trunksytube]

I think D Miles is a good example of how important the team you get drafted to is. Imagine if he was drafted to a place with more stability.

[@oaklandsoldier8520]

Like San Antonio

[@CaliKidd1001]

Imagine if he worked on his jumper too!

[@cassiussaldana235]

Very good and thorough video, I don't often see videos that actually take time to go through each player's career so specifically.

[@jasperhayes-klein2929]

1:23 “Twin Towers” = Ming & Muggsy?!?😂

[@TheDarkestMarcus]

Nice work, it's cool hearing some of these forgotten names after all this time.

[@SweatbandSports]

Thank you! It’s interesting to go back and cover some of these older names

[@mrrodone]

Excellent analytics and smooth transitions full of amazing insight. I miss this year and following ball with players like this.

[@marcus_mannebach]

Mike Miller was always one of my fave players. Still got his Grizzlies jersey.

[@TheHIDDENPLAYBOOK444]

Hell yeah bro.... Keep making videos like this. Their definitely interesting 💯🙏

[@SweatbandSports]

Great to hear! More coming shortly!

[@jcchambers7896]

Kenyon mart story is so crazy mans broke a leg and still number 1 pick 😂😂😂😂 and his highlights are CRAZY

[@pkmkid84]

One of the most underrated players on this list was Jamal Crawford. He should've been an All-Star at least once, and it's a travesty that he never was one.

[@GhostofMcNabb]

He’s a pure hooper. His game was art fr

[@calebdouglas7622]

Michael Redd was definitely the best player from this draft which says a lot for a second round pick

[@CrakaBakBlak]

Kenyon Martin by far.

[@calebdouglas7622]

@@CrakaBakBlakif the micro fracture tear’s didn’t happen then maybe but with Redd he was an all star, had an all nba team selection, was an Olympian and at his peak averaged nearly 27 points a game so he definitely had the best prime.

Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller were solid AF

AWESOME 💪🏽🏀💯‼️

[@jasonv2323]

As a Bulls fan watching these videos shows me even more how awful the decisions the Bulls have made over and over again! They gave away a rising star Crawford for a bunch of nobodies! How many times have we done this? Pisses me off! Portis,Markennin, dinwiddie, butler, deng, brand, just a few that come to mind that left and went on to be very good!

[@thomasmontgomery805]

Deng was only ever good on the bulls then he was just a overpaid started with injury issues and you didn’t even spell Lauri’s name correctly

[@demri123]

J. Crawford best of this vid

[@1luc771]

Amazing video!

[@SweatbandSports]

Thank you!

[@demri123]

D Miles was about to be a 20ppg scorer w/o that knee injury

[@daREALtruestory]

I remember the Demarr Johnson story when it happened, truly sad.

[@aybgreg6748]

The newly added Charlotte team was initially called the Bobcats for like 10 yrs. At that time, the NO team had the Hornets name. So now, the Pelicans are the "newly added" team lol

[@patxhmadetj2693]

[@neilbryanbucsit197]

I would argue that if the Nets didn't have Kidd, Martin would just be remembered as another guy with insane athletic ability that loves to dunk the ball

He still is.. He was good his first 4yrs left NJ then became irrelevant

It's crazy saying only playing 56 is missing a substantial chunk of the season. I blame load management lol.

[@konstantinkoverchenko9587]

I wish Martin got drafted by the sixers, A.I. needed an enforcer.

[@certifiedchaos4643]

Bingo I also think he should have played sf a little more.

I had such high ass expectations of Stro Swift. 😭😭😭

[@williejay9463]

Why? That’s on you as a bad fan. That’s why you work in ______ and not in NBA front offices.

[@RJPDay]

Crazy that Jamal Crawford still looks 25. If you see him on NBA network, he looks like a young analyst. But he played until he was 40.

[@AfterHoursWithRed]

7:01 is that marlo from "The Wire"?

[@milkywayan2232]

Interesting video. The best solid I can give you is to strongly, very strongly, extremely strongly Recommend you stop doing the blur to clear fade. It's really tough on the eyes.

[@ep95409]

For a sec i thought Mike was Mr Beast

[@SweatbandSports]

That pic does kind of look like him

[@redlion45]

Crazy that this draft's best player was Michael Redd. Which no disrespect, he was a great 3 point shooter and could've been viewed a lot different if his team wasn't trash and if he didn't destroy his knees. Still, the fact that he's the best in this class is kinda nuts.

Anyone got the name of the instrumental? I find it very soothing and nostalgia inducing.

[@KevinGrandpre]

San Antonio was a slaughter house it sounds like

[@SweatbandSports]

They were a force to be reckoned with back then!

[@certifiedchaos4643]

I think the nets made a mistake not keeping Martin around. If he stays in the east he makes a few more all stars all nba teams all defense teams and possibly a hall of fame nod. I also think he should have went to Miami in 2012-2014

[@andrem.thomas332]

He maxed out in college honestly.

[@certifiedchaos4643]

@@andrem.thomas332 noooo he averaged 23 in the finals and drop 35. If he stays with the nets and j Kidd things are different

[@robert-surcouf]

Sad for Kenyon, the kings and nets. In a world without corruption, one of them will be the 2002 champions and many lifes will be changed with Webber not being belittled by Shaq (the same guy who sould shut up about one of his ring) or Kidd will probably retire before joining Nowitzki and the mavs will never be champ.

[@andrem.thomas332]

This was the worst draft class of the past 25 years, maybe 30. I respect any, and all NBA players but I'm just being honest.

[@irbka1988]

Knowing what we know now about mo cheeks I think everyone owes miles an apology.

I hated keep on drooling I was so mad when he made it onto the Celtics

[@mangrove]

TIL Kenyon Martin was born in Sag Nasty.

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

I still believe BULLS messed up in this draft. In 99, they got Elton Brand & Ron Artest. In 2000, they had 2 top 10 1st round picks. They brought in Floyd from Iowa St to HC, that was bad bc who they take at #4? Marcus Fizer from Iowa st. SMH. With those 2 picks, they could've drafted C Chris Mihm, so was a prototypical center, solid. & Quentin Richardson, from DePaul which is in Chicago. So for 2 drafts, you fill 4 positions?. SG Richardson PF Brand SF Artest C Mihm bc remember in 2nd round, they drafted 2 PGs, AJ Guyton & Khalid El-Amin

[@violetscott5628]

The problem with the Bulls in that era was that they gave up on young talent way too soon, and the Jay Williams motorcycle wreck. They realistically could have kept Brand, drafted Chandler at center, Artest at the 3, Williams at the 2, and Heinrick at the 1.

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

@@violetscott5628 you passing up the whole 00 draft, which is subject here. I'm saying if they had Brand, Artest, Mihm, Richardson, they wouldn't have had top picks in 01 & 02 & 03.

Jamal Crawford should be HOF.
