Fun fact Anthony Davis holds the record for most points scored in the Palace of Auburn Hills (Pistons old stadium) with 59 points. He will forever hold this record as the palace is no longer used
@@Andrew-yc7cm I imagine AD is gonna come up to Lebron and say: "Umm.. hey did you know I scored the most points in the old Pistons arena.. I mean just saying.."

A lot of Pistons fans would disagree with your Andre Drummond grade due to his inconsistencies and perceived lack of effort. "Yes, he's a great rebounder, but his defensive game isn't good enough," is just one of the arguments.
A 45 second synapsis of his career. John Henson's "highlights" were of three other guys taking shots, so at least Robinson could say, "yeah, that was me missing those midrange jumpers."
Personally feel an A+ is a little generous for Drummond. He really was just put in a good system for him that allowed him to rack up a ton of boards and he has been known to not contribute to wins. I say an A maybe even an A- is a better grade
I wouldn’t give Marshall an F though. D + maybe C -. It’s not like Marshall was taken in the top 5. I’m loving this series and can’t wait for the 2011 draft!!!
Harrison Barnes helped the Warriors win in 2015 and had a poor series in 2016 because you know there is this guy named LeBron James but we didn't just say "oh we don't want you" it's that with KD joining we had to let him go because he was worth more than we were able to give him. his grade from me is a B+ or a fringe A-
Yeah but A+ is the highest you can go. Drummond is an A+ but so is AD because he can't get an A++ or better. Obviously they aren't on the same level but the criteria can't just be changed since AD is so good.
Gabriel Alpher It would’ve been dame playing SG though and in portland he’s been able to do that but i don’t think he could sustain that plus he loves stotts and stotts loves him so he wouldn’t get the attention he needed to improve also aldridge would likely still be in portland and he would be the star so who knows what that do just too many factors and i’m rambling aren’t I
idk if you can say he was top 3 (depending on how you define a center, of course). Not to mention that his numbers never really translated to wins + rebounding (which he mentions is one of Drummond's defining traits) is a pretty useless stat in general
Jell Work i think injuries will ultimately derail him. Same case as Greg Oden super talented but just won’t live up to the hype with Luka going after him and after Greg Oden, KD going.
If you considered trade return for Lamb and gave him an A, you should've at least considered it for Drummond too. Got years of empty stats from him and shipped him off for nothing.
I agree on a playoff team Drummond is 10 points and 12 rebouds with 26 to 28 minutes per game player. Still he is going to be in the NBA and can be a rare old school center that could shoot 3 one in a while (not good but at least he tries).
50 000 Subscribers with just 2 videos let’s be honest, he is not in Giannis stratosphere!!! Green has been trash this year without his all star buddies playing!!!
I think the pelicans draft pick with AD should have just been an A or an A-. They couldn’t do anything with him, and I understand that he was the number one pick and a superstar now. I’m struggling between that side of the argument and the fact that the team couldn’t do much with him.
J-SZN yeah the league owned the Hornets and literally no one would buy them so they rigged the draft for them to get the first pick and get AD so someone would buy them
@@triplek3149 that's true too! But at that time, I think the Bobcats were so focus on getting a college player that won in the NCAA because they were the laughing stock at the time 😂
Agreed here man, Lamb is super underrated. He isn't ever gonna be an all star, but he's gonna be a consistent scoring role player for a long time, he's one of the only players I can rely on to hit his shots in mycareer
Watching these videos has me realizing how bad the Cavs are at drafting. They could have LeBron, Kyrie, Joel Embid, Giannis, and Dame all from draft pics. And don’t say no they would’ve won more. LeBron left, they get kyrie, he’s hurt they get Embid, he’s hurt, they get Giannis. It’s just crazy how bad they are.
@MarquisofElmdoor That's Hornets fans for you. The few still around always defend this front office's decisions with "it's a conspiracy". I don't get it.
owen bender lamb as a player is mediocre so what he was involved with the trade. Rockets one big time and OKC seriously lost cause Lamb is mediocre at best.
Who are You because 59% and below is considered failing and F for failure just has a nice ring to it. Idk I’m not really sure lol. I’m just assuming there was no cool word with an E that means failure so they went with F.
MKG, Jahlil Okafor and Kendall Marshall played in the wrong era!!! Terrible shooting did all 3 players in. MKG is versatile, Okafor has a nice post game and Marshall was a very good passer and facilitator. If you can’t create your own shot or can’t knock down open shots, you are screwed!!!
Crazy how Phoenix has screwed up pretty much all of their lottery picks recently but Book... Even though Ayton is a good player, they could've gotten a much needed point in Young or Luka!!! So far they are both better than him.
To be fair, Aytons still young and could easily become a 25-12 guy in the future. I think that Rubio was the right kind of idea for them but just not skilled enough. They don't need a star point, they just need a guy who can keep the ball moving and make good reads for him and Book, a good defending wing and a solid 2 way wing and 2 years from now they could be a top 5 team in the west
This draft was 100% rigged by the NBA. Bobcats should have gotten the first pick. They had the worst record of all time and got the second pick. They could’ve had Kemba and AD in back to back drafts.
Ikr before the trade the Hornets were going to be bankrupt and they were the owned by the NBA so they "rigged" it and got the 1st pick so someone will buy their team.. 😭

@@Vs70077 Ok 😂
dame with the "?" in the thumbnail like he wasn't gonna be an A+
I clicked on this vid and went straight to the comments to see if anyone else saw that
my exact reaction lmfao
its dame time
Jacob Douthit cj too
Dame probably a A++ at this point. Dude literally carries Portland is a legend in his own right already.
Imagine being an underrated bust. That’s a whole new level of trasg
That’s the average basketball player like you or me lol
I loved watching TRob play in Portland, he just wasn't good enough but it wasn't for a lack of effort.
Hobo that chase down on corey brewer’dunk tho

Andrew Chen I love this haha

Made it 69
A+

in 3 months: grading every lottery pick in the 1947 inaugural draft.
Im wondering how long you wanna keep this series going. It's really entertaining hopefully you'll continue throughout the 80's
Nah
Alexander Bierlein Why not 80’s? That 84 draft class is probably the greatest of all time.
Shiku Bah it’s because he sounds young and he wouldn’t know how they played from day to day how he does with these players
The lottery started in '85
A lot of Pistons fans would disagree with your Andre Drummond grade due to his inconsistencies and perceived lack of effort. "Yes, he's a great rebounder, but his defensive game isn't good enough," is just one of the arguments.
I feel really bad for Thomas Robinson. He had so much potential and such a powerful story but he never really got anywhere.
Not a Kings fan but I remember thinking they won the draft getting Robinson at 5. What a a terrible take that was 😂
The greatest current series on RUclips
i love the Thomas Robinson “highlights” being a bunch of bricks HAHAHA
A 45 second synapsis of his career. John Henson's "highlights" were of three other guys taking shots, so at least Robinson could say, "yeah, that was me missing those midrange jumpers."
Personally feel an A+ is a little generous for Drummond. He really was just put in a good system for him that allowed him to rack up a ton of boards and he has been known to not contribute to wins. I say an A maybe even an A- is a better grade
The kings are so trash at drafting its ridiculous 😂😂
Or maybe just bad at developing
it's mostly how they develope their players, a popular example is Tyreke Evans
At least they have 🦊
There drafting is good now they have a young team. 3 years they could be contenders
@@yuanonio3502 🤦
Beal be averaging over 30 and still can’t get that all star spot 🙁🙁
@asian dude well the Pelicans are a losing team and Brandon Ingram made it
asian dude Trae Young got a starter spot on a losing team
I’m from the future and he’s a starter now :)
Keep up the great work man
3:31 Bradley Beal the two-time all star...
:(
Love your content and this series btw
Stop Eating he was snubbed this year though, 30 a game and still didn’t make it.🙁 but still is always has been a good player.
Stop Eating should be a 4 time all star lol
8:12 They traded for Serge and a horse
Better than mario hezonja
I can defend anyone.....except lebron
Lmao game of zones
lmao Game of Zones, it's gonna end this year.. 😭
@@ahanufrank8482 we'll take the horse!!!
pls never change that beat
I love this intrumemtal you use in your videos🔥
I just subbed to your channel. Great video and keep it up
When young players start their career in g-league/overseas instead of college, there will be less nba flops
Been waiting for this one 👍🏻
I have actually been on that wizards practice court, it isn't there anymore either.
Kendall was actually the third in assists when he was on the lakers
Those assists didn't lead to much winning though.
I wouldn’t give Marshall an F though. D + maybe C -. It’s not like Marshall was taken in the top 5. I’m loving this series and can’t wait for the 2011 draft!!!
I remember he had like a 20 ast game and thought he was gonna be good at the time😂

Remember when Dion Waiters said he was gonna better than D-Wade lmao
buto1118 that’s a bad cap
I like these videos a lot and this might be a little late, but I’d like to hear what school each player came From and how long they were in college.
i can already tell this is gonna be a banger
I love these series!!!!!❤️
Drummond shouldn’t be an A+ they traded him for Brandon Knight! I’d say he should be a A-
You should also add notable steals in the draft that didn’t go in the lottery. In this draft Draymond Green
I mean if AD gets an A+, then I don't think Drummond should also be an A+. Because I don't think they're on the same skill level, not even close.
Yeah but A+ is the highest you can go. Drummond is an A+ but so is AD because he can't get an A++ or better. Obviously they aren't on the same level but the criteria can't just be changed since AD is so good.
Although I think drummond is just an A but that has nothing to do with AD
Thanks for grinding out videos when we have nothing to do
Continue this awesome series!!!
Love your RUclips videos bro ❤️❤️
I'm surprised the Bobcats/Hornets didn't get an F for their pick. All the picks they could've had..... and they took Kidd-Gilchrist.
How far do you plan to go back in this series 🧐
@Euro Dolla they have like 8 rounds back then lmaoo imagine doing the whole draft
@@antekm2639 he only grades the lottery..
imagine Dame going second. Kemba and Dam would have been LIT. 🔥
Gabriel Alpher It would’ve been dame playing SG though and in portland he’s been able to do that but i don’t think he could sustain that plus he loves stotts and stotts loves him so he wouldn’t get the attention he needed to improve also aldridge would likely still be in portland and he would be the star so who knows what that do just too many factors and i’m rambling aren’t I
Naw, that backcourt is much to small
@Destdrom @Kai Sinnott I don’t care it would still be LIT.
Gabriel Alpher nah they would trade kemba super quick
You should do ranking the best 5 players from each draft
The grade for Drummond should be an A- cuz they ended up trading him for pretty much nothing
iballer30 but he still played a decent amount of seasons
He gave them 8 years as a top 3 center in the nba he’s a a+
idk if you can say he was top 3 (depending on how you define a center, of course). Not to mention that his numbers never really translated to wins + rebounding (which he mentions is one of Drummond's defining traits) is a pretty useless stat in general
This was a very underrated draft class
Lilliard wasn’t drafted by the blazers, he was immediately traded after the nets drafted him
In my opinion Drummond should be an A
Bro the suns front office was smoking crack...other than booker I think they have drafted a bust every video lol
Rees Hasson ayton ain’t no bust
@@jellwork9744 Yeah he is still young..
Jell Work i think injuries will ultimately derail him. Same case as Greg Oden super talented but just won’t live up to the hype with Luka going after him and after Greg Oden, KD going.
Jell Work not a video for that class yet tho
Harrison Barnes went to Dallas to make room for KD.
"Underrated Bust"
John Henson is underrated tho I mean I went to a few bucks games and every single one he came off the bench and grabbed an easy 15 rebounds no joke
If you considered trade return for Lamb and gave him an A, you should've at least considered it for Drummond too. Got years of empty stats from him and shipped him off for nothing.
I agree on a playoff team Drummond is 10 points and 12 rebouds with 26 to 28 minutes per game player. Still he is going to be in the NBA and can be a rare old school center that could shoot 3 one in a while (not good but at least he tries).
Is that Austin Rivers tape legit? Shit like that makes me start to think I could be in the league, only to get my feeling hurt by everyone else.
Do best and worst picks of the decade
Andre Drummond with an A+ is a reach
So we ain't gonna mention Damian Lillard was a mvp contender
No
Keep it up 👍🏽
Does this video have the most “A+” in it?
Unless he does a 2003 draft
So far, but the next draft is 2011 so yeah I know that draft is going to get more A+
*can't wait until the 2004 draft*
DPOY, Mr. Triple Single Draymond Green was also drafted this year
He’s only doing the lottery picks
@@cristianescobar8978 Yeah, I know. I just mentioned him to acknowledge that this draft had multiple stars
@@cedarwod_ Yeah he should have mentioned it the last video (2013 draft) he mentioned Giannis but he was not a lottery pick..
50 000 Subscribers with just 2 videos let’s be honest, he is not in Giannis stratosphere!!! Green has been trash this year without his all star buddies playing!!!
Barnes did not leave home Free. He rejected warrior's offer.
Thomas Robinson was upset DC ( his hometown team) didn’t draft him as he hoped and seemed to expect. He hated Sacramento
John Henson had every athletic attribute on his side? Really?
Omg "underrated bust" is a word i never thought i'd hear of
6:10 I mean he was one of the people that normalized it soo obviously
Rivers shot changed so much
I think Barnes could’ve been a b+
I think the pelicans draft pick with AD should have just been an A or an A-. They couldn’t do anything with him, and I understand that he was the number one pick and a superstar now. I’m struggling between that side of the argument and the fact that the team couldn’t do much with him.
2:36 nobody gonna talk about that dudes forehead
The Charlotte Bobcats got robbed from that 1st rd pick. The Hornets were about to go bankrupt, so they had to give the 1st pick to the Hornets 😭
J-SZN yeah the league owned the Hornets and literally no one would buy them so they rigged the draft for them to get the first pick and get AD so someone would buy them
@@NCrockhunters yep. Its tragic but that's how "business" goes. I'm just sad cause I'm a Charlotte Hornets fan and we got rob hard 😪

Damian lillard has to be a A++ he is the best point guard in the nba this year and next year
Damn you can see the future?
I mean Curry?
I honestly like this draft class and I remember when Robinson dropped to #5 and he started crying cause he felt like he was better than that lmao
Nah man he was crying because he knew his career was over because the kings drafted him
El Domo he was crying for family reasons look it up
I noticed you didn't mention the haul New Orleans got from LA in the Davis trade.
eric veneto because it has nothing to do with this maybe ?
He ALWAYS takes trades into account when grading apick
Mention where the players are currently playing
Thomas Robinson had potential
Charlotte got screwed out of getting AD.
@MarquisofElmdoor too be fair, MKG was a beast in college.

Imagine giving Lamb a A 😂😂😂
It's because he was traded for harden. Did you not listen to the vid?

@@Klaus119 yes you said it yourself, the team that drafted Lamb (Rockets) won the trade by getting Harden, which is why the grade is an A

Bradley Beal and KATs all star snubs this year still have me annoyed at the NBA

daniel cunningham F for failing.

‘cats should’ve gotten davis
No shout out to Draymond?
Davis, Lillard, Beal, Drummond one of the best draft class everr
Thomas Robinson wasn't even that horrible, his game just doesn't translate to the modern NBA
Grade the 2010 NBA draft
Grade off-season signings
you should countinue more grading
how u gonna give jeremy lamb an A?
It's because he was used to acquire James Harden. Lamb himself doesn't deserve an A, but his part in that trade carried a lot of weight.
I dont how cavs can fuck up 2012,2013,2014 top picks😂😂😂
