As a Wizards fan, it makes me sad how John Wall-star's time ended but he's still easily a top 5 player in our history next to my favorite player ever Gilbert Arenas.
@@williefaulker Yeah. That put the nail in the coffin for that group. He beat Curry DeRozan and Jennings for RotY. Obv Harden wasn’t a starter to be considered for it
I was really mad the kings didn’t draft lillard but it was understandable at the time too we were loaded with guards and needed what was best for our team ..but I was shocked how bad trobb played as a pro he look so lost when he was on the floor and he was considered the most nba ready player from the 2012 class
Thomas Robinson is a bust. Played only a half season with the Kings and was traded midseason in his rookie year. Good player but mostly rely on athleticism. Can't defend and can't shoot. Picking Lillard was the best option that the Kings should do even if Lillard was already 22 at that time.
I get a lot of this draft class was disappointing but wall, cousins, and George were mvp candidates at their peaks. At the end of the day it’s very rare for a class to have that
Yeah they hit that peak, but they were candidates for like three years lol. PG-13 is the only player that can realistically can make an mvp run now and consistently, but he’s never been good enough to win it 🥴
Paul George was the only complete player from this draft imo…Cousins and Wall were great but they had big flaws that kept em from becoming all-time difference makers for their teams
That's true. Pg can score at all levels, play great defense, athletic, and rebound. The only thing he can't do is be a true point guard but you can't win em all
Gordon Hayward one of the most underrated players in the league he can do almost everything and could be a top 3 option on a title team.It's messed up alot of them Utah years were wasted and when did get to Boston that injury took him out and tatum/brown became the focal points instead leaving him almost an outcast.He's definitely a guy who deserved a better career
Honestly i would have taken Wall and Boogie over him if injuries were not a thing , i think Boogie was the best center in the league for a few years and the wall wall could run a team that never had any real talent other than Beal to the playoffs was amazing and he was fun to watch , PG is great dont get me wrong but lets not act like wall and boogie wouldnt have continue to get better if not for injuries
Not really that fair to say Avery Bradley hasn’t been productive since 2017. He was great in 2019-20 starting on that Lakers team. He’s been pretty good this season as well.
A good role player and can heat sometimes from 3 but that it. I was a big fan of mike since he was at Florida butt he was kinda tall and knock of version of j-will.
I feel sorry for Boogie the most. He lost out on a lot of money because his injuries came at the worst possible time. Wall's injury might have caused a huge decline but he is getting a lot of money. PG is still hooping at an All NBA level in the regular season and even Hayward has got a big contract and playing close to All Star level at the Hornets.
Bro I remember Xavier Henry with the Lakers in the rebuild era. Dude could jump out of the building and was real fun to watch. 2014 Opening Night against the Clippers was prolly the best showing he ever put out (dude led the Lakers with 22 points that game). Outside of the flashy dunks tho he didn't really provide anything else and quickly flamed out. Was kinda sad when he got cut
When my Sacramento Kings got Boogie Cousins at Number 5. I was stunned, i didnt think he would still be there at the 5th pick. With reigning Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans and the drafting Boogie Cousins. The Kings should of been way better than what they ended up producing.
Evans was the reason why they never performed as good as they should have. Sacramento could have drafted Curry, Derozan or Jrue Holliday. Any of those 3 would have been better choices than Evans...
As a sixers fan , this draft always haunts me. I knew evan turner wouldn't fit well with us. Wish we got boogie, derrick favors or pg like I was wishing at the time
Hayward still has a shot at making the All Star Game again even this year possibly he's reached a level that's close to what he was in his prime so there's definitely hope
Boogie Cousins was on his way to being one of the best big men of his generation. It's a shame that injuries made him a shell of his former self because he was on his way to a first ballot HOF career. Also if he'd have stayed in Denver and played just one more season, he would have had a ring. Because just playing 14 mins a game for them he was averaging nearly ten points and five and a half rebounds.
great video but I have to disagree with your take on John Wall. He has not lived up to the 1st pick. Maybe late lottery at best. He has played like 10 games in six years so I also don't believe he has bounced back. I agree if it wasn't for the injuries though.
I really wish Hayward hadn’t’ve left Utah. We would never have seen that horrific leg injury for starters, he was a great fit for Utah’s system, and it would’ve been interesting to get to see him play with Mitchell. I was so disappointed when he left since it was that same draft offseason!
Also this was around the time that true center era was beginning to go. Now there are a lot of players who are PFs which could be playing center and with everybody wanting to score, centers who protect the rim are a dying art.
Bro, Monroe was a Bonafide starter for Milwaukee not a bench warmer. The hype was real when we signed him to replace Zaza pachulia, it was as big a name as we could ever imagine bringing on in our small market. Sanders had no beef with the coach, dude said he suffered from depression, so he signed a huge contract and then turned around and bailed on the team. He prolly threw jason Kidd under the bus many years later when he realized he needed more money and started lying about people. What a punk.
Seeing such great players like John Wall and Boogie have there careers ruined by playing for mediocre franchises, and then having to deal with back to back career altering injuries sucks
Brooklyn Nets, then New Jersey Nets, having the worst record the previous season had 25% chance of winning the 2010 NBA Draft lottery. But ended up with the 3rd pick.
I still vividly remember someone on NBA TV saying that this was a good draft class, then following that up with the claim that the next draft would be very weak, while 2012 would be historically good. Almost impressive how one man could be so wrong in just a few seconds.

Yup, Boogie was at one time..the best big in the league. It's crazy, those injuries ruined him so much!
Greg Monroe would be a monster if he played in the 90's..... same as Jahlil Okafor
Damn I didn’t know Boban was in this draft in 2010 but undrafted
Ahh Wesley Johnson , and picked so so high and he really struggled with having any consistency
Got crossed up by Harden and was out of the league after that
Dude had the athleticism and looked like he could have became a good defender. Sadly nothing ever happened.

- went to the CBA
- still in the NBA with other teams

Russell Wilson is the problem of that draft.
Boogie spent too many years in that black hole called the Sacramento kings.

Damn, lol I had no idea Evan Turner was out of the league...retired 🤷🏾♀️
Jeremy Lin going undrafted at the time was a violation, man did everything he could for a team like harvard

What will the league be today?
As a Bayern fan I loved watching Monroe in Euroleague.
So basically, this was a decent draft class, not an amazing one.
That Wesley Johnson 4 pick came in a lil early 😂

He played like a no1 pick in his prime
Let’s not forget the worst humiliation Wesley Johnson suffered
U need to make a Jeremy Lin story. The story of bad luck.

I really wish Hayward hadn’t’ve left Utah. We would never have seen that horrific leg injury for starters, he was a great fit for Utah’s system, and it would’ve been interesting to get to see him play with Mitchell. I was so disappointed when he left since it was that same draft offseason!
They wouldn’t have gotten Mitchell if Hayward left the whole point of them getting Mitchell was to replace Hayward and that’s exactly what they did.
Cousins best center in the league at his peak?? Might have been more speculation at the time when he tore his ACL
Didn’t even mention the GOAT luke Babbitt
Turner, Thad Young and LouWill feel bad more now as they see Ben Simmons..their sacrifice was wasted
Also this was around the time that true center era was beginning to go. Now there are a lot of players who are PFs which could be playing center and with everybody wanting to score, centers who protect the rim are a dying art.
Why did Wesley Johnson's name come out so early
