- The 2006 NBA Draft has been labeled one of the worst draft classes in history due to many players never living up to their expectations whether that be just because they were straight up bad or got injured along the way. Today we find out what happened to these players both in their careers and where they are now.

Brandon Roy was special. Really thought we had something in Portland before the injuries to him and oden. That team was probably our best shot since 2000
If everyone stays healthy that team wins a title and Roy is a first ballot hall of famer.
@@kyleshuler2929id even go so far as to say oden would be a HOFer too. he was great before he got hurt
Bargnani would have been a star in this era. Maybe not a superstar but a sought after talent stretch 5, and the much softer defence of this era would have fit his game.
Andrea Bargnani was a beast! He was the early 00s version of what the Stretch 4 is today. Hats off to him for being a trailblazer!!!
Adam Morrison was notorious for not showering...they had to threaten him because he stunk LOL
Dude is gross
@@yourtrappedinmygenjutsu I mean the showers are right there on your way out lol
It's a travesty that Aldridge never got a ring but old Stinky snagged 2.
Second
Edit: If you're a European big, you will never escape the comparison to Dirk Nowitzki. 😆
Jokic never got any comparisons to dirk. Media said he was just a Project
Never .... Lol
Dirk and now Jokic too.
Joker lol never heard them mentioned in the same sentence
@@hankmoney1845his draft comp was actually vuvevic
I’m starting to think that 2006 all rookie team don’t mean anything 😂
Just think for a moment in a Trailblazers with no injuries:
Lillard-Roy-Batum-Aldridge-Oden
What if....
trailblazers likely don't get first pick
@@CommentEnthusiast You understand what is a "what if", don't you?
Btw, B-roy first season with blazers was 06-07. He played 57 games. Blazers record was 32-50, they didn't win the 1st pick because of the worst record, but a bit of luck.
I don't think that Roy made any difference that season saying that it was his rookie season and Blazers didn't have the worst record.
Also, Lillard pick (6th pick) wouldn't be affected as it was actually a Brooklyn Nets pick.
It's a what if, as i said.
That would have been a deadly lineup you literally got a mix of everything you need in a starting team
They wouldn't get Lillard if Roy hadn't been injured
@@MichaelKing015 Lillard came from a Brooklyn Nets' pick, not a Blazers' in the trade for Gerald Wallace.
That pick would have been the same no matter Roy or not.
Adam Morisson looks cleaner now. good for him.
Lowry becoming a late blooming all star & perennial All-NBA consideration player saves this draft class from being the worst of all time.
I forgot about Clyde shitting on Bargnani for taking that shot.
I started watching basketball in my youth in the late 70s. Rudy Gay was a spectacular player. I loved his mid range game.
We should be talking about the Vorp Brandon Roy had in only 6 years compared to everybody else’s 15-18
Vorp isn't a good stat all it tells you is that you're better than the player that may come into the line-up under you
The issue with Andrea was also how he ended up filling out as a player he became very bottom heavy which meant he lost basically any burst he once had, and he couldn't jump, that mixed with a lack of muscle in his top half made him an awful rebounder and a traffic cone on defense and you simply can't have that with your starting centre nor can you have someone that slow footed play powerfoward, even dirk was pretty athletic in his hayday.
If Sheldon Williams was drafted in 1996 instead of 2006 he would have had a hall of fame career. He was a beast.
I think if Adam Morrison didn’t get hurt he could have had a decent career
I really can’t fault a player for not living up to their potential if injuries are involved. Some injuries are avoidable but no player intends to get injured.
Back when Toronto was Drafting based on the cities multiculturalism to attract new fan bases.
When Toronto cared more about bumms in seats then on court product.
The Bulls messed up by trading Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas. The team would have looked different with Aldridge and Rose playing together. He was picked, only two years later.
Agreed, they would’ve been deadly
There’s also a chance they don’t draft in the lottery to get Rose. They have would’ve had Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol, Aldridge, Noah/Wallace. That team may have been just good enough to not draft in the lotto
@@alexl6556 exactly. Alridge with deng, hinrich, Ben Gordon would be nice lineup
Still weird that Andrea Bargnani went first overall 😂
This draft was more bottom heavy than top heavy. Yes, Roy and Aldridge turned out to be great, but there were some great players at the later stages of this draft. Lowry, Rondo, Millsap was the 47th pick, etc. but outside of Aldridge and Roy, this has to be one of the worst top 10 picks in history. Bargnani never had the it factor to get better, sure, injuries played a part. Williams was nothing, Morrison was a joke, but god what a player at Gonzaga, Thomas didn’t do anything.
Morrison has a championship. Lmao
It's important to mention that that 2015 blazers team was on pace for 60 wins. The blazers ABSOLUTELY put it together with dame/aldrdige/wes/batum/rolo. That team was deadly as hell and a dark horse contender. Of course, this is the blazers so injuries completely derailed every thing.
Also aldridge signing with the spurs WAS NOT the right move. They never won a ring with him there, kawhi left, and he screwed over an entire franchise in the process. Had he just stayed with dame, that would have given him so much more to work with. Aldridge leaving the way he did is exactly why the dame era played out the way it did.
Tbh Roy could have been a hall of famer
Roy still hurts. 5 years, ROTY, 3x All Star, 2x All NBA
Terrible draft when you think of NBA careers.. But at least according to this video, lots of meaningful post-NBA careers and not a lot of serious troubles afterwards..
Adam Morrison was one of my favorites fr😂
If Aldridge could help victor gain some healthy weight and muscle, he would be scary unstoppable
The fact that Morrison got 2 rings still funny 😂
I’m shocked Rudy Gay wasn’t an all star at least once he was a really solid player
I bet the Bulls regretted trading away Aldridge when D Rose got there lol having him instead of Taj Gibson would have been a massive improvement
True, I miss Rose on the Bulls. Those were the days
“Warriors being a little bit too much for the Spurs in 2017” might be the biggest understatement ever, considering the Warriors injured Kawhi Leonard.
That’s why I had to stretch out the “little”
shoutout to the bbl kyle lowry
Lowry is unmatched in that department
🤤
Crazy he the last one standing in that draft
Even crazier is that he's still starting his longevity is goated@@luischavez1260
Rudy Gay would had been a great 3 or 4 option to a contender he should had joined LBJ when he was in the Cavs.
I guess I should have looked at the title. I thought for sure you were going to talk about the best ones like Rondo but you only barely mentioned them but I guess that's the opposite of the title
I’m switching to covering almost every pick for future drafts, starting with the 2007 draft. So more people will be included
@@SweatbandSports I only watched it because I'm a huge fan of Rondo
Actually Bargnani was not a bad pick. He got talent and modern big men skills. But was too soon for the time, his position was locked by Bosh and had multiple injuries. He has olso a mental breakdown and retired before his 30s. Potentially he was a Dirk, with right development and luck. Just never happened.
God. Brandon Roy and Greg Oden being derailed by injuries just made it rough to be Portland fan. But I did get to see him play a couple times at the rose garden so that’s cool.
Brandon Roy was a beast. Its a shame what injuries did.
Injuries ruined this draft
Facts
@@SweatbandSportshow dare you ignore the studs outside the top 10 of this draft?! JJ Redick, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Lowry, PJ Tucker, Paul Millsap, and Mavs Legend JJ Barea?!
14:02 of all the pictures you picked this one 🤣🤣🤣
Saw it and was like, oh yeah I gotta use this one somewhere!😂
It’s perfect 😭 he was scrub frfr
Randy foye condition was insane
The goat of nba 2k jumpshots came out of this draft
Zaza ruined the spurs dynasty they would of won at least one by 2020
holy shit my first nba game was at 2:14 i don’t even remember it I was 4 years old but It was 11-1 2010 and i knew kings played the raptors so had to look up the play-by-play and it matches. crazy shit
BRo Adam Morrison looking so fresh when he shaved clean BRo looked just like he still in his 20s or 30s BRo wow keep it clean at all times BRo nice job BRo 😉😆😁🏀🏀💙💙🔥🔥👌🏽✌🏽🤘🏽💯✅
Yeah, the ‘06 draft class wasn’t great overall, but the Raptors totally wasted the #1 pick on Bargnani. He ended up being a total disaster. And all anyone remembers him for now in Toronto is his pasta commercials.
I know it’s easy to look back on it and say that in retrospect, but if I were the Raptors, I would have gone with Aldridge that year. He would have been a better overall fit. I feel like Bargnani was picked as the Raptors way of trying to make a splash, and it backfired hard.
AB7 is my 2K Goat
20/10/2b, All Stars and ANBA and so many fun moves
They made Bargnani gain weight to play C because Bosh was a lock at the 4 ...slowed him down bigtime and caused injuries...he would prob thrive in todays NBA funny enough
It really wasn't andrea ended up being a good player not great not n1 pick great but good 20ppg one year ... roy reached star status before injuries rudy gay was elite for some time LA was elite for like 6 years so yeah pretty solid draft
And really looking further into it you had guys like rondo ended up being elite Lowry as well jj redick had a great career sefolsha was good for okc
Delusional Raptor fans used to think Bargnani would be better than Dwight Howard when he was picked, lol. Guy was trash.
He was the first pick of the draft, wtf were fans suppose to think at the time? 😂🤦♂️
Adam Morrison was the smelliest player in NBA History! 🥇
What does he smell like? I’m curious😅
How does an appendectomy make you miss 13 games?
That’s nuts, I was out snowboarding within a week.
The physicality may be a barrier but it still is maybe like a 2 week rest
If the appendix is too enlarged it can wrap around the colon, calling for a larger incision. I would guess this is what happened, takes longer for the scar to heal to where the stitches won’t pop.
LA was the main guy for the Blazers for maybe about a season and a half ...
Brandon Roy would have been a Superstar for sure. Too bad he lost his career due to his injury. Trailblazers were unlucky Oden was injury prone too.
To be fair to Oden, Roy and the Trail Blazers no athlete intends to get injured.
I always liked them Italien shooters like Gallinari and Bellinelli more than Bargnani
Sheldon Williams got cadence Williams pregnant but then she became gay. So idk if that was a win or a huge L
Think bargnani would flourish in today's nba. As mobile perimeter bigs was not as common as it is today putting on weight to become a traditional big really hurt his career
There was a first round playoff game between Dallas and Portland. Where Dallas dominated the series Roy had a throw back moment where he just went off to like single handily Carried the team.
Bargnani was never very good... I always liked him
New sub fw the content bro 💪
Appreciate you fr! Thank you
Bro Sheldon Williams turned Candace gay😂
Imagine
Brandon Roy
Kevin Durant
Lemarcus Aldridge
At ur 2,3,4
Kawhi injury made the difference
Nah Aldridge, Roy and Gay are all great players.. everyone expects a shaq or Kobe… stop playing with these greats 💯
Dont you ever slander Denver 2k legend Randy foye
😂 I think your video got Bargnani to much attention. He changed his instagram name an limited comments 😂.
Andrea Bargnani the Walmart dirk 💀
13:59 😭😭
16:50 A girl in my classes dad is him Pilar foye
Aldrige had a hall of fame career he should not be in the thumb nail
He’s just a familiar face, Gay wouldn’t be in there either if the thumbnail was completely based off that
A center averaging 5 rebs a game ?
Bench guy
I feel like any white European player that got skills they compare 2 Dirk... It's not the case tho
this draft was disappointing, but not disasterous....no where close to 2000
Aldridge was loved in Portland. We wanted him to be the greatest Blazer ever (like he promised), then he turned his back on the franchise because Lillard was starting to become the main man. Now Portland hates him with a passion. If only we could have seen what a Lillard-Aldridge team could have done had they played together longer. F him. F him all to hell. LOL
Yeah, i'm not watching a 24 minute video. Cut it down to 15 minutes max, otherwise the video is too long.
The entitlement is crazy.
Shits be interesting
Wow I’m early

ZAZAK warriors wasn’t shit
