One #1 pick who I don't think got enough credit was James Worthy. He gets overshadowed by Magic and Kareem but he was a key piece to several championship teams.
Yeah but he’s a hall of famer and ranked as th 8th best SF of all time
@@canadiancommunist5161 Yup, and his number is retired by the Lakers, so we know he was amazingly good. The Lakers don't retire a player's number unless that player was above and beyond outstanding.
Hell nah everyone knows James worthy
He gets appropriate credit. If anything, it's his college career that gets lost in history. He was the best player on UNC, but since Jordan became what he became, Worthy gets treated as a footnote.
Worthy was a beast
Joe Smith. Most average name for most average 1st overall pick of all time. Do a video on him.
Lmao he so average I forgot about him
Joe Smith was good wow yea he should do an video on him 4 sure
Haha, the only reason I even know about him is because he was on my fantasy team one year. He wasn't flashy, but man, he was so dependent in helping me put up some outstanding fantasy numbers! Of course, playing alongside Kevin Garnett certainly didn't hurt.
I was looking fir Joe Smith. He was borderline on being a bust and an average guy. But nevertheless, he probably #9 on this list
If not for the Wolves losing all those picks from signing him, we wouldn't remember him at all. He wasn't good, wasn't bad, just so forgettable, you could make an unvideo about him.
David Thompson was Kobe/MJ b4 Kobe/MJ.. Unfortunately.. Cocaine
My guy was called Skywalker. That's basically Air Jordan before Air Jordan. We'd be wearing Skywalkers instead of Jordans if it weren't for cocaine.
Michael Jordan idolized David Thompson growing up. Sywalker was MJ's presenter at his hall of fame induction.
@@ing4gi Before the cocaine took him down, Sywalker was the man. The 1st 3yrs after the merger, he terrorized shooting guards. Dennis Johnson said he gave him fits early in his career.
mans dropped 73 points
@@vis3007 Good point. I nearly forgot about that
Glenn Robinson was one of my favorite players growing up . best Mid range jumper besides Jordan in that era. Game very similar to Carmelo . Great to see my guy get some recognition .
Big Dog! Lol
Fun fact: As of June 2019, Kenyon Martin is the last senior drafted 1st overall.
Wow! Probably wont see that again soon.
3 years later nothing changed
Anyone who's seen space jam knows Larry Johnson was a beast
Let alone on NBA highlights. He's like Zion, undersized yet so powerful.
😄👌good one
Larry Johnson has to be the best comparison for Zion Williamson
Good observation
He was great in Space Jam too
I been saying this
Rojo99
Harold Minor, the man called baby Jordan is the Zion fit but considering his weight Robert Tractor Traylor maybe the end comparison.
I have underrated players drafted 1st
1. Bob Lanier
2.Bill Walton
3.Mark Aguirre
4.Ralph Sampson ( Definitely underrated)
5.Derrick Coleman
6.Andrew Bogut
Also maybe how good was Antawn Jamison? Nice vid :)
Pen-ju-in David Robinson
@Anonymous Kid pau was drafted 3rd
Sampson and Walton arent really underated. Most people know they were great and that injuries tore them down early.
@@TheIcemanthomas Well I see why you think Bill is, Champion, 6th man of the year, and injuries. But Sampson was underrated because people forget that before Hakeem, Sampson led the Rockets to great seasons. And when he got their, the twin towers duo was formed. and made it to the finals led by Sampson ( Help with young Hakeem) without the injuries, he would be in the hall of fame.
Good point tho :)
@@pen-ju-in9810 Sampson is in the hof
Yo Andy, you used "Hot Rod" Williams instead of Brad Daugherty at the start of #2. Just saying' lol
Haha I didn't even notice this until you mentioned it! lol
I noticed that too and wondered if anyone else did. :)
I thought I was tripping lol
Thank you.!!! As a clevelander I couldn't let that slide. Man do i miss those early 90s Cavaliers teams.
🤣🤣🤣
Kenyon Martin is nowhere near close to being a bust. Y’all throw around the term bust too much
Same thing I can to say. There is no draft where he'd be considered a bust. A good player for a long time.
@Andre Bryant kwame Brown is a bust you don't draft nobody number one overall to be a 10-year role-player
Babiest Celery45 I agree
K mart was an all star unlike Kwame
I agree
That's Hot Rod Williams, not Brad Daugherty on that picture :)
gullintanni I was just about to say that
Man props to you for mentioning Big Dog!!! I had completely forgotten about him but he was my favorite player from that draft class. He was so good in his short prime. Always look forward to these vids!!
He should have been named co-Rookie of the year joining hill and kidd.
Glen Robinson! Forgot all about that dude!!
Dude was a guaranteed 20 pts every game & unstoppable in college
facts bro big dog was fun to watch
Derrick Coleman.He is kinda forgotten.
That's why D. Thompson said it best "he blew it" (cocaine) 😅
It's one hell of a drug
Everyone did coke then...
Another great video from Andy 👏🏼
Derrick Coleman could be an honorable mention. He was 1st pick overall in 1990. Rookie of the Year, All Rookie, 2x All NBA 3rd team, All Star in 1994 and Olympic gold medal in the FIBA Americas
Alex Jimenez he’s already in another video, I think he’s in something related to underwhelming careers or something like that, he’s Probably one of the most talented power fowards ever but he was so lazy.
David Thompson may be a bit forgotten, but he's still a HOF'er
Boogie Cousins must be cheesed rn. He thought he was gonna win a ring.
Efe Udolu we’ll c...
Andy, please upload more your videos are very interesting and I can't wait until you upload a new video, your videos show how much effort you put in it which overall makes the video amazing
This is one of your best Andy! Thank you!
K-Mart was one of my favorite dunkers of all time 🔥
Nothing special about his dunks
Love that! Cheers from Poland dude, love your movies!
Great video thank you makes me feel nostalgic when i see basketball i grew up with being explained
I look forward to your videos every week!! You and CaineLovesCali are my favorite NBA video creators
for real 😂😂
ive been subbed for almost 2 yrs now
Saw Andy hoops and knew I had to watch right away
Great video Andy!
That was a great "remember me?" Vid. Bravo bro!
Great video but I was kinda sad to see Larry Johnson on the list. I remember him being an all star in Charlotte and then a role player in New York.
You should do a video on Adrian Dantley, he averaged over 30 PPG through most of the 80's but nobody talks about him cuz he never won a ring
The sad part is he got traded away from the pistons in 88/89, the same year the Lakers and Celtics lost their dominance and in 88/89 and 89/90 the pistons went on to win back to back championships
Poor guy
Coltin Thorn He SHOULD have won a ring in 1988, but that damn phantom foul on Bill Laimbeer happened!
@@Jenny010132phantom foul my booty
Isaiah Thomas was jealous of him and made them trade him
@@Jenny010132sawed-off Punk overrated Isaiah Thomas made them get rid of dantley for his buddy Aguirre
"In this video we are going to give these guys their time to shine. Not because they deserve it or I feel like they've been tragically forgotten, but because I'm running out of video ideas and have nothing better to talk about "
I'm kidding Andy 😁 we love your videos! Keep bringing the 🔥🔥🔥
BIG DOG!!!! imma Bucks fan so i never forget about him, wish he woulda had better teams to play on
I love big dog because I’m a Purdue fan
Andy with them bangers! 🔥🔥🔥
much love to you my guy 🤙
Deandre Ayton will be in this top in a few years
Lmao
What's crazy is Ayton is Brad Daugherty..the newer version!
Owen Ikeakhe Doubt it he’s gonna be seen as the top center in like 5 years from now lol
@@youmaderoskoe ayton isnt slow footed whatsoever
@CPGoat..not specifically talking about his foot speed, just overall impressions of good offensive centers who aren't viewed as defensive guys.
Some honorable mentions:
1. Ralph Sampson
2. Andrew Bogut
3. Doug Collins
4. Chris Webber
Lorencio Paolo Lagman Andrew Bogut is a Hall if Famer. For sure. Are you on crack? He is an NBA Champion, NBL MVP,!had a great FIBA career and NBA career. Had a great college career. The Basketball hall of fame is not just for NBA so considering Boguts success he will make HOF. Not First ballot or anything but he will be in HOF. He’s 35 and he’s still the best player in Australia. He won MVP last season. He’s played in 3 Finals and was Pivotal in 2. Bogut is still a better player than Ben Simmons and most likely always will be as he was realky good and still is.
@@TheGrindcorps no. He will be forgotten as number 1 pick. Don't jump out of the topic. We are talking about forgotten 1st pick.
6:03 K-Mart lmao that sounds like a convenience store.
You should keep uploading on your history channel to. Keep up the grind bro!
Liubron what’s his history channel?
Aidan Clifford Andy’s info show
I think Andy starting to fuck wit me now playing that damn sax lol
Andy your vids rock bro always! Ducking Larry Johnson...Grand ma ma was so good every1 forget the MONSTARS stole HIS talent
Please make a video about controversial Latrell Sprewell!
Kinda feel like Blake Griffin might end up on this list one day. Another PF who was plagued by injury and underachieved on the Clippers
Disagree. Blake is going in the hall of fame one day. Just look at what he's done:
6× NBA All-Star (2011-2015, 2019)
3× All-NBA Second Team (2012-2014)
2× All-NBA Third Team (2015, 2019)
NBA Rookie of the Year (2011)
NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion (2011)
National College Player of the Year (2009)
Consensus 1st team All-American (2009)
Big 12 Player of the Year (2009)
No. 23 retired by University of Oklahoma
McDonald's All-American (2007)
People put so much emphasis on winning rings nowadays but it's easy to overlook other guys' overall accomplishments.
Yes. He kinda vanished just this year and never talked after it again.
I finally get it. Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker refers to David Thompson. Since he's the original Skywalker
the first Star Wars came out early into the time Thompson was playing, he absolutely got the nickname because the popularity of the movie.
Hey Andy, how are you doing? Do you think the Raps close out the series at home in game 5?
I think you might have, I'll have to check but if you havent done a video on Jamal Crawford I would recommend making one about him, dude should win the 6th man of the century lol.
Stomile Swift 2nd pick in 2000. Oh the Horror. RIP Vancouver
Great video. On #1 I think all 3 should've won the award
8:34, that image is the late John "Hot Rod" Williams, NOT Brad Daugherty. Williams wore the #18. Brad Daugherty wore #43 in Cleveland.
Its 2 bad ur still picture of Brad Doughtery is actually John "hot rod" William's, good work though.
Trav Masters I noticed that too
Glenn Robinson was the man in Milwaukee. From what I remember, he had a gun charge and he ended up getting traded to the Hawks. I'm pretty sure that did it. He wasn't the same since.
I believe that if Elton Brand was a Laker instead of a Clipper, he would become a Hall Of Famer (I don't think he's eligible yet). Before his injury he was averaging 20 and 10 for his career, but his prime was spent on an average at best Clippers team, meaning it was tough for him to get all-star selections or make playoff runs in a loaded Western Conference.
Elton Brand was traded for Tyson Chandler (#2 overall pick) and Brian Skinner. Bulls drafted Eddy Curry with their own pick at #4, so he wasn't part of this trade. Considering that Chandler can still ball 18 years later, I'd argue this was a good trade even though the Bulls wasted his talent.
Larry johnson overlooked? I don't think so. Great content as always
I didn't know Klay's dad went #1.
At least David can say he directly inspired the GOAT.
Great vid!
When u mentioned Brad daugherty u had john hot rod Williams picture up lol
As a kid growing up in Gary, Indiana, I used to play basketball at Norton park. There was this little kid who used to shoot baskets at the opposite end of the court. This kid would grow up to become Glenn Robinson. Sadly his uncle Richard Bridgeman was an even greater talent but was lost to drugs and alcohol.
I forgot all about Glenn Robinson wow great video
Hey Andy! Is it possible to do a video about the “We Believe” Warriors?
Yo that's John Hot Rod Williams, RIP, that u had pictured for Brad Daugherty
Hey Andy, the first pic on Brad Daugherty part, that's John Hot Rod Williams
As a nuggets fan David Thompson is one of my favorite players ever even tho I didn’t have the chance to watch him growing up
Everyone remembers Grandmama Larry Johnson. He put the Hornets on the map and he had a super popular rookie year because of his play and personality. Brad Daugherty was silky smooth on offense. Very fluid and skilled. Glenn Robinson had hall of fame talent it seemed in college, but he never really improved that much or took a big jump in the NBA. It was kind of like 20 ppg and a little bit of rebounding was his actual ceiling even though he average 30 in college.
Hey Andy, can you make a video on how good James Worthy was actually?
Andy’s notification! Instant view!
8:34 is a picture of Hot Rod Williams. But I liked your information on Brad Daugherty.
Best passing big ever
but what about the legendary no. 1 pick Anthony Bennett
Old joke. Move on.
Hayd daglyd Another legendary no. 1 pick was Andrea Bradgani
Idk how to spell his last name
@@youguysdumb2039 His last name is Bargnani.
My bad
Remember like 2k16 my man David Thompson dunked/completely jumped Patrick Ewing I’ve been a huge fan since 😂
3:13, he was David Skywalker in his first seasons but then his dark side took over and became Darth Thompson.
Jamaal Crawford gets a "Yikes?" Kenyon Martin plays 15 years averaging 12 PPG and 7 RPG is considered a "bust?" C'mon man!
Wow this is weird….I’m in the middle of the Glen Robinson episode lol of the CRIME IN SPORTS podcast and then I watch this vid for the first time. Uh idk haha
hey andy could you possibly do a video on arvydas sabonis
How good Hedo Turkoglu was ? Early days in Sacremento and prime in Orlando (duo with Dwight Howard)
8:41 that's not Brad, that's hot rod williams lol
6:57 i thought you‘d bring up him and mourning throwing haymakers at each other 😅😂
Your opening pic of Brad Daugherty was in fact a pic of Hot Rod Williams
Joe Barry Carroll should be mention too as one of the most overlooked #1 picks in NBA history and was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 1980 2 picks before Hall of Famer Kevin McHale and he scored 12,455 career points and 5,404 career rebounds along with his 47 field goal percentage and like Kenyon Martin, Carroll was selected and played in the 1987 NBA All-Star Game.
Hey Andy, i’m pretty sure Kenyon Martin was an all star in 2004
Leandro Veriguete he was
When you see David Thompson play you can see the Jordan comparison. Jordan had him up there when he was inducted. Much respect.
@AndyHoops make a video about why the nba playoffs and finals decals are removed from the court of every playoff game
Being from Milwaukee, Big Dog was the shit!! I miss watching him play.
Dude David Thomson scored 71 points in a game I think he’s one of the underrated players in NBA history
Grandma Johnson Legend!
Glenn & Larry Johnson was walking buckets 👌🏽
Andy, is it possible for you to do how good Greg Ostertag was?
andy please make a video about Achilles injury and how worst is it. Recently happened to Durant.
I feel like James Worthy deserves at least an honorable mention. He was overlooked by Magic and Kareem who were the 2 main centerpiece of the Showtime Lakers but Worthy had some excellent game like that triple-double Game 7 against Detroit in the 1988 NBA Finals.
Glyndon Jermichael Warren was drafted straight outta high school by dezavala goodwill team in the first round pick (1st overall) in 2004-05 draft (Best higher draft pick)
Larry Johnson was talked about heavy especially when he was part of that beast unlv team
That team is legendary. Stacy augmon, Greg Anthony, Larry and AA. Believe Oliver Miller as well
How could I forget Anderson Hunt!
@@Ellivation exactly that's why his comments are crazy and out of pocket
@@Ellivation and I think o miller played for Arkansas
You're absolutely right!!
You should do one on that Knick’s team that made it to the finals and one on that lockout season
And You put John Hot Rod Williams when you arrived to Brad Daugherty... talking about forgotten players
I was always a fan of KMart, his defense was pretty good for a guy 6'9, too bad he was undersized at his position of C/PF.
What about Joe Smith! The 1995 draft the man who blew $63 million dollars, still not as bad as AI, but was in a draft that was power forward loaded that included Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace,SF Jerry Stackhouse, Antonio Mcdyess- who was picked #2 and another if he stayed healthy would have been a possible HOF member.
Please could you do an How good was Latrell Sprewell thanks
Why do you have a picture of hot rod Williams when you're introducing Brad Daugherty?
Say what u want about David Thompson but the dude is still an nba legend. He was a 2x mvp, 2x all-nba, and a 5x all-star in just 9 seasons. He’s easily the best player from this and after all, he’s still in the hall of fame. He just unfortunately ruined his career from substance abuse but I think he accomplished enough anyway. We just never got to see him accomplish even more
Glen Robinson super agree on you with 20+ ppg 45+% fieldgoal he's good but not being spotted
Nobody forgets David Thompson mate. He was amazing
40-Year-Old Man i never knew David Thompson until this video 😂 he definitely got forgotten
Do a video on the 93 phx suns or 06 nash suns
Could you please do a video about arvydas sabonis
I’m sure you realized too late that you used a picture of John Hot Rod Williams and called him Brad Daugherty. Other tan that great video
How do you put words under your TH-cam video
How do you start a nba channel
