this draft was actually solid Kyrie Irving Kawhi Leonard Klay Thompson Tristan Thompson Kenneth Faried Enes Kanter Isaiah Thomas Kemba Walker Reggie Jackson Tobias Harris Marcus Morris Nik Vucevic Iman Shumpert Jimmy Butler Norris Cole Brandon Knight
Shamus Gerrity back then not almost every one sucked Tristan Thompson Kenneth Faried Enes Kanter Jonas Valanciunas Reggie Jackson Iman Shumpert Harris Jimmy Butler Norris Cole And Now they have great talent
i hate when people call the 2011 draft weak, kyrie is a superstar, kawhi leonard, kenneth faried, klay thompson, valanciunas, kanter, chandler parsons, isiah thomas or kemba walker are future prospects of their franchises and really talented. i think the 2012 draft is way more bad
Kawhi and Kyrie are big time. Man, the offensive display Kyrie put on in the 2016 finals was absolutely spectacular. And Bron, well he was just a MONSTER. Best player and he's got a young talent in Kyrie who can become one of the top 5 players in the league in the future - only 24 with his prime to come. Cavs could win 3-4 titles.
1: A+ All Star 2: D+ Never panned out as an all star, but he probably could still be a decent role player 3: B- Finally made it work with OKC and seems to fit in perfectly there 4: B Not Klay or Kawhi, but a solid player nonetheless, still a key piece on the Cavs roster 5: B Not the best player but has proven to work well in Toronto alongside DeRozan and Lowry 6: F Out of the league almost 5-6 years later. Klay, Kawhi, and Jimmy G. Buckets still on the board 7: C+ Never panned out as a star, but showed promise in Toronto, and looks to be taking minutes from Vucevic in Orlando
very young shot-blocker from spain. he was drafted to play defense and grab rebounds. not much offensive game, but he is athletic and gets above the rim
and top picks 2011 for now : 1. kahwi leonard - rings + 2 times dpoty + all star + usa teams + mvp 2017 finalist 2. kyrie irving - rings + all star + usa team 3. klay thompson - 2 rings in 3 final + all star + usa team + 2nd best shooter and 3pt in 4 years under steph curry 4. isiah thomas - all star - usa team - lead celtics as highest point scored 5. buttler - all star - usa team
I've never fully understood how the NBA draft & contracting system works. How much do each of these draft players get paid? And how long are they contracted for with the club that selected them?
What we know now: top 10 1. Kawhi Leonard 2. Kyrie Irving 3. Klay Thompson 4. Jimmy Butler 5. Isaiah Thomas 6. Kemba Walker 7. Nikola Vucevic 8. Tristan Thompson 9. Reggie Jackson 10. Tobias Harris
imagine if cle took Drummond or green even Lillard in the 2012 draft and maybe klay in the 2011 draft. starting 5 kyrie klay LeBron love and Drummond or green.
If they redrafted knowing how good these players would become #1 Cavaliers: Kawhi Leonard #2 Timberwolves: Kyrie Irving #3 Jazz: Klay Thompson #4: Cavaliers: Kemba Walker #5: Raptors: Jimmy Butler #6: Wizards: Tobias Harris #7: Kings: Marcus Morris
Δημούληζ Γαλατερός It's highly unlikely, they had their pick and the clippers pick for the baron davis trade, the clippers had the 8th worst record and actually won the lottery. The cavs had the 2nd worst i think and they slid down to 4th.
I'm sure that Valanciunas will be a mega-star in nba ! 1st pick is amazing too, to sum up i dont think that this year drafts are so bad as everyone thinks...
@shonoo9999 If you think about it, The 1st pick was actually the Clippers pick. If the Clippers didnt trade Baron Davis and a 1st round pick to Cleveland then they would have taken Kyrie and wont have CP3
Actually there is legendary type players, Kyrie Irving , Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, there’s not a better draft class in the 2010s decade then this one
This draft class is easily top 3 of the 2010s but the order they drafted oh my god it’s hard to look at lmao, so many all stars drafted late by teams who would be DYNASTIES RN if they had drafted right, smh
lol someone explain to me how this is a top comment.. "john wall is a true pg and Irving is a scoring pg"? Obviously you don't know what you're talking about, and probably have never seen how well Kyrie can control a game and control the offense.
Cavs shoulda took derrick William at #1 Tristan was perfect at #4 and Anthony Benet #1 the following year was a really nice pick.. I pray they pick liangelo ball with that Brooklyn pick.. go Cavs!!
lets be honest the only reason these players have been good is because of the picks they were , if kawhi was selected first , the story line would be completely different and kawhi would have been a bust
this draft was actually solid
Kyrie Irving
Kawhi Leonard
Klay Thompson
Tristan Thompson
Kenneth Faried
Enes Kanter
Isaiah Thomas
Kemba Walker
Reggie Jackson
Tobias Harris
Marcus Morris
Nik Vucevic
Iman Shumpert
Jimmy Butler
Norris Cole
Brandon Knight
Shamus Gerrity back then not almost every one sucked
Tristan Thompson Kenneth Faried Enes Kanter Jonas Valanciunas Reggie Jackson Iman Shumpert Harris
Jimmy Butler Norris Cole And Now they have great talent
Drew Hernandez
you forgot about klay
Drew Hernandez norris cole has 2
+Shamus Gerrity With the way Biyombo has been playing with the Raptors this season, you might as well throw his name on there as well
+Drew Hernandez you stupid😂
One of the Best Underrated draft class ever
This class wasn't nearly as bad as people thought. Kyrie Irving, Klay Thomp., Kawhi Leonard, etc
All of them are all-stars
Mark Howell kawhi bigger than all of them now
Kawhi is in elite company now in terms of accomplishments
@@vivekkandasamy5317 hall of famers now. 1st ballot
cavs select wrong thompson
It should be klay
imgine if the cavs took klay instead of tristan o my hahaha
tristan can ball, and they already got a average/great SG that shoots over 40% from three.
Dewy or jimmy butler and Kawhi
They needed a center that’s why they got tristan
@@VandoDaGoat Ummmm, Tristan is a Power Forward..
Diamond Ninja_Gab /center
Veseley really hit his career peak 3 seconds after he got drafted
i hate when people call the 2011 draft weak, kyrie is a superstar, kawhi leonard, kenneth faried, klay thompson, valanciunas, kanter, chandler parsons, isiah thomas or kemba walker are future prospects of their franchises and really talented. i think the 2012 draft is way more bad
draft 13 was waaaaaaay worse than those two
TheKnicks Fan u know its bad when someone not picked in the top 10 wins rookie of the year # only 2013 draft
+TheKnicks Fan possibly the worst in decades
Ferhat4161 what about jimmy butler
YaBoy Sam 2013 is the worst
Imagine Cavs get Kawaii instead of Tristan
Nathandome1 I’m late but or Klay Thompson
They could never develop him like Popovich did so it could be a bust
if cavs draft kawhi,then kawhi will be the second benett
Everyone in this comment disrespect kahwi name.. "kawhi", "kawai" wtf...
Kawhi and Kyrie are big time. Man, the offensive display Kyrie put on in the 2016 finals was absolutely spectacular. And Bron, well he was just a MONSTER. Best player and he's got a young talent in Kyrie who can become one of the top 5 players in the league in the future - only 24 with his prime to come. Cavs could win 3-4 titles.
Kyrie saved this draft class LOL
klay and kawhi there too...dafuq
Unlucky
Let's Go Uncle Drew
1: A+ All Star
2: D+ Never panned out as an all star, but he probably could still be a decent role player
3: B- Finally made it work with OKC and seems to fit in perfectly there
4: B Not Klay or Kawhi, but a solid player nonetheless, still a key piece on the Cavs roster
5: B Not the best player but has proven to work well in Toronto alongside DeRozan and Lowry
6: F Out of the league almost 5-6 years later. Klay, Kawhi, and Jimmy G. Buckets still on the board
7: C+ Never panned out as a star, but showed promise in Toronto, and looks to be taking minutes from Vucevic in Orlando
never heard of jan vesley
very young shot-blocker from spain. he was drafted to play defense and grab rebounds. not much offensive game, but he is athletic and gets above the rim
Damn hearing Stuart Scotts voice brought tears to my eyes
and top picks 2011 for now :
1. kahwi leonard - rings + 2 times dpoty + all star + usa teams + mvp 2017 finalist
2. kyrie irving - rings + all star + usa team
3. klay thompson - 2 rings in 3 final + all star + usa team + 2nd best shooter and 3pt in 4 years under steph curry
4. isiah thomas - all star - usa team - lead celtics as highest point scored
5. buttler - all star - usa team
Damn if Cavs drafted klay or kawhi after drafting kyrie, whole nba history would have been changed lol
And Giannis
Enes Kanter is actually pretty damn good and you'll see that more this year when he's starting.
@johnDomain lol
No
Kanter is the softest center ever
Fans reaction when jazz pick Ernest later with mixed cheers a bit of happy cheers and lot of unhappy sound.... How come he's pick before Klay Thompson
Is that Serge Ibaka at 5:10
Wilkens Napoleon Saintil yes, his fellow conganese mate got drafted
I Miss 2011 So Much.
2011 so stacked, something must have went right the last few years before 2011 for basketball
this draft class is so stacked
I've never fully understood how the NBA draft & contracting system works. How much do each of these draft players get paid? And how long are they contracted for with the club that selected them?
Don't ask.
@TheNextNoelGallagher how is that a bad sign?
i want to know the picks are from Colleges of USA or all around the world
Top five Kyrie, kawhi Leonard, klay Thompson, Jonas valanciunas, kemba walker
Did the Lakers draft?
Kanter was best player and best human in draft , a true hero
What we know now: top 10
1. Kawhi Leonard
2. Kyrie Irving
3. Klay Thompson
4. Jimmy Butler
5. Isaiah Thomas
6. Kemba Walker
7. Nikola Vucevic
8. Tristan Thompson
9. Reggie Jackson
10. Tobias Harris
UNCLE DREW! haha. Love Kyrie. Good pick for Cleveland.
Aged like wine
@@asymbolofpurehatred hes good bro
I have too say after 2 yrs I love Kyrie and im very impressed with Tristan Thompson
I have too say too that after 11 yrs I love Klay and im very impressed with Penis Kanter
@mylesusa i know kyrie is from melbourne. but kemba??!?
Derrick Williams is actually playing well recently.
Still not like a #2 pick
and now he's not on any NBA team.
2020 check but he isn't doing the best right now
who the hell is Jan Vesely
isaiah Thomas was a Huge steal for the Kings
Kemba was a huge steal
Who would you take now kyrie or kawhi
kyrie because lebron would need a pg
+Ahmad Yaqoob they knew king would return lol
Kawhi any day
+David C. nah
kawhi of course nothing against kyrie but kawhi is something else
you forgot faried, kawhi leonard, kemba. a lot.
This batch is amazing all of them are Starplayer
Who tf is Derrick Williams?
Who tf is John Vesley?
So far as of 2015.. 3 of the top 7 are draft busts, 3 are developing, and 1 is a franchise star.
Biyombo is not a bust. Best backup defensive big in the league. He always plays well when he gets minutes.
Plays well*
+Guga not biyombo but kanter
+Guga 7 months later and you were more right now than you were than, nice.
What if Cleveland selected klay or kawhi at number 5
wow
I mean 4
Or jimmy g buckets
imagine if cle took Drummond or green even Lillard in the 2012 draft and maybe klay in the 2011 draft. starting 5 kyrie klay LeBron love and Drummond or green.
Carlos Arreguin he wasn't drafted in that year I think it was 2009
Should of went
1.Kyrie Irving
2.Jonas Valanciunas
3.Klay Thompson
4.Nicola Vucevic
5.Kawhi Leonard
6.Chandler Parsons
7.Enes Kanter
8.Kemba Walker
9.Kenneth Faried
10.Jimmy Butler
11.Markief Morris
12.Tobias Harris
13.Tristan Thompson
14.Iman Schumpert
15.Alec Burks
Utah with Klay would be nice, but Kanter is going to be big time.
no isaiah thomas he should have been the 2nd
False again 😂
Kawhi 1 Kyrie 2 Klay 3 Jimmy 4 Kemba 5
God the JV dickriders were so outta control😂
Why did all these team past on the obvious choice in KAwai Leonard, he had one of the biggest upside and looks to be a future all star and nba champ.
@InkredibleGuy601 how so?
If they redrafted knowing how good these players would become
#1 Cavaliers: Kawhi Leonard
#2 Timberwolves: Kyrie Irving
#3 Jazz: Klay Thompson
#4: Cavaliers: Kemba Walker
#5: Raptors: Jimmy Butler
#6: Wizards: Tobias Harris
#7: Kings: Marcus Morris
@MrHedo15 Bargniani or how ever you spell it is not a bust, he puts up over 20 ppg
why didn't the kings pick jimmer in the first place, why do a trade with the bucks
Can someone explain me, why the Cavs selected No1 AND No4?? How is that even possible???
You can trade draft picks
Δημούληζ Γαλατερός It's highly unlikely, they had their pick and the clippers pick for the baron davis trade, the clippers had the 8th worst record and actually won the lottery. The cavs had the 2nd worst i think and they slid down to 4th.
bismack is actually good. he is a damn good defender, and he can rebound
😂😂😂
Jimmy Butler was a Great Pick & the Best Ever #30 in the First Round.
yup now he a heat member and led dem to the finals 💯
Kyrie and Thompson are doing the best from the top 8 picks right now. Amazing draft choices on the cavaliers part
I'm sure that Valanciunas will be a mega-star in nba ! 1st pick is amazing too, to sum up i dont think that this year drafts are so bad as everyone thinks...
LOL
@@thegoat1373 Jonas is big today
@@PussyOfBotas even bigger now that pelicans realised his potential as a scorer and not only an insane rebounder and defender
After last nights game against Denver, they do.
Sırf Vesely için açıp izledim iyi ki varsın VESELY 💛💙
What about Klay Thompson, Faried, Shumpert, Brooks, Leonard, Thomas, Parsons, Kemba, and Brandon Knight? They're not too shabby:)
i forgot how bad Cleveland was before LeBron came back lol😂😂
@shonoo9999 If you think about it, The 1st pick was actually the Clippers pick. If the Clippers didnt trade Baron Davis and a 1st round pick to Cleveland then they would have taken Kyrie and wont have CP3
this is actually a top 5 best class for me
there isn't that legend type player but it's so stacked with stars
Actually there is legendary type players, Kyrie Irving , Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, there’s not a better draft class in the 2010s decade then this one
Jan Vesely was such a bust
+SammVx \-_-\ I knew he'd be a bust from the moment he kissed his woman.
+Matt Strama Biyombo isn't a bust
+Matt Strama biyombos average.
+Ashok Mishra he shown potential but he is an average player
+Connor Murphy lolno
This draft class is easily top 3 of the 2010s but the order they drafted oh my god it’s hard to look at lmao, so many all stars drafted late by teams who would be DYNASTIES RN if they had drafted right, smh
Now in Germany and Turkey
So many foreign players in the top ten. Its great.
I wonder if evey teams have the knicks fans how many people will clapped instead of booing
why Kanter seems not happy??
Wanna let like 5 years go by before you make statements like that?
Raptors Draft Good Players 🇨🇦💪
@KDurantly that is somewhat true but still he is the raptors star player
Completely forgot enes kanter was 3rd pick lol
And Jonas won at every age along with MVP honors.
@lockedone1997 if you enter the NBA Draft, you are fair to any of the teams
yes. They are both from Congo
The real bust of this draft is Enes kanter. Derrick Willams is actually a very solid player.
EDRT5Y124 lol no at lease enes is a starter I believe.Wtf has Derek Williams done?
lol someone explain to me how this is a top comment.. "john wall is a true pg and Irving is a scoring pg"? Obviously you don't know what you're talking about, and probably have never seen how well Kyrie can control a game and control the offense.
Just including superstars, highlight of this draft was Irving Leonard butler klay thompson faried.
kawi leanord went 15th to the pacers
Isaiah thomas?
2003 best draft since 1986
Name: Kyrie Irving
Team: Cleveland Cavaliers
Jersey Number: 2
Year: 2011
Draft: 1st Pick
And That's It
don't forget Chandler Parsons at 38
its his first year and hes coming off injury, i guess you didnt see glimpses of him dominating dwight howard the other night huh?
@GreatestCaws but the defense and rebounds scared me.
Bismack is the MAN!
4:34 - LOL, Czech flag is upside down :)
say again?
correction: BisBlock Biyombo
Enes Kanter isn't a bust. He's pretty good. He was just put in a terrible position.
Many great draft picks are, so we never see their true potential. Teammates can hurt your progress when they’re selfish.
why we pick Tristan smh
Cavs shoulda took derrick William at #1 Tristan was perfect at #4 and Anthony Benet #1 the following year was a really nice pick.. I pray they pick liangelo ball with that Brooklyn pick.. go Cavs!!
Anthony Bennett was NOT a good pick
Wow 6 of these 7 players are foreign born, shows how the talent is being spread world wide. I think that's good for the game.
One thing about humans beings is when we find passion and love for something we perfect it !
The NBA Draft 2011 had the best European players.
As a raptors fan we should have drafted Kawhi at 5 he even tried out with but still got a good player.
wished wizards made a run at Klay Thompson as opposed to Vesely
Just imagine if the Cavs took Klay Thompson, Isaiah Thomas, or Kawhi
lets be honest
the only reason these players have been good is because of the picks they were , if kawhi was selected first , the story line would be completely different and kawhi would have been a bust
Imagine raptors drafted kwahi Leonard with demar derozan easily dynasty plus siakam in 2016
11 games??? damn he musta been a monster highschool baller cause wow only 11 haha how was he number 1????
they have kobe do they really need to draft
So far the Cavs took the best PG-PF team in the draft.
top 5 should’ve been kyrie, klay, kawhi, kemba and jimmy butler
Keneth Faried, Isiah Thomas
His name isn't Jonas Valaciunas, his name is Nick Brown.
2K12 fail.
Lol gotta love the people that were chanting "Raptors Suck" when they called Valanciunas up..
i think your pickinh your thoughts
TheKidSantos they're chanting "Lietuva".
Don't forget Jimmy Butler
