Looking back it’s kind of crazy that only 3 of these guys are still starting caliber nba players in their prime

I’ve said it on other posts before, and I’ll say it again: Philadelphia’s mishandling of all their draft picks is hilarious and shameful at the same time. The year before they could have drafted Porzingis or Devin Booker, and took Jahlil (sp?) Okafor. It’s also been pointed out that it was nearly unanimous that Simmons and Fultz should go 1st, so they shouldn’t be faulted for it. And that’s true. But I do feel like there was some kind of basketball karma that they earned from “The Process “. Philadelphia, may you never make it out of the second round again.

Damn I always forget that even the number 4 pick was the Suns back to back too

I’m in shock Josh Jackson scored more career points than Lonzo and Markelle.

I hope the Celtics sent Ainge a ring for this championship TBH

Josh Jackson having almost 3300 points is the most surprising part of this graphic for me.

Man it’s so hard to believe Simmons was a 3x all-star, with how his career has gone. Not based on his talent.

The jays are only ones on that graphic that are still with the team that drafted them. 2 of them are already out of the league with one soon to follow. (See u in China, Ben Simmons)

Kinda crazy the same 4 teams had the top 4 spots in order back to back years
