    Since 2000 the 11th overall pick is filled with a who’s who? of NBA talent

    Some good players for sure, but WAY more nobodies

    For sure, I didn't know if people would take this as depressing that we don't have the ~1 in 5 chance at drafting a player that would actually have an impact or they would be cheered up by the fact that only one out of five guys that get drafted at that spot are even recognizable names.
