Grading Draft Classes since 2000
2000 NBA Draft
This was a terrible draft, possibly the worst of this century so far. The only notable players from this class are Kenyon Martin, DeShawn Stevensen, Michael Redd and Mike Miller. This class was bad..
Grade - D-

2001 NBA Draft
This draft was pretty solid, including allstars like Pau Gasol, Tyson Chandler, Zach Randolph, Tony Parker and Gilbert Arenas and Gerald Wallace alongside great role players like Jason Richardson and Shane Battier. Not a bad draft.

2002 NBA Draft
This class contained 4 allstars, Yao Ming, Amar’e Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer and Caron Butler. Tayshawn Prince was also in this draft but it doesnt matter, this class was trash.

2003 NBA Draft
One of the greatest in NBA history. This class contained superstars like LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. More allstars in this draft are Kyle Korver, David West and Mo Williams, the quality from top-bottom is crazy.
Grade - A++

2006 NBA Draft
This was another class that injuries really ruined. Brandon Roy and Rajon Rondo are both players who had primes cut short due to injuries. Either way, LMA, Paul Millsap, Kyle Lowry and Rudy Gay result in a solid class.
Grade - C+

2007 NBA Draft
The infamous Greg Oden draft. Aside from that though, this year was pretty solid. Kevin Durant was the superstar of the draft, with other guys like Al Horford, Marc Gasol, Joakim Noah and Mike Conley beside him.

2010 NBA Draft
Known as the most cursed class ever. John Wall, Gordon Hayward, Demarcus Cousins and Paul George all sustained major injuries. But considering the fact that those players were the only standouts from this class, not too great.
Grade - B-

2013 NBA Draft
Draft looked terrible at first, but honestly mot bad. Class contains 2x MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo with players like Rudy Gobert, CJ McCollum and Victor Oladipo in it. Not a very good draft but not as bad as we looked at it in 2013

2014 NBA Draft
We expected this class to be way better than it was. Wiggins and Jabari were supposed to be hall of famers
but the 2 best from this class are easily Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic. This year also had many great role players like Dinwiddie and Schroder

2015 NBA Draft
The best 3 from this class were Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis and Devin Booker and D’Angelo Russell. Because of those 4 with the solid depth of this class with guys like Myles Turner, Kelly Oubre, Harrell and Josh Richardson, solid

2016 NBA Draft
Malcolm Brogdon won ROTY this year. And you may think that’s an indicator of how bad this class was, but Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown and Pascal Siakam were in this class too, 3 being allstars and 1 being a future allstar. Not bad at all.
