2000 NBA Draft

The 2000 NBA Draft produced a class that included Kenyon Martin, Mike Miller, Jamal Crawford, Hedo Türkoğlu, Michael Redd, Jamaal Magloire, Quentin Richardson, Morris Peterson, Desmond Mason and several other longtime NBA players.

Martin was the No. 1 selection after a standout career at Cincinnati. Mike Miller became the Rookie of the Year after Orlando selected him fifth, while Michael Redd became one of the biggest steals of the draft after Milwaukee selected him with the 43rd overall pick.

Teams listed below are the teams credited with making each original draft selection. Several players were traded on draft night, including Chris Mihm, Jamal Crawford, Joel Przybilla, Courtney Alexander and Jason Collier.

Kenyon Martin: New Jersey selected Martin first overall after his standout career at Cincinnati. Martin became an NBA All-Star and a major part of the Nets teams that reached consecutive NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003.

Mike Miller: Orlando selected Miller fifth overall out of Florida. He won the 2000-01 NBA Rookie of the Year Award, later earned Sixth Man of the Year honors and won two NBA championships with the Miami Heat.

Jamal Crawford: Cleveland selected Crawford eighth overall out of Michigan and traded his rights to Chicago for the rights to Chris Mihm. Crawford played 20 NBA seasons and became the first player to win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award three times.

Michael Redd: Milwaukee found the biggest bargain of the draft at No. 43. The Ohio State guard developed into an NBA All-Star and one of the league's premier perimeter scorers during his career with the Bucks.

Three All-Stars: The 2000 draft produced three eventual NBA All-Stars: Kenyon Martin, Jamaal Magloire and Michael Redd.

Hedo Türkoğlu: Sacramento selected Türkoğlu 16th overall from Efes Pilsen in Turkey. He became one of the most successful international players in the class and later won the 2007-08 NBA Most Improved Player Award with Orlando.

Draft-night movement: Several first-round picks quickly changed teams. Cleveland selected Jamal Crawford before trading him to Chicago, Chicago selected Chris Mihm before sending him to Cleveland, Houston selected Joel Przybilla before his rights went to Milwaukee, and Milwaukee selected Jason Collier before his rights went to Houston.

Second-round value: Michael Redd at No. 43 was the clear standout of the second round, but Eddie House, Eduardo Nájera, Brian Cardinal and Jason Hart also developed into longtime NBA players. House and Cardinal later won NBA championships.

High school selections: Darius Miles became the highest-selected high school player in the draft when the Clippers took him third overall out of East St. Louis High School. Utah later selected DeShawn Stevenson at No. 23 directly from Washington Union High School in California.

International class: The draft included a growing international presence led by Hedo Türkoğlu, Marko Jarić, Dalibor Bagarić, Jake Tsakalidis, Primož Brezec, Hanno Möttölä and Igor Rakočević, reflecting the NBA's rapidly expanding international talent pool around the turn of the century.
