2011 NBA Draft Notes

Kyrie Irving: Cleveland selected Irving first overall after he played just 11 games during his freshman season at Duke. The Cavaliers also owned the fourth selection and used it on Texas forward Tristan Thompson.

Kawhi Leonard: Leonard was selected 15th overall by Indiana before his draft rights were traded to the San Antonio Spurs. He developed into one of the most accomplished players from the class, winning multiple NBA championships and NBA Finals MVP awards.

Golden State connection: The Warriors selected Klay Thompson 11th overall. Thompson became a major part of Golden State's championship core and one of the most prolific three-point shooters of his generation.

Late first-round value: Chicago selected Jimmy Butler with the 30th and final pick of the first round. Butler eventually became a multiple-time NBA All-Star and one of the most productive players from the entire draft class.

Mr. Irrelevant: Isaiah Thomas was the final player selected in the draft, going 60th overall to Sacramento. Despite his draft position, Thomas became an NBA All-Star and developed into one of the most successful final picks in NBA Draft history.

International class: The draft included a substantial international group led by Jonas Valančiūnas, Bismack Biyombo, Donatas Motiejūnas, Nikola Mirotić, Bojan Bogdanović, Dāvis Bertāns and Ádám Hanga.
