How is snapping your leg a ankle injury

Outside of the obvious irony that PG and Hayward have had horrible injuries than can end careers and lasted longer than anyone else, it’s also crazy to think back on Boogie and Wall being among the best players in the league and injuries derailing them. That’s the theme for most of the best players from this class unfortunately

Yeah and Paul George and Gordon Hayward still struggle with injuries, but have lasted longer than the other draft class picks

Look at Gortat for example.

Boogies stats were absolutely insane, he was just stuck in a super shitty situation followed by HORRIBLE injuries. Look at the amazing stuff he did off the court, he's a great guy. Truly hope be can make a return.

He got up to like 36% from 3 years before Embiid was doing it. But he also was leading the league in turnover before tearing his Achilles in N.O., but a lot of that was really nitwit coaching. You have Rajon Rondo leading the league in APG, yet regularly run plays with Cousins initiating the offense from the top of the key, turning it over at an insane rate. How damn stupid can you be as a head coach?

I loved avery bradley when he played for the celtics even though he never really got to an all star level. Bradley did not have the size or explosiveness to be a real threat offensively as a 2 guard and he was never really a point guard. But I never questioned his effort,especially defensively, and he got a little bit better each year. He didnt back down when guarding guys who were usually taller and bigger than him. Seemed like he always played hard and took pride in his role on the team

@jodyvance1554

There's been plenty of guys Bradley's size who were 'real threats' offensively. He was just not a pure 2 or 1. But he was a great defender who became a pretty decent perimeter shooter.

John wall made other players better! Made Marcin Gortat look like a solid Center, and helped Otto Porter Jr get a bag that ruined the wizards!

I remember this is one of my favorite draft classes and there was a time the draft’s top talent were just absolutely the most entertaining in the league

Wall and Boogie could make a comeback tho , I wanna see them on the same team

Anybody notice how the Pleacans have many of this draft class on their roster. Man, the Pelicans loved the 2010 draft class.

Insane how uneventful things went for this draft class. Nonetheless, Masterpiece content bro!

If you looked at this draft class back in 2014 it really looked like it would be an all time draft class with extreme talent

Whiteside was a good, motivated player … until he got paid.

2k11 was my first NBA 2k game i played And i remember this class specifically because they were really a problem when making a MyPlayer It sucks so much to see this draft class just be gone in the NBA Wall did amazing but had injuries plague him, same for Cousins Animu and Bradley just couldnt make the cut somehow Sanders was a beast but he got derailed cuz of himself Hayward and Goerge is still here but now they considered as semi stars and overrated to most people 😢😢😢

2010 draft injury derailed year.

Really good undrafted year tho.. Boban, Linsanity, Lance Thomas, Ish Smith, who just won a ring.

Cousins would still be in the league if he didn't accept what was probably a pretty fat paycheck to go play in Puerto Rico. He'd probably have a real ring as well with the Nuggets since Mike Malone loves him some Boogie.

I feel like Lance could still play coaches just don't like his play style i do though he is a crazy x factor if he is on you got a great chance of winning 💯🏀

Avery bradley and Cousins got the ring from 2020 Lakers championship right ?

I had no idea they’re the only 2 left that is wild. So many of these guys had trouble with injuries. I still think Wall can get back in the league tho.

I really did hope cousins to have a hall of fame career

Had Whiteside been drafted at the end of the 1st by OKC or by the Heat his career would have been much different

i have fond memories of these guys destroying my 38ovr in 2k11 draft combine. Sad to see only 2 guys left and only 1 is elite.

Lance playing against LeBron wen he was in Miami that got him his biggest check in his career from hornets

John wall was pretty good so was Demarcus cousins

1 word: injury. So much potential HOF talent, but injury derailed them.

as a heat fan, the Whiteside comment is incorrect. He was not unhappy being traded at that time and even gets memed on for one of his first videos with the new team while slight dissing the heat, "wE gOt sHoOtErS"

You’re telling was only in his 3rd year when he was giving miami problems in the playoff

Trailblazers: where middling talent goes to die.

They gave 12 year old me hell in the draft combine in 2k11

Was this also the lockout year?

Avery “has a receding hairline since 2010” Bradley

Boogie and wall would still be starters if it wasn’t for injuries. Watching them at Kentucky was an honor

gilbert arenas had a bigger impact on the wizards than wall

Lance Stephenson is my favorite player. He should still be on the pacers

I don’t know if too fast or we are just old now

Bradley's ankle injury in half speed looks like it fuckin hurt

And Mark Aguirre still isn't in the Hall, though many lesser players are in.

If you watched some of these players in college you could see this coming

So in summary most of the best prospects either got injured too much or just turned out to be bang average to the point where there is nothing for any org to warrant keeping them. Or they where just mid as fuck.

Considered one of worst drafts in NBA history. If it wasn't for some several players who "barely" made all star appearances but other notable fats, would've been considered worst of all time

"most tragic draft class" yet literally half of the class spent over a decade in the league and you were able to make a 10+ minute long vid talking about just the above average players that lasted a decade. Every body you mentioned in this video, regardless of them leaving the NBA in their early 30s, had better careers then like 90% of all the players in the history of the NBA. This class was the opposite of tragic, even the crazy injuries didn't really affect the careers of players much, Gordon has been on 30 mil a year since his injury and PG became an infinitely better player post leg explosion. All that said, still a great video. That title is atrocious though

what’s up with all these mfs getting traded to the pelicans 😭

Derek Favors had something on the Jazz owner. Idk why they were so loyal him. A guy on his level should’ve been out the league. More talented guys got ousted.

Gotta give it to KD. Kobe, Boogie, Patrick, Wall and a few others had Achilles injuries. They were never the same after that. KD comes back a year later and is nearly as good as he ever was. Rare. Stretch, stretch, stretch. Painful but, gotta do it.
