The 2000 NBA Draft was held on June 28, 2000 in Minneapolis, Minnesota (making it the last draft to be held in a team's arena-the following year's and subsequent drafts have been conducted at the Theater at Madison Square Garden). This draft is considered to be the worst draft since the 1986 NBA Draft because of its small number of all-star players. To date, only top pick Kenyon Martin, first-rounder Jamaal Magloire (19th pick overall), and second-rounder Michael Redd (43rd pick overall) have played in the NBA All-Star Game (each only making the team one time); only one player in the draft class has won a major end-of-season award (Hedo Türkoğlu was named Most Improved Player in 2008); and few first-rounders are currently playing in the NBA. Sports Illustrated named this entire draft class (as opposed to individual players) the 6th biggest "draft bust" of the modern era - making it the only draft class among the site's top 20 list.1

Players in bold have been selected to at least one All-NBA Team.
