The Top of the Draft: 1999-2000

[42PhD]

1. Baron Davis. Drafted by Grizzlies, traded to 76'ers after 2 seasons. No titles.

2. Elton Brand. Drafted by Raptors. 1 title.

3. Shawn Marion. Drafted by Grizzlies. No titles.

4. Steve Francis. Drafted by Celtics. No titles.

5. Andrei Kirilenko. Drafted by Lakers, traded to Jazz after 3.5 seasons. 1 title with Lakers.

Our 2 title winners in this class were on rookie scale contracts, and both played reasonable minutes. Brand was one of the best players on his team, though to be fair to AK, he was a true rookie in the title run.
