NBA Draft Thread - Flagg Day

[bthaunert]

Here is another fun trivia question as we wait for round 2. Since 1985, there have been 7 guys drafted #1 overall who did not average 10 or more ppg in their NBA career. Who are they?

I believe Worthy did it between the 2 of them.

Left that out. Thanks.

Do you mean at any point or career average? Because Pervis Ellison had an average of 10 or so but had a big year.

PPG career average

PPG career average

Well Pervis for sure.

Kwame Brown and Anthony Bennett are two. I could probably think of more but those are obvious.

I've got a couple more in mind but don't want to Google them to doublecheck.

I keep thinking Thabeet but he wasn't first just way over rated.

 

[ManitouDan]

Arky have any draftees's ??

 

[The_Catfather]

I keep thinking Thabeet but he wasn't first just way over rated.

One was a big man close to Thabeet's draft class. Another is a big man who had some pretty good seasons but lingered around long enough to drop his career average below 10 ppg. Only one of the players is still active.

I couldn't think of anyone else so looked it up out of curiosity. Good question @bthaunert

 

[bthaunert]

So far:

Anthony Bennett
Pervis Ellison
Kwame Brown

 

[Titpwhami2014]

I’ll take a stab…Greg Oden?

 

[DraftCat]

Can't believe how far this program has fallen.... 2nd round draft picks you kidding me?!

These are fun.

We need a pinned trivia thread.

That’s correct.

Hint - 1 is still active

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Fultz

Man they are horrible.

 

[The_Catfather]

Never thought I'd see the day a draft pick repped the Rolling Stones tongue logo on the back of his shirt. I'm a Kam Jones fan now.

 

[DraftCat]

Wonder who goes first - Brea, Jaxson, Amari or Butler.

My guess is Brea surprised no one is taking a shot on his 3 and D potential .

 

[The_Catfather]

Brea to Phoenix. Joins Booker and their other 7 shooting guards.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Brea to Phoenix. Joins Booker and their other 7 shooting guards.

Yeah, doesn't seem like the best landing spot for much playing time. Maybe he will get some time though.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Congrats to Brea 🔥🔥🔥

 

[DraftCat]

Pretty sure it's the Warriors it was part of a trade.

Good fit!

 

[OneSpeedyBoi96]

Great to see Brea drafted. Hope he'll have a good, lengthy career. Will miss him in a Wildcats jersey knocking it down from deep!

 

[The_Catfather]

Pretty sure it's the Warriors it was part of a trade.

Good fit!

Warriors pick was dealt to Phoenix. I don't know why they can't give them the correct hats when there's a trade.

 

[AJG-15]

Well deserved. Congrats Brea and Coach Pope!

 

[hotelblue]

not surprised about brea. he ended the year as one of our most reliable and efficient players. when featured, he can score. we all knew this. his mid range game, in several games to end the year, looked legit. made you wonder where it was all year. in any case, he’s stretching the defense.

congrats to him
and the coaching staff.

 

[The_Catfather]

Amari Williams to Boston!

 

[DraftCat]

Yuck hate that for Amari now I gotta root against him.

Congrats on being selected don't stay in Boston too long!

 

[AJG-15]

Amari Williams to Boston!

Congrats Amari and Coach Pope! Well done mate!

 

[The_Catfather]

Yuck hate that for Amari now I gotta root against him.

Congrats on being selected don't stay in Boston too long!

Sorta wish Orlando would've kept the pick. They're a darkhorse in the East next year with Tatum and Haliburton out. Williams would've fit their defensive identity well.

 

[PopesReignOverCardinals]

Boston might be the best possible scenario for Amari. Their starting center is Luke Kornet and Al Horford is 39-years old. Amari could potentially be starting in Boston next season.

 

[AJG-15]

Markovic from the same Serbian team that produced Jokic and our new recruit Jelavic got selected. I think we got a good player in Jelavic.

How so?

 

[the nail at the foul line]

How so?

Need personality.

Reminds me of sitting next to Cardinals fan in St Louis that knew the ERA and batting average for every player in St Louis history and was compelled to tell me. I didn't care.

St. Louis is the greatest baseball city in America. The Cardinals are a MLB Blue Blood.
