The 2012 NBA Draft was a much better class than people remember – with Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, and Andre Drummond all going in the top 10 – as well as great late steals like Draymond Green and Khris Middleton. This is the 2012 NBA draft, 10 years later.

I still think Thomas Robinson could have been good if drafted by a different team
Jokic?
Why are you surprised with the Sacramento Kings?
AD and Dame are way overrated if they made the top 75 list. Especially with AD'S injuries and Dame's lack of success
The best second round pick in NBA history is #Jokic The Joker #MVP #NBA
The 2nd spot in every draft is cursed because teams can't seem to fucking think properly and make the dumbest mistakes a sports fan could make.
I think it's worth noting that Charlotte was actively tanking for AD (23 straight losses in the prior season), but chose MKG at #2 over Beal, Dame etc. and with the 31st pick chose Jeff Taylor over Crowder, Dray, and middleton..
Pretty massive F for a tanking attempt lol
I'd be shocked to see draymond as a hof, he ain't that guy and if it were up to me he'd only be a 2 time all star 🤷♂️
So dame shouldn't go first
Just totally skipped coin toss Ross lol
The best 1st overall pick since lebron is Kyrie not Anthony davis lol Kyrie only played 11 games that says alot
If you had to make a roster out of 2nd round or undrafted players currently in the NBA could you make a title contender? What would be your full roster?
Dame went to a small school in Utah, so a lot of people thought his college game only looked good because of the competition he was playing against. That's kind of understandable to a certain degree – the 2nd best player to ever come out of Weber State was probably Willie Sojourner. There's a reason you likely haven't heard of him. But Lillard was one of those examples that shows how sometimes taking a chance on a small school guy can really work out.

Royce White is a great guy. His story is pretty sad but hes is smart and well thought out
Ah, man, you're nc state? Yuck.
Knowing what we know now, New Orleans would have selected Damian Lillard as the first pick. Anthony Davis is one of the best # 2 options ever (when he is healthy), but not a great # 1 option.
Lillard and the Blazers made it to the playoffs 5 seasons while Davis's New Orleans team made the playoffs only twice.
Davis ended his time there demanding to be traded. Lillard is still with the team that showed faith in him by drafting him number 6. He certainly would still be in New Orleans if they had drafted him first overall.
Why would anyone say that New Orleans would draft Davis again, knowing that's the future? That's crazy.
I think people knew even then Austin Rivers was only a top 5 high school prospect because of who his dad was. He was even able to ride that wave to being a top 10 pick even though at Duke he looked at best like a late first rounder and most of the time like a second rounder.
Ayo why he blushin tho? 😩
Sacramento drafted even worse by then than they do know, that's saying something!
For those who weren't around from the start, Anthony Davis low key had a disappointing career… he was thought of as the next Time Duncan with athleticism and flair. People said Durant should hurry up getting a MVP or else after LeBron it was going to be Anthony Davis all the way. Yes, he's a perennial all-star, and most of his demise has to do with injuries. But still, he kind of disappointed because that's how great he was.
