The 2001
NBA Draft
took place on June 27, 2001 in New York City, New York. Kwame Brown
became the first high school player drafted with the first overall pick. Brown's selection by the Washington Wizards over players that have gone on to have more successful NBA careers has been a source of great criticism, with Brown having been widely labeled one of the worst draft busts in NBA history. This draft is widely regarded as a good one for international players; Pau Gasol
(Spain), Tony Parker
(France) and Mehmet Okur
(Turkey) would all go on to become NBA All-Stars. This was the last draft the Vancouver Grizzlies
participated in while in their original city; their move to Memphis was finalized several weeks later.
Minnesota Timberwolves
forfeited their first-round pick due to salary cap
