NBA draft

Carmelo Anthony is the only player selected in the top five of the 2003 NBA draft without a championship, but could get his best chance next season.

Jalen Green, Jalen Suggs, and Evan Mobley will be top picks in the 2021 NBA draft but they also have something else in common. The three stars signed deals to endorse Adidas. They join other athletes representing the brand like James Harden, Damian Lillard, Trae Young, Candace Parker, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, and Lionel Messi.

The 2021 NBA draft has players from well-known colleges and international locales, but this year also brings prospects from G League Ignite. This year’s squad featured four top prospects in Jalen Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Daishen Nix, and Isiah Todd. Next year’s team should be even more loaded as more prospects go this route.

Jalen Suggs tells NBA teams that they will regret passing on him because he is a proven winner at the highest-levels of basketball. Despite this warning, Suggs is a top five draft pick and not a top three section. The 2021 NBA draft is deep and features four tiers of player atop the first round.

Cade Cunningham is a -10000 favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA draft.

Jalen Green will almost certainly become a Houston Rocket during the 2021 NBA draft, but he'd like to go at another pick if he had his way. Green is intent on going No. 1 and is lobbying for the spot. However, most experts believe the Detroit Pistons will take Cade Cunningham with the top pick.

Only five top-five NBA draft picks selected in 2008 or later have won an NBA championship and all five were teammates of LeBron James.

Since the first NBA draft in 1947, only 10 No. 1 overall picks have won a championship with the team that drafted them.

Fran Vázquez will forever be a mystery to fans of the Orlando Magic, who drafted him 11th overall in 2005. Vázquez never played in the NBA and retired in 2020 after a 19-year professional career in Spain.
