  • The 2000 NBA Draft was held on June 28, 2000 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was the last draft held at the home arena of an NBA team until 2011; the following and subsequent drafts all took place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It is considered to be at least the worst draft in the lottery era, if not the worst in league history. To date, only top pick Kenyon Martin, first-rounder Jamaal Magloire, and second-rounder Michael Redd have played in the NBA All-Star Game; only one player has made an All-NBA Team; only three players in the draft class have won a major end-of-season award; and few first-rounders have enjoyed extended careers in the NBA. Sports Illustrated named this entire draft class the 6th biggest bust of the modern era - making it the only draft class among the site's top 20 list. Just before the 2009 draft, ESPN.com columnist David Schoenfield wrote a piece in which he rated all of the drafts since the institution of the draft lottery in 1985, and the only draft which he gave the lowest possible grade of "F" was the 2000 draft.
