The NBA Draft might be the most important day on every team’s calendar.
Splashy signings and trades dominate the discourse around NBA teams during the summer. But it's their ability to draft, develop and coach young talent that is far more predictive about their long term success.
Bryan Graham explains, Philippe Fenner illustrates.

That Jimmy Butler photo will always make me laugh
came here to comment the same thing lmao
I can't wait to see what he does this year after what Pat Riley said to him. Hope he doesn't disappoint.
Any channel who consistently uses Jimmy Butler’s media day pics is atleast worth a subscribe
LIES
Technically the Seattle Supersonics drafted Durant and Westbrook before Clay Bennett stole the Supersonics.
They were sold by the westbrook drafted but yeah
OKC drafted Westbrook
@@suleimanmustafa1473nah the sonics did go check
Seattle drafted Westbrook, because they didn’t get stolen to OKC until the week after the 08 draft
What’s also interesting is that the draft + salary cap model is meant to increase parity, but if anything it almost doubles down the effects of having good organisational structure. Some of the best run organisations seemingly find a way to remain relevant, even if there go through a down period. Miami, OKC, Boston are generally always good. Hornets, pistons, kings (sans last couple years) have always been pretty bad
Yeah but it still allows teams like Minnesota or Milwaukee to at least have an opportunity to develop good environments. Otherwise those small market franchises would have very little reason for any player to sign with them in the first place.
i love tifo never stop
i love tifo, always nice to see them expanding into different sports
The Seattle Sonics drafted Durant and Westbrook, not OKC. The owner then moved the team from Seattle which is about the 10th largest metro market in the US to Oklahoma City the 27th.
Sonics fan here, why can’t we have our team back? 😭
@@AlBunch54they should just have a separate team. The Thunder are a good franchise right now
Same team
Same damn franchise
@@AlBunch54yeah. You deserve them back. Honestly let the Thunder history be Thunder history and give the Sonics back to Seattle.
As a Heat fan, I hope we keep some draft picks and pick more “talented” guys, so our development team can turn them into superstars.
if NBA will adopt a European football style of scouting young talents. we might be seeing the top young talents playing only on teams that can pay more
how do you edit these? its fire
30 seconds in, I’m going to make a wild guess that this video will not acknowledge Basketball outside the US.
Do other leagues outside the U.S. have a draft or do an academy system ?
well its on the name of the video "nba draft" have some common sense
Keep Nba content coming pleeeeeeeeesssssseeeeeeee ❤
Intresting Market research!
it baffels me how little blame fans give organizations when they mess up draft piks and set the team back for years really only the knicks fans held phil jackson accountable other teams just let these gms of the hook like vlade still showing up for kings games even though he messed them up taking bagley over luka which will set them back for years now
I cannot and will not get used to Tifo videos not narrated by Joe Devine
I’m just waiting on him to bring up joker😂
Seattle drafted Durant and Westbrook, not OKC
Same franchise
OKC owns the rights to Seattle's history and technically same franchise as the franchise was bought and relocated to OKC.

How is them zion and Ja Morant draft picks coming along?
20 to 30 a million per year now is nearly a starting player not top player. superstars on 45 to 60+ now
The bucks drafted giannis traded for khris very early warriors drafted curry klay green nuggets drafted jokic murray porter jr celtics drafted tatum brown...anyone who thinks drafting doesn't matter are idiots....even the lakers drafted kuzma...
I think with the amount of player movement in the league now days people speculate that the draft is less important because it's harder to retain players. But I think it manly just means organisations have to give players more reasons to stay with good coaching, good players and facilities. I think it's proven that players tend to be much more loyal than teams do, and theres lots of players that stay on bad teams that make bad decisions for too long.
why does soccer/football not do drafts?
Because football is a monopoly where a few big teams win and the rest exist to not be relegated
How many dirk silhouettes do yall have
don't watch basketball but first
First
it also should be illegal. Imagine being a young person - one of the best in your respective field - and told you have no choice but to go work in a city you would never live in otherwise. And you have no choice. Or recourse. There is a MUCH better way to do this that would be equally entertaining and retain the goal of equity for the teams, while also (finally) giving the players some agency in their own futures.
I mean... You can always pull a Charles Barkley or a Stephen Curry and let teams know you don't want to get drafted by them.... They have interviews and workouts by certain teams beforehand. It's very rare that someone is Entitled and Ungrateful to play for any team in the NBA though. At the end of the day... They DO have to sign the contract to actually be on the team 😂 so trust me, they chose to be there.
I hope this doesn't sound facetious but... you say "there is a MUCH better way to do this" so... what is it?
This comment is bogus. No player HAS to play in the NBA. You go get a job and play basketball wherever you want. If you CHOOSE to join the NBA then you shall follow by their rules.
@@sandybeachsean6880 got it. so, you are on the side of management versus the workers.
for million of dollars? that's not exploitation, that's a payday
Ah yes the Draft, nothing is more American than a socialist system designed to make the 'poor' teams more competitive.
That's what I thought when they explained what it was, why would they have such a system in place??
@@hotmechanic222 because teams are owned by the billionaire class so they put protections in place for themselves.
@@louisf2654 In the UK and all of Europe there is no draft, each team has academies where they develop young players, usually from the age of about 7 years old or they buy a player from another team, and if your team are in the bottom 3 of your league at the end of the season they are relegated to the next lower league and 3 teams from that league take your place. so if your team is no good they can go from the Premier League one season to the 4th tier league in just a few seasons
@@hotmechanic222
That's why you can win titles in EPL by spending more. US style is miles better than European style
