NBA Draft
 < 2000 2002 > 

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.[citation needed] This draft is widely regarded as a good one for international players[citation needed]; 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 violations.[1]
