- Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks) – L.A. Clippers. Original selection: Michael Olowokandi. (Nowitzki drafted 9th by Dallas) Oozing with potential, no one was sure how high Nowitzki’s ceiling was entering the draft, though the gangly teenager was full of potential.
- Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics) – Vancouver Grizzlies. Original selection: Mike Bibby. (Pierce drafted 10th by Boston) Pierce has become the definitive persona of the Celtics franchise for the past decade, a role that the California native surely wouldn’t have envisioned coming into the league.
- Vince Carter (Dallas Mavericks) – Denver Nuggets. Original selection: Raef LaFrentz. (Carter drafted 5th by Golden State) Traded on draft day by the Golden State Warriors to the Toronto Raptors, Vince Carter entered the league with a bang.
- Antawn Jamison (L.A. Lakers) – Toronto Raptors. Original selection: Antawn Jamison. (Jamison drafted 4th by Toronto) As mentioned above, Jamison was traded for Carter on draft day and very well could have ended up as Toronto’s first franchise icon.
