2007 NBA Draft
The 2007 NBA Draft was held on June 28, 2007 at the WaMu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York City and was broadcast in the United States on ESPN.
The first 14 picks in the draft belonged to teams that had missed the 2007 NBA Playoffs, with their pick order determined through a lottery held on May 22, 2007. The remaining first-round picks and the second-round picks were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win-loss record in the 2006-07 NBA season.
This draft was quite forward-heavy and included several quality big-men. The 2007 NBA Draft also marked the first time three players drafted in the top 10 came from the same school (Florida), and for the first time five players in the top 10 all played in the NCAA Basketball National Championship Final.
