24. Kenyon Martin
Named the National College Player of the Year as a senior at the University of Cincinnati, Kenyon Martin was the first overall draft pick of the 2000 Draft, where, for the New Jersey Nets, he was the runner-up for the Rookie of the Year Award, losing to Mike Miller. Jason Kidd would join Martin, and they helped reverse the fortunes of the Nets, who would make back-to-back NBA Finals, but his best season was 2003/04, which would also be his last in a New Jersey uniform. He matched his 16.7 Points per Game average of the year before, but averaged 9.5 Rebounds and was chosen for the All-Star Game, the only one he would be selected for.
Martin was traded to the Denver Nuggets after the 2003/04 season, and he played another 11 years.
