    http://www.sporcle.com/games/ShakeyDeal/nba-top-10-draft-picks-since-2000

    Got 119/150 before I ran out of time 🙁

    Couple of notes

    -15 minutes to name 150 players

    -If you type in a common last name, the other boxes automatically get filled.

    -I should’ve put in the gimmies first and then tried to remember the busts (ended up missing some superstar players but got everyone in year 2000 lol)

     Is it weird that when I took the quiz I could remember players like Patrick O’Bryant and Nikoloz Tskitishvili quickly, but failed to name guys like Rudy Gay, Amare Stoudemire and Luol Deng? I ended up with 121 and not happy about it.

    Literally spent the last 4 minutes just staring at the 2000 draft class(managed to remember Kenyon Martin went first) trying to remember who even went in that class. Then the time ran out. Then the names filled themselves in and I totally forgive myself for not getting anyone in that class.

     I got 104 couldn’t remember some names my brain got blocked.

    The easy names I missed:

    Gordon Hayward

    DeMar DeRozan

    Rudy Gay

    Bynum

    Iguodala

    Noah

    Typing the last name instead of the whole name helped me a little bit but not much, didn’t give me a huge boost or anything.

     I only got 100 there were a few I could not spell like STAT, Charlie V, Jonas, Jimmer etc. So I was about what everyone else was getting.

    I started doing the loaded draft years, then went from team to team from the top of my head, I only looked at the actual list in the last few minutes.

    Good idea might be if you are doing it team by team, start with someone like the Hornets (Bobcats) as they have had several high picks over the years, Cleveland’s recent picks are easy to get down. Williams will give you at least 3 for one name too.
