Moreover, seven players from this draft, plus Wallace, have been named to at least one All-NBA Team, the most among any draft. The draft class also produced two future Defensive Players of the Year in Wallace (a four-time winner of this award) and Marcus Camby (2007). SLAM Magazine named this the best NBA Draft of all time. HOOP Magazine named it the second-best, behind the 1984 draft, whose highlights included Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and John Stockton. Most experts rate it along with the 1984 NBA Draft and 2003 NBA Draft as one of the best drafts in history.
