Stars: Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Stephon Marbury
Key Role Players: Marcus Camby, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Jermaine O’Neal, Derek Fisher, Peja Stojakovic
The 1996 Draft takes the top spot in our draft rankings because the combination of star power and role player impact is unmatched. Kobe Bryant is arguably a top-five NBA player of all time, and players like Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, and Steve Nash are some of the best guards to ever play the game. You combine this with the presence of role players like Peja Stojakovic, who was a stellar scorer, and Derek Fisher, who hit some of the biggest shots in NBA history, this draft reigns supreme above all.
