The
1999 NBA Draft was held on June 30, 1999 at the
MCI Center (now Verizon Center) in
Washington, D.C. It was the first draft in which four players from the same college were picked in the first round, with
Elton Brand (1st selection),
Trajan Langdon (11th),
Corey Maggette (13th) and
William Avery (14th) being selected out of
Duke University. It is widely viewed as one of the best draft classes, with a total of nine future
NBA All-Stars being chosen, as well as three winners of the
NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award—
Manu Ginóbili,
Jason Terry, and
Lamar Odom. Undrafted
Pablo Prigioni made his NBA debut at
2012/2013 season as the oldest rookie in league history, at age 35.
