2nd Round Starts with History Making

It’s easy to forget about the picks in the 2012 NBA Draft second round after the top 10 picks of the 2012 NBA Draft are called. The first round held history. The first three picks were all freshman and all from the same conference. The first two picks were from the same school. Number one overall won NCAA title and went first overall, which hasn’t been done since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Don’t forget the guys drafted in the 2012 NBA Draft second round are still the cream of the crop in the country. The first round was exciting and has been talked about since the end of the NCAA tournament. This draft is deep and not much talent separation as you continue to move down the list. I can’t even tell you whom I thought the first pick of the 2012 NBA Draft second round would’ve been but after the announcement of the second round, I would say that it isn’t too bad talent wise.
