2000 NBA draft

It was the last draft held at the home arena of an NBA team until 2011; the following and subsequent drafts (through 2010) all took place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City (though Madison Square Garden itself is the home of the New York Knicks, they do not play in the theater).

Both of the players drafted by the San Antonio Spurs (Chris Carrawell and Cory Hightower) are among this group.
