1974 NBA Draft

The 1974 NBA Draft produced two current ESPN commentators (Bill Walton and Len Elmore). Walton went on to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to the 1976-77 NBA Championship title, along with Maurice Lucas (another 1974 first-round NBA draft-pick), and did the same with the Boston Celtics in 1985-86. Another first-rounder, Brian Winters is currently the head coach of the WNBA's Indiana Fever.
