Where are they now? All the players drafted between first-pick Kyrie Irving and last-pick Isaiah Thomas in 2011

The 2011 NBA Draft has proven to be one of the deepest classes in recent memory.

The draft was so deep that 29 teams missed one of the best prospects — Isaiah Thomas.

The Kings took Thomas with the very last pick, No. 60, completely unaware that the diminutive 5-foot-9 guard from Washington would become this generation's Allen Iverson — a spunky, athletic, crafty scorer defenses can't stop.

After stops in Sacramento and Phoenix, Thomas became the star of the Celtics, helping them win the No. 1 seed in the East in 2017. Now, he's been used as the centerpiece for a trade with the first overall pick of the 2011 draft, Kyrie Irving, in a blockbuster deal between the Celtics and Cavaliers.

Here are some of the players drafted before Thomas that NBA teams are probably kicking themselves over today.
