Next, Antawn Jamison was selected fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors in the 1998 NBA Draft. But the forward was then traded to the Warriors for Vince Carter and cash.

Jamison played his first five seasons with Golden State and the 2003-04 season with the Dallas Mavericks. Then, the wing went on to play his next six seasons (2004–10) with the Wizards.

Additionally, the UNC product spent 16 years in the NBA. In 421 career games with Washington, Jamison averaged 20.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. He earned both of his career All-Star selections with the Wizards.

Jamison currently serves as director of pro personnel for the Wizards.

Moreover, the Miami Heat picked Caron Butler at No. 10 in the 2002 NBA Draft. The former UConn forward played his first two professional seasons with the Heat. However, Miami then traded Butler to the Lakers during the 2004 offseason.

The forward spent five seasons (2005–10) with the Wizards. Through 310 career games as a Wizard, the forward averaged 19 points, 6.6 boards, 3.5 assists, and 1.8 steals.

Similar to Jamison, Butler earned both of his All-Star selections with Washington. In 2018, he retired after a 14-year career. Now, the Wisconsin native serves as an assistant coach for the Heat.
