Probably the most recent one I can think of us Dallas selecting Brunson and Doncic in the same draft.

One draft people never talk about is 1986 for the Cavaliers. In that single draft the Cavs selected Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, Ron Harper and Johnny Newman. All four players ended up being stars or serviceable NBA players.

Ron Harper would average 23/5/5 his rookie season and was a great offensive player for the Cavs and Clippers until injuries made him reinvent his role and he went onto Chicago.

Brad Daugherty would average 16/8/4 his rookie season and would turn into one of the best offensive centers in the league. Sadly his career was cut short due to back injuries and he retires in 1994.

Mark Price didn't get much look his rookie season, but afterwards for the next 8 seasons he would consistently average 16-19 PPG, 7-9 APG and would solidify himself as one of the greatest shooters in the league during his time.

Johnny Newman turned into a solid role player and his career didn't blossom until after he left Cleveland his rookie season. But he consistently for several years would average 11-16 PPG, 2 APG and 2 RPG
