Biggest Draft Day Steal (2017-Present): Jarrett Allen
Notable Draft Busts (2017-Present): None
(The biggest draft day steal was between Jarrett Allen and Nic Claxton, with Cam Thomas being third behind them. Since the Nets had never picked in the lottery from 2017 to the present, no one qualified as being a potential draft day bust, although their worst first round draft pick from 2017 to the present so far seems to be Dzanan Musa.)
