When you think of recent stacked draft classes, the 2018 NBA Draft comes to mind.
Several all-stars and soon-to-be all-time greats were in that class, yet they all have one bizarre thing in common after Jaren Jackson Jr. was traded on Tuesday.
Every 2018 NBA Draft lottery pick has now been traded, after Jaren Jackson Jr. trade
Even though the 2018 NBA Draft had players like Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Trae Young, all 14 lottery picks have been traded in one way, shape, or form over the last eight years.
Some transactions took place on draft night, while others happened for their own interesting reasons, even at times when players were playing at an all-star level.

Here are some of the notable transactions that have taken place with big names:
Doncic was traded on draft night, but we all think of the recent trade to the Lakers as the more memorable one that was even more shocking.
SGA was traded on draft night, but the Clippers decided to give him up in a trade for Paul George, which ultimately didn't lead to much outside of their WCF run in the 2021 playoffs.
Young had a similar situation to Doncic, as they were traded for each other on draft night, but Young was also traded to the Wizards this season, after asking out of Atlanta.
Mikal Bridges was also traded on draft night, but the Knicks made a bold move to aquire the Nets' forward a couple of years ago.
This past offseason, Michael Porter Jr. was traded to the Nets from the Nuggets, as Denver brought in Cam Johnson to switch things up.
