1951 NBA Draft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1951 NBA Draft consisted of 12 rounds with 87 players selected. The first overall pick was Gene Melchiorre, though he would never play a minute in the NBA due to his involvement in a point shaving scandal while in college. Whitey Skoog was selected before the draft as a territorial pick of the Minneapolis Lakers.
