   Sam Bowie- Picked 2nd in 1984, ahead of Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley
   Kwame Brown- Picked 1st in 2001 ahead of Pau Gasol, Joe Johnson, and Tony Parker
   Darko Milicic- Picked 2nd in 2003 ahead of Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh
   Michael Olowokandi- Picked 1st in 1998 ahead of Vince Carter, Paul Pierce, and Dirk Nowitzki

   In no specific order, Sam Bowie, Darko Millicic, Kwame Brown (he’s NOT a #1 draft pick, even if he does have some talent), that Olowankadi guy, and (I’m gonna be bitched on for this) Yao Ming. The reason why I think Yao Ming is a bust is because there were so many other options! Amare, Carlos Boozer, and Caron Butler were all up for grabs! Yao is okay, but the Rockets really missed out.

   Sam Bowie #2 (Ahead of Michael Jordan)
   Len Bias #2 (Died 48 hours after drafted from cocaine use)
   Chris Washburn #3 (Kicked out of league in third year for drug use and averaged about 3 ppg in his career)
   Kwame Brown #1 (Duh.)
   Kent Benson #1 (Spent a career on the most finely polished benches in the NBA)

   The top two have to be Kwame Brown #1 in 2001 and Darko Milicic #2 in 2003.
   Darko Milicic was picked before Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony.

    Sam Bowie, was picked ahead of Jordan
    Shawn Bradley
    Chris Webber, I expected more from him, that is why he is a bust, I expected him to be a leader of a team and contend like a Shaq or Michael or Larry or Magic; not a journey man
