I suppose it would be Jeff Hornacek of the Utah Jazz Phoenix Suns,

Come on Lisk, you are better than this.

I feel like the whole VC/AI/Marbury/TMac era has been erased from history, easier to do when you don’t win.

Eddie Griffin

The masturbator.

Carter

I really thought he and Jason Williams would be the best in that class for years to come….there was no indication in the early years that Dirk or Pierce would succeed to this extent.

2000 was worse. At least ’01 had Pau Gasol and some good finds later on in the 1st (Tony Parker, Zach Randolph). 2000 had Kenyon Martin, a bunch of 6th men of the year types (Jamal Crawford & Mike Miller), and a lot of crap.

Yup, you can’t forget Marcus Fizer who Jerry Krause drafted because he played for Tim Floyd at Iowa State. Jerry didn’t do so hot after Michael left.

The 2001 class actually produced more All-Stars than did 98, but 98 also had two guaranteed HOFers (Dirk, Pierce)

The top 10 in ’98 was stronger. Dirk, Pierce, Carter, Jamison, Bibby, White Chocolate. The ’01 had some good finds later on.

Look at the Kandi’s man draft class compared to Kwame’s. That ’98 class was pretty stacked.

The 2001 class actually produced more All-Stars than did 98, but 98 also had two guaranteed HOFers (Dirk, Pierce) with a third potential HOF who pissed his own career away (Carter). 2001 has maybe two HOF players (Gasol, Parker), but that might be a stretch.

/ are Parker/Gasol HOFers?

worst draft in recent years

It was when Kobe/McGrady/Jermaine O’Neal/KG were doing great, so like NBA GMs usually do, they took the notion of drafting HS players to excessive levels. Eddy freaking Curry went #4.

I really thought that Rodney White would pan out though.

even when they’re horrible they stay in the league long enough b/c there’s a big man shortage.

Except Nikola Tskitchzizikzizjizjvilli

Worst NBA #1 pick of the last 30 years

Candy Man, although Oden is almost a lock to take that title. Pervis could certainly be added to the #1 bust list as well.

Worst NBA #1 pick of the last 30 years – Kwame or Olowokandi?

Kandi. I only remember him for being dunked on by Amare and for being terrible on that 04 Wolves team that made it to the WCF.

Kwame has had a decent NBA career. He still sucks balls, but atleast he can play defense and rebound (sometimes).
