Biggest Disappointment

[Test]

Yes, Yao is the best Center in the world right now He is one of the best 1st picks ever. joel23, why you say he is worst pick?

It should put Yao Ming on the list.

What!? Joel, Yao is scoring 20+ points, 10+ rebounds, 2+ blocks, and shooting 50%+ on the year. That's awesome, man!

It should put Yao Ming on the list. Obvious of their talents, moves and helping their team. Too close for Olowokandi, Bargani and Bogut.

Those of 4 are tied the worst disappointment no.1 pick NBA draft ever.

Yao Ming
Michael Olowokandi
Andrea Bargani
Andrew Bogut

[Lebron23]

Kwame Brown and Darko Milicic

Kandi man, easily. Kwame is a very good defensive player despite being so inept on the offensive end. Bogut is already a good player and will only get better. Bargs is still all about potential right now. His ceiling is Dirk with better athleticism.

Olowokandi is clearly the worst pick ever.

I agree. In fact, I think most of the other number one NBA draft picks are pretty good. And truthfully, maybe at the time, picking the "Candy Man" was a good decision, because he did have a tremendous amount of potential.

I think Bogut, Bargani, and Brown were all fair picks. Bogut and Bargani are still young and have had good seasons so far. Brown was picked on potential, like Olowokandi, and just hasn't "panned out."

Olowokandi is clearly the worst pick ever.

What do you think was the worst pick in modern NBA Draft history?
I think all these players are overrated and teams could choose better ones, but I think that the biggest mistake was made in 1998:


1. LA Clippers Michael Olowokandi Pacific
2. Vancouver Mike Bibby Arizona
3. Denver Raef LaFrentz Kansas
4. Toronto Antawn Jamison North Carolina
5. Golden State Vince Carter North Carolina
6. Dallas Robert Traylor Michigan
7. Sacramento Jason Williams Florida
8. Philadelphia Larry Hughes Saint Louis
9. Milwaukee Dirk Nowitzki DJK Wurzburg (Germany)
10. Boston Paul Pierce Kansas
