13. Eddy Curry, 4th pick

It wasn't that bad pick at the time...
12. Shaun Livingson, 4th pick
He never panned out even before his gruesome injury. Livingson's career year: 9 points, 5 assists. All went downhill from there.
11. Jonathan Bender, 5th pick

Bender looked good, he just wasn't.
10. Marcus Fizer, 4th pick
Fizer played in 72 games as a rook, 76 as a soph, then 38, 46, 54 and 3. And then it ended. This durable power forward averaged 4 rebounds a game for his career, if that's what you want to call it.
9. Stromile Swift, 2nd pick
And the award for the most deceiving name goes to...
8. Nikoloz Tskitishvili, 5th pick

Hey scouting team, step into my office. Why? Because you're f*ckin' fired.
7. Sheldon Williams, 5th pick
My old house keeper Juanita, who's watched more Judge Judy in her life than basketball, could have told you Sheldon Williams was not an NBA caliber player.
6. Adam Morrison, 3rd pick
Morrison was a damn good college player. Unfortunately he's a herendous pro.
5. Greg Oden, 1st pick
I have a soft spot in my heart for both Oden and Portland. He was the pick, and nobody questioned it. Just bad luck here.
4. Hasheem Thabeet, 2nd pick

Ugh.
3. Darko Milicic, 2nd pick
Carmelo? Nah. D-Wade? Ehhh. Bosh? Hmmm. Guy with cool first name who plays overseas? Sold!
2. Kwame Brown, 1st pick
He's still signing contracts. That's the only reason he's not #1 if you're wondering.
1. Michael Olowakandi, 1st pick

Here's a preposterous stat: Olo was 7 feet tall and a career 43% shooter from the field. He's the worst number one pick over the last 20 years.
