Draft no.: 5th overall
Draft year: 1999
Team: Toronto Raptors
Jonathan Bender entered the draft right out of high school, and was expected to be the next prep to pro star. After being drafted by the Raptors, the Pacers acquired his draft rights. Bender would spend seven seasons in Indiana, barely playing the last three seasons before missing three years due to injury. He would attempt a comeback in 2009-10 with the Knicks, but played only 25 games. He would average 5.5 points per game and 2.2 rebounds for his career.
