The worst lottery draft picks in NBA history

Another bad decision by Michael Jordan, who at the time was the Wizards President of Basketball Operations. It’s easy to understand the hype surrounding Brown ahead of the 2001 draft. While he never played college ball, his performance at Glynn Academy was outstanding, as he became the program’s all-time leader in rebounds (1,235) and blocks (605), as well as second in points. But Michael Jordan’s decision to make this the number one overall pick did not pan out, as he was traded to the Lakers four years later. He then became a journeyman, and couldn’t stick to any roster for a considerable time period. Notable players that Washington passed on to pick Brown, include Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, and Zach Randolph among others.
