The worst lottery draft picks in NBA history


[post_page_title]Joe Alexander[/post_page_title]
While his draft stock wasn’t as high as some of the other players on this list, his disappointment was as decisive and swift as any. Selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2008 draft, there were high hopes for Alexander following his impressive collegiate career at West Virginia. His impressive showing at the NBA Combine got him a lot of praise and attention. Unfortunately, he was unable to translate his athleticism to success at the NBA level. Alexander was out of the league just two seasons later, and wound up playing in the NBA D-League, after averaging a very lowly 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. The Bucks would have done much better to have drafted Roy Hibbert, DeAndre Jordan, or Serge Ibaka that year.
