The worst lottery draft picks in NBA history

[post_page_title]Dennis Hopson[/post_page_title]
It’s kind of difficult to pinpoint where exactly his career deteriorated, but at the time of the 1987 draft, Hopson was the all-time leading scorer in Ohio State history. While that might explain the decision to select him, it is difficult to understand why the team would go on to select six guards in the draft (when the NBA Draft still had seven rounds). Hopson’s career ended rather quickly, as he was out of the league within five short years. He didn’t even remain in Jersey (now Brooklyn) for all of them. Meanwhile, the Nets could have really improved their fortunes, had they drafted Scottie Pippen or Reggie Miller, both of whom were selected after Hopson.
