The worst lottery draft picks in NBA history


[post_page_title]Derrick Williams[/post_page_title]
The 2011 draft was full of many potential great picks, yet somehow the Minnesota Timberwolves were still able to mess it up. They used the second overall pick on Arizona’s Derrick Williams, who would only last with the team until 2013. He would later endure a long sequence of mediocre (at best) stints with the Kings, Knicks, Heat and Cavs, before ultimately playing himself out of the league. The sting of this pick was further enhanced by the opportunity cost for Minnesota. Players who were drafted after Williams, included Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Enes Kanter, Tristan Thompson, and many others, in what turned out to be a highly prolific draft class.
