The basketball player Nene, who shouldn’t be confused with the footballer Nene, was chosen by the Knicks at the no. 7 spot in 2002, but they gave up his rights to the Nuggets. That was, perhaps, a questionable move, seeing as Nene was named to the All Rookie team after averaging 10.5 points and 6.1 rebounds.

So far he’s averaged 12.0 points and 6.3 rebounds for his career.
