Steve Stipanovich Sam Bowie Benoit Benjamin Chris Washburn Armon Gilliam Dennis Hopson Danny Ferry Pervis Ellison* Derrick Coleman* Chris Jackson Billy Owens Larry Johnson* Christian Laettner Anfernee Hardaway Glenn Robinson* Joe Smith* Keith Van Horn Marcus Camby Michael Olowokandi* Raef LaFrentz Can you believe all these guys were actually top 3 picks? The guys with astricks were all #1's overall. Seems like half these guys were drafted by the Clippers.
Kemp, by far!. he was the best big man in 96! by 2002 he was out of the league!!. he ate himself out of the league!
I'm so torn about Grant. Great guy, lot of talent, very marketable. But he never won anything and really seemed to lack that "killer instinct" that all that Jordan had. I think maybe he was mislabeled as a superstar, and is really more of a Pippen-type Robin to someone else's Batman.
Thats a big call there big fella!!. kids only a rookie and Coach brown has a history of bringing the rookies slowly!. Also he's in a team loaded with big men, like BW and RW.!
Sam Perkins - only the Blazers taking Sam Bowie in the same draft keeps this from being remembered as a monumental screwup. Picked next: Charles Barkley. 1984 is almost certainly the greatest draft class of all time, with Hakeem, Jordan, Barkley, and Stockton being taken that year, not to mention solid pros like Otis Thorpe and Kevin Willis.
He was a monster prior to his first conviction and was putting up numbers as good if not better than Dreams the year he was booted from the league.
Lloyd Daniels Michael Ray Richardson Roy Tarpley Randy White Jim Jackson (remember when he averaged 25.7 for the Mavs? I loved to watch him singlehandedly take over games in the 4th, but they didn't win many) Mitch Wiggins and Lou Lloyd You can't leave offf Ralph Sampson Derrick Coleman had a nice career, but I do agree, he had all the skills to be the best or one of the best PF's of all time Sam Bowie LJ had a nice career going until the back problems - he did hit on my ex too. Zo Jason Williams Raef LaFrentz Tractor Traylor Len Bias Reggie Lewis Malik Sealy Lawrence Moten John Wallace I could go on and on!!
