I wasn't following when Bowie was drafted so I don't know of the hype that surrounded him.

From the past 10 years or so, it has to be Darko.
that's unfair, he was benched by brown. This year is his first real rookie year.

You're right, it's too early to tell but from what I see, he sucks and really has no potential to be anywhere close to a franchise player like Yao, Lebron, Camelo, Wade, Duncan... you know, players that were high draft picks.

Kenyon Martin is another overrated underachiever.

Friggin Blazers. :|

Can you comprehend how good a team they would have been with Drexler AND Jordan? If a world-class center like Sabonis could have played when they drafted him in '86, that team would have been completely unstoppable for YEARS.

oh mana Drexler and Jordan team wold have been great.

though Pipen was pretty darn good also.

Wilt Chamberlain played way before that
