He was a racist

Up until Derrick Rose onwards, nba teams had almost always drafted big men. AI getting drafted number 1 in 96 was something special.

Seeing the Greg Oden pick is so sad. Dude was the most hyped bigman since Shaq, had an unbelievable skill set. Shame he had that leg length surgery and it ruined his career

What's infuriating about that pick is that if we knew what we know now about what kind of play style is actually valuable in basketball, Kevin Durant would've been the number 1 pick 100 times out of 100.

You'd have to be more specific. Most of them were actual good players but for a short amount of time, like Brad Daugherty, Mark Aguirre, Glenn Robinson, and Derrick Coleman . Many of them were also superstars for a while, like Chris Webber and Larry Johnson. A few of them were busts. A few were solid role players like Elton Brand and Kenyon Martin, and a few were journeymen like Danny Manning, Joe Smith, and Andrew Bogut. Hardly any of them were "specialized" players though.
