    20 - I am ashamed - I used to rattle these off as a bar trick like saying the alphabet backwards.

    Same on the Kandi-Man. Also, was I the only one who had to enter first names? The other quizzes let me do last only.

    also- I kept putting Akeem instead of Hakeem (that was his name on draft day).

    Also- I really sucked at this quiz.

  • daniel_92 said August 16, 2008

    24... cant believe i forgot daugherty and sampson

  • ARRY90 said September 15, 2008

    Olowokandi almost got me cus i cudnt remember how to spell his name. And besides part of me refuses to believe he was a number one pick. Same goes for Kwame Clown. Besides all that I got them all right. 29/29. Suprised myself. =)

    27. took me an hour to spell olowokandi and i missed 80 and 81... not bad considering it happened 10 years before i was born.

    26. I forgot about the Kandi man, but I am not ashamed about it.

  • TOLOME said January 23, 2009

    i got 19.. id i pass?

  • sportsguy001 said March 02, 2009

    Can't spell

  • BloodTypeNYK13 said April 03, 2009

    14 outta 29.
    Some ridiculous names in there though.... Pervis Ellison? Kwame Brown???
    (btw... I think Sam Bowie deserves an honourable mention as second pick. Go Portland. :-P)

    ronjumper23 said May 06, 2009

    i put in david robinson and shaq but it didn't give them to me... 14/29

  • adam789_99 said May 08, 2009

    24/29....cant believe i forgot danny manning

  • phillysbc said May 28, 2009

    No debate, Kwame Brown

  • JukaiBallin said 16 days ago

    22/29. Some of these I should have got, like Ralph Sampson and Larry Johnson. Others, like Brad Daugherty, I was never goign to get in a million years.

    Since Kwame Brown is still in the L, I'm going to say Olowokandi is the worst first round pick.
