As long as there have been barstools, there have been men sitting on those barstools arguing about sports. This week, John Paulsen and Anthony Stalter debate the worst #1 pick in the NBA's modern era. Is it the Wizards' pick of Kwame Brown or the Clippers' pick of Michael Olowokandi? They're both bad, but which is the worst? John: This is a tough call, but I'm going to have to go with Kwame Brown as the worst #1 pick in the modern era of the NBA. In his seven seasons, he has averaged 7.5 points and 5.7 rebounds, while shooting 48.4% from the field, which is pretty pathetic for a guy his size (6'11"). He has turned himself into a decent defender, but he has only averaged 0.7 blocks per game, so he's at best a backup center in this league. Michael Olowokandi was a truly awful pick, but his numbers (8.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks) are a little better. (Boy, his shooting percentage - 43.5% - is even worse than Kwame's!) Anyway, the Kandi Man...
