Darko is probably the worst draft pick ever.
All Time draft steal - Brain Scalabrine Round 2 Picked 34th Overall.

I think Kwame Brown was a bigger bust than Milicic. But considering who Darko went ahead of, it makes him the worst.

Darko. Because of who followed him...the pistons would still be a powerhouse if they had gone with anyone else.

Worst pick ever, the Timberwolves selecting Ricky Rubio. At least the others on the list had a chance to bomb. Rubio never even chose to play! lol

This is a great thread. Still can't believe that Gervin was a 3rd round pick!

Ricky Rubeu supposedly is trying to make a deal with the T'Wolves.
