Almost positive CJ was #2 overall. I am guessing someone from that '81 team.

I'm guessing this is a trick question. ..

Do his assistant coaching stops count?

Shaq was obviously one and Ben McDonald played basketball for Dale Brown at the same time that he played baseball and was chosen #1 in the draft.

As the title said - Just for Fun

You can probably win a beer or two in a bar bet if you offer the question correctly.

1991: Roberts (technically drafted from spain)
1992: Shaq
1993: Geert

Not kidding and didn't know this until he told me at a book signing last year...

Dale Brown worked with Skip and kept Ben on his basketball scholarship (full) even after moving over to baseball. Was a pretty slick way to keep him on a full ride and not steal from the few scholarships that baseball is/was allowed.

Not sure if Lyle Mouton got the same deal but I doubt it. Should have asked.
