Skita should be higher. I think they are a little harsh on Stromile. Someone like Marcus Fizer, drafted 2 spots below him, was much worse.

And I still can't believe Araujo was a lottery pick

Even though he was a huge waste of $$, I (a grizz fan) still loved Stro.

Will never forget when he dunked it right on top of Yao Ming on the opening possession of game against rockets. Was sick.

that's a horrible list. at least by my standards. if a guy is still in the league after 8-10 yrs, it's hard to call him a bust. guys like Morrison, Acie Law, Reece Gaines, and Troy Bell are some of the bigger ones I can think of.

also, there were a lot of "coulda drafted" on there, yet no mention of my favorite player Marvin Williams.

I think te fact that it was a loaded class for superstars and he got picked over 2-3 of them is why they put him there

The Supersonics (prior to becoming the THunder) should have a list of their own. Single worst drafting by one team in a short period that I can think of. Some of their brilliant lottery selections:

Johan Petro
Robert Swift
Saer Sene

Who you might ask? exactly

Hasheem Thabeet basically went straight from the #2 pick to the D-League.

Pfft guy is awesome for the Nets! Also Petro was the 24th pick according to the internet. Soo considering he's still in the league after 7 years, that's not terrible.

In the midst of Linsanity, I learned that Robert Swift and Rex Chapman are both half-Japanese.

I think you mean Rex Walters. Rex Chapman liked black chicks though.
