NBA top picks that turned out to be a bust

ANDREA BARGNANI (No. 1, Toronto 2006) lacks the requisite athleticism to be an adequate defender as well as a consistent point-producer.

COREY BREWER (No. 7, Minnesota 2007) belongs in the D League.

KWAME BROWN (No. 1, Washington 2001) is perhaps the worst first pick since LaRue Martin.

EDDY CURRY (No. 4, Chicago 2001) is the round mound who can't rebound.

IKE DIOGU (No. 7, Golden State 2005) is still earning a hefty paycheck on the basis of his presumed potential.

ADONAL FOYLE (No. 8, Golden State 1997) is a nice guy.

LUKE JACKSON (No. 10, Cleveland 2004) has the know-how but not the talent.

RAEF LaFRENTZ (No. 3, Denver 1998) could block shots, but otherwise was a big man with a little man's game.

CHRIS MIHM (No. 7, Chicago 2000) is armed with a jump hook, decent hops and good court awareness, but is cursed with a lethal softness.

DARIUS MILES (No. 3, L.A. Clippers 2000) could be pushed around by Mister Softee.

DARKO MILICIC (No. 2, Detroit 2003) doesn't want to, and won't, play hard more than once every two weeks.

ADAM MORRISON (No. 3, Charlotte 2006) another guy who makes marshmallows look like they're made of steel.

JOAKIM NOAH (No. 9, Chicago 2007) a lightweight in a heavyweight sport.

MOUHAMED SENE (No. 10, Seattle 2006) is lucky to still be in the league.

PATRICK O'BRYANT (No. 9, Golden State 2006) has an excellent seat to watch the Celtics.

STROMILE SWIFT (No. 2, Vancouver/Memphis 2000) is the epitome of a journeyman player.

SHELDEN WILLIAMS (No. 5, Atlanta 2006) has maximal size to go with a minimal game.

LORENZEN WRIGHT (No. 7, L.A. Clippers 1996) is good enough to stay, but not good enough to play.

YI JIANLIAN (No. 6, Milwaukee 2007) is the invisible man.
