2001 NBA Draft

From Free net encyclopedia

2001 NBA Draft — 27 June 2001 – New York City, New York

Kwame Brown became the first high school player to be drafted number one overall in draft history. He has since been labeled a bust, as his play with the Washington Wizards and latter LA Lakers has been unimpressive at times but, finally decided to show what made him number 1 towards the end of the 05-06 season. This has been called by the Washington Times as the worst draft ever.
