I just gave you the Atlanta Hawks worst draft and I am going to keep plugging along. Next up is the reigning NBA champs, the Boston Celtics. With as storied of a history as they have, it would be hard to imagine that this franchise has had a bad draft, but they, like every organization has had some misses.
If I was going to pick the worst draft of all-time, I would go with their 1986 draft when they took Len Bias with pick 2. Not only did he overdose, not one of the five draft picks (seven rounds back then) played an NBA game. However, I am going from 1990 to the present.
The Winner: Jerome Moiso (11th pick, 2000 draft) - Moiso came out of UCLA with pretty high expectations. Moiso played in only 145 NBA games and with averages of 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game, I can't see why he didn't stay around longer!
Close calls: Eric Montross (9th pick, 1994), Kedrick Brown (11th pick, 2001), and Joseph Forte (21st pick, 2001).
I guess I could have given Brown the tie with Moiso, but Brown came out of JUCO when the Celtics took him, so I wasn't really surprised he was a bust.
