As long as Hasheem Thabeet exist, he's only fighting for 2nd place.

Stromile Swift too

Austin Rivers has "biggest bust of all time" potential, tbh.... he's a y got who thought he was too good for college, despite his game being nowhere near NBA-ready after his freshman year, and he only got drafted so high because he went to Dook and his daddeh coaches in the NBA....

With guys like Bowie and Oden out there, I'm pretty sure Rivers is safe.

Let's not forget Darko. Pistons were fresh off a championship and have a #2 pick, something that I'm not sure had ever happened before...and they pass on Anthony, Bosh, Wade for this stiff. Perfect example of why you draft by talent, not by need...especially in the lottery.

They only reached the ECF in 2003. They won the Finals with Darko riding the pine.

Classic example of a contender not wanting to upset its rotation by taking a chance on a top prospect.
