http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/19657372/the-best-picks-every-nba-draft-slot Drexler and Porter make the list. 15-Steve Nash 20-Larry Nance 26-Vlade Divac I played basketball at a playground in NYC about 15 years ago. Me and mostly kids. A tall guy shows up to play. I guard him. He says his name is Pat and that he played for the Knicks. I'm guessing he's 60 on this list.
The Blazers passed on opportunities to get the best players ever taken at No. 3 AND No. 4. That takes some serious GM magic to pull that off.
They also passed on #6. They could have had Larry Bird as well. The Celtics took him and waited a year.
