When your team has a bad season, the consolation prize is supposed to come in form of a lottery pick. And with this selection, there's the hope that you've landed the savior of your franchise, or even just that missing piece to help your team get to the next level. As we all know, though, things don't always go according to plan. For every LeBron or Michael Jordan, how many guys like Chris Washburn, Robert Swift, or Kwame Brown have there been, and who were they selected ahead of instead?
