Worst #1 pick of all-time? Wasn't even hurt. Just can't play a lick.
 
Kwame Brown was probably just as bad. Olowakandi was very bad too. Greg Oden will go down as one of the biggest busts also. Yes he is definitely up there.
 
The Cavs could have taken:

Victor Oladipo
Giannis Antetokuempo
Nerlens Noel
Rudy Gobert
Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope
Ben McLemore
Michael Carter-Williams

Man, that 2013 draft sucked. The players I just mentioned are the best players from that draft. If I had to pick that draft again knowing what I know now, I would say:

#1) Rudy Gobert (went 27th)
#2) Giannis Antemptokum-whatever (went 15th)
#3) Victor Oladipo (went 2nd)
#4) Nerlens Noel (went 6th)
#5) Kentavious Pope (went 8th)
#6) Michael Carter-Williams (went 11th)
 
You're right Big. That draft was terrible. Incredibly terrible. Their first round pick in that draft is basically what the Lakers gave up for Nash along with next years first rounder. Peanuts.
 
Anthony Bennett is the worst #1 overall pick of all time, not close. He legitimately can't play. Olowokandi and Brown were both serviceable backup big men, who wouldn't have gone down as busts if they'd been drafted at #20 instead of #1. Bennett is a bust at any draft pick, he's not good enough to play in the league and went #1 overall.



This draft still probably isn't as bad as the '00 draft, though. Steven Adams is another guy from the draft class that is going to have a solid career.
