Of course, OU would have been a lot better in 1986, and Tisdale probably would have become the NCAA's all time leading scorer. Also, the 1985 and 1986 drafts would have been effected, and history would have been rewritten.
In the 1985 draft, Indiana selected Tisdale with their #2 pick. Who would they have picked if Tisdale were not available?
Benoit Benjamin and Xavier McDaniel went 3 and 4, they'd both move up a spot. How about this? Karl Malone as a Chicago Bull? They drafted Keith Lee at 10, what if he had gone earlier, Malone would have been sitting there at 10, would they have selected him? As it was, the Jazz took him at 12.
As for the 1986 draft, would Tisdale have gone before Brad Daugherty? If Cleveland still selected Daugherty at #1, could Tisdale have gone #2?
You know who had the #2 pick in 1986? The Boston Celtics. Instead of drafting Len Bias, they may have drafted Wayman Tisdale. And instead of being a Pacer, a King and a Sun, and live in NBA obscurity, Tisdale could have been front and center with Bird, Parrish and McHale.
If the Celtics still went with Bias, Tisdale most certainly would have gone #3 and joined Chris Mullin with Golden State, and become a part of what later would become a very solid ballclub with Mullin and Mitch Richmond 2 years later.
Just some random thoughts.
