WHERE ARE THEY NOW? The biggest NBA Draft busts of all time
Darko Milicic was picked no. 2 in 2003 by the Pistons, over Carmelo Anthony.
Now he's retired and back in Serbia. He last played with the Celtics in 2012, and has since switched to kickboxing.
Greg Oden was the no. 1 overall pick in 2007.
After five knee surgeries, Oden never panned out in the NBA. He played limited minutes for the Heat in 2014, but now plies his trade in China for the Jiangsu Dragons
Jonny Flynn got picked 6th overall in 2009, ahead of Steph Curry.
Flynn has played all over the world, including Australia and, most recently, Italy.
The Bulls took Jay Williams at no. 2 in 2002.
After a career-ending motorcycle accident, he now works for ESPN as a college basketball analyst.
Sam Bowie was famously selected at no. 2 in the 1984 draft, one spot ahead of Michael Jordan.
He now owns and raises racehorses in Lexington, Kentucky.
Tanzanian big man Hasheem Thabeet was picked second overall in 2009 by the Grizzlies.
Thabeet has bounced around the D-League and occasionally rides the bench in the NBA. He last played for the Grand Rapids Drive.
Adam Morrison of Gonzaga was picked third overall by the Charlotte Bobcats in 2006.
He's now back at Gonzaga as a coach and video coordinator.
7'6 Shawn Bradley was the no. 2 pick in 1993, selected by the Sixers.
In 2010, Bradley ran as a Republican for 44th District Seat in the Utah House of Representatives. He lost.
Michael Olowokandi was the no. 1 overall pick in 1998.
He now lives in Dallas, perhaps best known for being the husband of Basketball Wives star Suzie Ketcham.
Nikoloz Tskitishvili was picked at no. 5 by the Nuggets in 2002
The Georgian center has bounced around leagues all over the world, currently playing for Fujian Sturgeons in China.
Pervis Ellison was the no. 1 overall pick in 1989.
He never panned out, and "Never Nervous" quickly earned a new nickname, "Never In Service." Ellison coaches at Life Center Academy in Vorhees, NJ, and two of his children are currently Div. 1 basketball players.
Dajuan Wagner, who made a name for himself in high school when he scored 100 points in a single game, was drafted 6th overall in 2002 by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Injuries and health problems plagued Wagner's career. He last played in Poland in 2007.
Kwame Brown became the first high schooler to go first overall in the NBA Draft. The Wizards picked him in 2001.
Brown played for seven different teams over the course of his career, but never made much of an impact on any. He retired in 2013.
Jan Vesely's most iconic NBA moment was perhaps when he kissed his girlfriend upon being drafted sixth overall by the Wizards in 2011.
Vesely's stint in the NBA lasted until just 2014. He now plays in Turkey for Fenerbahce, and internationally for the Czech Republic.
The Cleveland Cavaliers shocked the NBA world when they selected Anthony Bennett with the first overall pick in 2013.
Bennett's already played on three teams. He moved to Minnesota as part of the Kevin Love trade, and now plays in Toronto, though he sees very limited minutes.
