Comical post but I'll play along

1995 - KG was thought of a high risk straight out of high school draft pick
1997 - Keith Van Horn was a highly touted prospect. T-Mac another high risk straight out of high school draft pick. Billups was a diamond in the rough
1998 - I'll give you this one, even though Dirk was a foreign unknown coming into the draft
2001 - Arenas was a diamond in the rough, Tony Parker a foreign semi-unknown
2002 - I'll give you this one
2006 - Thabo, Rondo, and Lowry were all projected to be of similar star power/value
2007 - Laughable, Marc Gasol was an unknown outside of being Pau Gasol's brother
2008 - I'll give you this one
2010 - I'll give you this one
2011 - Laughable
2013 - Giannis was a high risk foreign unknown
2015 - I'll give you this one
2016 - Ben Simmons was highly touted and thought of as a no brainer. Jaylen was a diamond in the rough
2017 - I'll give you this one. Even though Fultz was a highly touted prospect
2018 - Proof you don't watch the NBA lol

Philly (BYRD GANG)
For half of those picks the team was ran by Ownership who didn’t care about basketball and only Flyers.

I said this many times for a historic franchise they suffered from the worse ownership in sports

Josh Harris ain’t better than Ed Snyder/Comcast Spectacor

They both treated the 76ers like afterthoughts

Harris cares more about the Washington Commanders(NFL), Crystal Palace ( English Premier League soccer) and the New Jersey Devils(NHL) than the Sixers

And Snyder cared much more about the Philadelphia Flyers(NHL) than the Philadelphia 76ers back in those days.

Mikal Bridges woulda been a good pick if they kept it. He actually plays
Even if he frustrate ppl at times, at least he is available.

He never been on that "load management" bullshyt, and he usually has a lot on his plate defensively, guarding the other team's best player.
