No. 2 Larry Hughes
Pick: 8th overall 1998 draft
Notable players selected after: Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce
You can mark Hughes down as one of the many failed experiments by Sixers management of trying to find a second guy next to Allen Iverson. The Sixers passed on future Hall of Famers Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce to select Hughes and it was a complete failure.
Hughes averaged 9.6 points and 3.5 rebounds in 100 games before being sent to the Golden State Warriors. Nowitzki and Pierce, meanwhile, went on to have amazing careers and went to win a title and a Finals MVP each. Talk about a complete screw-up. Could you imagine one of these guys next to Iverson? Philadelphia would have won at least a title or two.
