NBA is so funny
It's funny how Eljon Baylor won NBA exec of the year. He's supposidly the best NBA GM in the league. Let's be honest, Eljon sucks. He really does. He's been with the Clippers since 1986 and if memory serves me correct, they have made it to the playoffs 2 times in his 20 year tenure. He got lucky this year. Drafting over and over in the top 3 year after year will payoff for everyone over time. Here's some great first round duds Eljon has picked.
1987
4 Reggie Williams Georgetown
13 Joe Wolf North Carolina
19 Ken Norman Illinois
Holy shit 3 picks in the top 20 and only Norman could play, barely though
1988
1 Danny Manning Kansas
6 Hersey Hawkins Bradley
Danny never ever lived up to the hype, his body broke down on him
1989
2 Danny Ferry Duke
Another Danny, this one held out and said FU LA, I don't want to play for you, I'll go play in Italy
1990
8 Bo Kimble Loyola Marymount
13 Loy Vaught Michigan
1991
22 LeRon Ellis Syracuse
1992
16 Randy Woods La Salle
25 Elmore Spencer UNLV
1993
13 Terry Dehere Seton Hall
1994
7 Lamond Murray California
25 Greg Minor Louisville
1995
2 Antonio McDyess Alabama
1996
7 Lorenzen Wright Memphis
1997
14 Maurice Taylor Michigan
1998
1 Michael Olowokandi Pacific
22 Brian Skinner Baylor
1999
4 Lamar Odom Rhode Island
2000
3 Darius Miles East St. Louis H.S.
18 Quentin Richardson DePaul
2001
2 Tyson Chandler Dominguez H.S.
2002
8 Chris Wilcox Maryland
12 Melvin Ely Fresno State
2003
6 Chris Kaman Central Michigan
2004
4 Shaun Livingston
2005
8 Yaroslav Korolev
Holy shit, I gave up give quotes on each guy cause there are so many dumps of picks on this list. Most of the time I was saying who the fuck is this guy and how the hell did he go so high in the draft.
So if you think Eljon Baylor should be Exec of the year, look at this list and you will see how bad he is. 16 top 10 picks over his tenure, that really sucks!!!
