#1 Ricky Berry
Drafted 18th overall by the Sacramento Kings, Ricky Berry had a bright future ahead of him. After playing his four college years at San Jose State under his father, the 6-foot 9 forward had a solid rookie season with averages of 11.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 40.6% from beyond the arc.
He is one of the only three players from his college to have their jersey retired. However, the bright future didn't pan out as, after one season with the Kings, Berry was found dead at his home with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot. It was only weeks before his 25th birthday.
