#2 Karl Malone
Karl Malone was drafted by Utah Jazz as the 13th overall pick. Malone went on to lead his side in the offensive end early in his third season. Even though he played in the era of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he proved that he had enough basketball skills to score against any defensive unit.
