Milicic was a part of the same draft as LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade

Another bust that needs a little bit of context. Milicic wasn't the biggest bust if you go by sheer numbers, with career averages of 6.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. He was just part of one the greatest draft classes of all time.

The very same one that also boasted LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. Drafted at number 2, he didn't quite have the impact he was projected to have on his franchise, while several players drafted after him have gone on to have Hall of Fame, title-winning careers.
