Brown was drafted as the No. 1 pick by Michael Jordan himself

When you're drafted as the number 1 pick straight out of high school by none other than Michael Jordan, you're expected to be a success. Brown failed to kick on from what looked to be a promising position in the league.

Stories float around about how playing next to the ultra-competitive Jordan was brutal for the young player. But even later in his career, Brown never truly touched the potential ceiling he was hailed to break through. He bounced around the league, playing for seven different teams before calling it quits in 2013.
