    Believe it or not, the guy who picked Lancaster Gordon over Stockton, Thorpe, Willis, Cage et al. (and picked Benoit Benjamin over Karl Malone and Chris Mullin the following year) is still an NBA general manager ... Pete Babcock, now with the Atlanta Hawks.

    Note: It was my cowhead. I started the cowhead craze, and my cowhead inspired Mooch to step up and bring us a victory. Thank you for your time. :D

    Don't forget Jerome Kersey (#46). Was great for Portland for more than a decade, and still in the league.

    Also, Carl Lewis (#212) was selected by the Bulls. He went on to a pretty successful career, in another field.
