No chance dude, yeah he isnt worthy of a #1 pick but take a look at the rest of that  draft.  The 2000 draft is easily the worst draft in the history of the NBA, I don't think KMart belongs on this list.

I don't care if the rest of the draft was complete shit, he's the number 1 pick and should have played like one.  The only thing he did noteworthy was call out Keith Van Horn for not showing up in the Finals and then he pulls the same no show act the next year.

He's a bust.

Jamal Crawford, Hedo Turgkolu, and Michael Redd shoulda been drafted before him IMO but yeah it was a weak class.
