6. Kenny Smith
7. Kevin Johnson
8. Olden Polynice

1987 Remixed:
1. David Robinson (1)
2. Scottie Pippen (5)
3. Reggie Miller (11)
4. Kevin Johnson (7)
5. Mark Jackson (18)
6. Horace Grant (10)
7. Reggie Lewis (22)
8. Armen Gilliam (2)
9. Ken Norman (19)
10. Derrick McKey (9)
11. Muggsy Bogues (12)
12. Kenny Smith (6)
13. Olden Polynice (8)
Overall, this was a really good draft. There are some legendary players that were selected. Also, some of the best role players ever. Mark Jackson was the biggest steal of the draft, and Reggie Lewis was the second. Had Reggie not died, he was on pace to be something special. That "other" Reggie, as in Miller, ended up being a pretty good shooter. The "other other" Reggie, Reggie Williams couldn't stay healthy, so he would be classified as a bust. (The seasons he played a majority of the games he did play well, but it wasn't enough to warrant the number 4 pick, especially with who was still on the board.) The biggest bust was Dennis Hopson who was out of the league by '92, after putting up seasons of disappointing numbers. If the Nets wanted a wing man, they could have selected Scottie Pippen or Reggie Miller who were still on the board. Speaking of Pippen, he was drafted by the Supersonics, and traded draft night for Olden Polynice and some spare parts. Ouch.
