6. Lamar Odom (4)

If there was an award for the "greatest complimentary stars ever drafted" this draft takes the cake. Shawn Marion has the most All-Star selections at 4, and even though he was a swiss army knife, he never was truly "the man" on his team. Odom and Kirilenko were also both swiss army knives, neither could truly ascend to how talented they were. Odom found his groove as a 6th man, while Kirilenko made one All Star team, then never regained his mojo.
Speaking of 6th men, Manu was drafted here. Without question he is the greatest steal in draft history, he was picked second to last, and became part of the one of the greatest trios in basketball. His lack of being the number one option is the only thing holding him back. (Only two all-star selections, which is why he isn't higher.) Another great 6th man, Jason Terry was also picked up here.
Steve Francis, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, and Andre Miller (for a good portion of his career) put up huge numbers on truly awful teams. Francis and Maggette only made the playoffs once a piece.
Richard Hamilton had a really nice career, but he's in the same boat as Ginobili, just not as many rings.
Artest was peaking when his "incident" happened. How much that truly affected his career, we'll never know. But one would assume it derailed a potential all-time great defensive career.
While there may be no superstars on this list, there were only 3 lottery busts. Some guys didn't live up to potential (Odom in particular) but an all round decent draft.
