The Sacramento Kings haven't posted a winning record since 2006, when they won 44 games in Rick Adelman's final season as head coach. They've had nine coaches and nine top-10 picks since. In 2012 alone, their roster featured DeMarcus Cousins, Isaiah Thomas, Hassan Whiteside, and Tyreke Evans. They won 22 games.
The futility stretches a year longer for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who just polished off their 12th straight losing campaign. They've wasted top-10 picks on the likes of Corey Brewer, O.J. Mayo, Johnny Flynn, Wesley Johnson, Derrick Williams, and Trey Burke.
