Nothing shapes the future of an NBA team like the NBA Draft, and few teams are as historically snake-bitten as the Portland Trail Blazers.
Brad Stevenson of Fadeaway World took his shot at guessing the five worst draft mistakes in Blazers history.
His selections for number one and number three are not surprising (Sam Bowie and Greg Oden, respectively), but his pick at number two is often forgotten.
He argues that LaRue Martin in the 1972 draft, selected first overall, is a more devastating misstep than the selection of Greg Oden.
