The 1998 NBA draft was one that was full of stars and busts. There were a handful of legendary selections as well as plenty of players who failed to reach their potential. There were five players to make All-Star appearances and at least two players who look like locks for the Hall of Fame.

The draft consisted of 58 players being taken over two rounds, with 56 of those selections appearing in the NBA.
