team. 18. <p><em>Joseph Forte was the 21st overall pick in 2001 to the Boston Celtics</em></p> <p>As much as I would like Rashad McCants to be number one here, he at least was productive in his short stint in the NBA. However, Joseph Forte was not. In three seasons he averaged 1.2 points and .7 assists per game. Forte may not be just the worst pick from UNC but maybe one of the top ten worst picks of all time.</p>. . . Joseph Forte. 1

Well that’s the top 10. Some are probably wondering where players like Raymond Felton, PJ Hairston, Tyler Hansborough, or others who may not have been multiple all stars are. Maybe those guys weren’t as bad as you think.  Maybe your view of a successful draft pick is harsher than others.

Whatever the reason, remember not every first rounder will be a success story. Plus the Basketball GOAT went to UNC, so do the other picks really matter that much?
