AP6. Bo Kimble (No. 8 overall, 1990, L.A. Clippers)
High-scoring Loyola-Marymount guard could not transfer his skills to the NBA hardwood. Kimble lasted a mere two seasons with the Clippers, then played nine games for the Knicks in the 1992-93 season.
Claim to fame: In one of the most touching tributes in college basketball history the right-handed Kimble, shot his free throws left-handed during the NCAA Tournament to honor his former teammate Hank Gathers, who was felled on the court during a game by a heart condition.
Better choice: Antonio Davis, by Indiana in second round, No. 45 overall.

Claim to fame: Teamed with his brother Charles, Toby Bailey and Tyus Edney to lead the UCLA Bruins to the NCAA championship in 1995. O’Bannon was named outstanding player of the Final Four.
