1992 NBA draft

The top three picks (Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Christian Laettner) were considered can't-miss prospects.

All three are Hall of Famers (Naismith & FIBA); O'Neal and Mourning are (individual) player-inducted, whereas Laettner is team-inducted.

Laettner made one All-Star game in his career and was an Olympic Gold Medalist on the 1992 Dream Team, but did not live up to the lofty expectations set for him.

Two other players went on to become All-Stars (Tom Gugliotta once, Latrell Sprewell four times) and several others had solid careers (Jimmy Jackson, Robert Horry, Doug Christie, P.J.

Brown, LaPhonso Ellis, Jon Barry, Walt Williams, Anthony Peeler, and Clarence Weatherspoon).

Shaquille O'Neal , the 1st pick to the Orlando Magic
Alonzo Mourning , the 2nd pick to the Charlotte Hornets
Christian Laettner , the 3rd pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves
Tom Gugliotta , the 6th pick to the Washington Bullets/Wizards
