Mouhamed Sene. Andrea Bargnani . 10. player. 149. Career Stats: 14.3 PPG, 4.6 RPG and 0.9 BPG. Original Pick

Andrea Bargnani may have been an NBA draft bust at pick No. 1 but, even in hindsight, he is still deserving of a top 10 pick.

For a big man, however, Bargnani was never an excellent rebounder or even an average defender. His best asset was his scoring ability, something that actually allowed him to score 21.4 points per game in the 2010-11 season.

Bargnani never lived up to lofty expectations but you can sure bet that the Seattle Supersonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) would rather have had Bargnani on board over their original pick, Mouhamed Sene, who played a total of 46 NBA games for the Sonics/Thunder.

I’m sure most won’t even remember that name.
