Among #1 picks that went to college in USA, last one from non-NCAA Tourney team was Michael Olowokandi from Pacific in 1998

Well that does not spell good things for Simmons...

That has gotta be the weakest top 3 picks ever. Olowokandi, Bibby, Lafrentz.

Bibby was okay I guess...

That's why I said went to college in USA. Other #1 picks either from high school or foreign country since Olowokandi were LeBron, Ming, Andrea Bargnani, Dwight Howard and Kwame Brown.
