    Has a player drafted at #1 ever come from a team that failed to make tourney???

    Ben Simmons will almost certainly go #1 and LSU doesn't deserve to go to tourney and likely will not...

    Though it may affect marketability though I am not entirely certain that 'march madness' needs anymore marketability.

    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.
