too. Another Serbian player who ended up being drafted 2nd overall - ahead of Carmelo, D Wade, Bosh - behind LeBron and was a complete bust. It was 11 years earlier so maybe too far removed, but I recall reading an article about how Mike Trout being drafted 25th overall was partially a result of some other kids from his area being busts in earlier drafts. Different sport, of course, but crossed my mind when I saw your question.
