Eddy Curry was drafted by the Chicago Bulls. He joined Greg Anthony, Jamal Crawford, Tyson Chandler, Charles Oakley, Jalen Rose, and Metta Sandiford-Artest on what could have been a very strong team if they stuck together long enough. But it took a few years until the NBA realized how great of a player Jamal Crawford would become. Tyson Chandler was also very young when Curry was drafted and nobody knew what he would go on to become. They did have Jalen Rose in his prime, however, and should have waited to see what else they had on the roster after it had developed. 2/26/2025
