David Greenwood

David Greenwood may not be a household name, but his performance upon entering the league in 1979 suggests that he’s a likely fit for one of the worst draft picks in Chicago Bulls history.

On draft day, the Bulls held a coin toss with the Lakers to determine who would get the first pick; they lost.

What player was selected at number 1?

Magic Johnson.

You read that right.
