Good quiz. I don't know who should feel worse: the 12 teams that passed on him, or the Hornets, who actually drafted him then traded him. Ahh hindsight.

Todd Fuller was the right pick at 11. He's in the conversation for best player ever.

In these team's defense, back then it was considered a really risky move to draft a high school player. Had Kobe come around in the 2000's, he probably would have been a top 3 pick.

The quiz is fine but to make it seem like teams voluntarily passed on Kobe is incorrect. He had his agent talk teams out of drafting him. When Charlotte did draft him, he ordered a trade. This article details it. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/03/05/1289903/passing-on-kobe.html
