All top 10 picks. Nash was chosen in the teens, in what was considered a
pretty untalented draft *apart from the top 7 or 8* 

Bowie was drafted due to need not skill. Portland already had Clyde
Drexler, they had no need for MJ, although now you can say that they
should have picked MJ *as we all know they should have*

So in effect it does say something.
