From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1968 NBA Draft produced future Hall of Famers with the first two picks, Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld. Both were also named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team in 1996. Two other drafted players went on to successful coaching careers (Don Chaney with four NBA teams and Rick Adelman with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Sacramento Kings).
