The Bullets were the only team to use all twelve rounds of this year's draft. Despite that, none of the players they drafted would end up playing for them, though the Bullets would at least acquire Jim Slaughter and James Luisi by trades with the Tri-Cities Blackhawks turned Milwaukee Hawks and New York Knicks respectively. Rather infamously, the #1 pick they had in this year's draft, Gene Melchiorre, would later be revealed to be involved in the CCNY point-shaving scandal of 1951 alongside fellow Bullets draft pick Billy Mann, leaving Melchiorre with the notable distinction of being the only #1 draft pick to ever be permanently banned by the NBA, though he wouldn't be the only #1 draft pick to never play in the NBA at all.
