That's actually an incredibly easy question. The Wiz took Brown in a draft where HSers were so prevalent that the guys they passed up in the lottery -Chandler, Curry, Gasol- are still basically projects. The most successful players from that draft -Arenas and Richard Jefferson - weren't even blips on the radar screen going into the lottery.
As for Kandi: The Clips passed up Mike Bibby, Jamison, Vince Carter, Dirk Diggler, Paul Pierce, Larry Hughes, and Bonzi Wells in the first 11 picks alone. Kandi was the worse pick of the two, the worst pick in Clippers history (saying a lot) and possibly the worst #1 Pick ever.
