It’s become pretty commonplace to have conversations where Victor Wenbayama is considered the greatest 1st pick of all time, so I was curious as to what the community felt the ranking was
If all first picks from the past 30 years were in one draft, I’d definitely have LeBron and Duncan at the top. But Victor Wembanyama’s potential could shake things up!
I get it if people are taking Lebron first, but I’m still taking Wemby.
LeBron at 1. I’m not a LeBron fan, but he’s the guy.
I’m putting Duncan at 2. Somehow I’m thinking people are either forgetting or never knew just how damned good he was. I can’t fathom putting a 1 year guy over a proven, all-time great like Duncan.
Wemby shouldn’t even enter this discussion for a few more seasons. Let’s see how he goes!
1st LeBron
2nd Wemby
3rd Duncan
29th: Anthony Bennett
30th: Greg Oden
Shaq, Lebron or Wemby
Those would probably be top 3 any order.
Purely drafting as a prospect and not based on what they have accomplished. Also drafting in 2025.
- Wemby, - you can’t teach height and his fully rounded game make him #1
- Duncan, - tall, elite defense with polished offense, known entity
- LeBron, - athleticism, youth, uncertainty with being a high school kid
- AD, - defense, height, Wemby light
- Zion, - LeBron light
I’m taking Dirk and KG over AD and Zion. They are already great and their games would be even better in today’s NBA.
