Throughout the NBA Draft history, who would you choose to be the best 1st pick, 2nd pick, 3rd pick, and so forth...

To me the easiest that comes to my mind is MJ as the best 3rd pick ever in NBA history.

The toughest to choose is the 1st pick because it tough to choose Shaq, Duncan, Rose, Iverson, Olajuwon, Robinson, Lebron, Magic and so forth since you can only pick 1.

Here are my greatest ultimate Draft list ... in the entire NBA Draft history.

What do you think? Agree or Disagree. post your list here if you disagree.

i prefer wade to barkley at 5 just because wade is Flashy.

Durant really the best 2nd? (Isiah Thomas or Jason Kidd)

at 21: Michael Finley

I'm sure there is someone better than Pierce.

Great list though!
