#1 Pick - D.Robinson vs Ewing vs B. Walton

[JordansBulls]

All in the same draft, who do you take first considering everything?

[E-Balla]

Why include Walton if we are including everything? Are we supposed to know their career trajectories?

1. Robinson
2. Ewing
3. Walton

Walton's a distant, distant 3rd given injures.

Robinson's ahead of Ewing because he's just a better player. Also, Robinson's game probably fits better in the current era than Ewing, so the edge he had when they played gets even bigger.

Pretty much this.

For peak, I have Robinson at 13, Walton at 14, Ewing at 18 on my list, so I can see a case for Walton, but he brings very little value outside of his peak.

Oh, and are we supposed to assume that D-Rob enters the league at 22 when he was drafted, or 24? Well, I'd take him over Ewing and Walton even if he entered the league at 24, but he likely would've been a great player, All-Star or borderline superstar player in '88 and '89 if he was allowed to play, so two more seasons on such a high level would certainly widen the gap even more.
