Zion.

Hm debatable I think considering Flaggs age.


ZIon would of been the more exciting player and that probably carries the day for him to be #1. Teams rarely pass on the wow factor. But I think this would of been a Luka thing were he goes #3 but is clearly the best player in the draft and people look back like WTF happened there.

To be clear we are talking about a game where he scored 27 points on 59% TS, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 turnover, 2 steals, and 3 blocks .


and missed the winning shot hence "failed in big moments". It's an objective fact and his performance the rest of the game doesn't matter. He's got the ball with the game on the line. You expect elite players to make it. He didn't. It's noteworthy.


MJ: 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot, and missed. It happens to the best of them.
