A comparison of six first overall picks, all of which caused various degrees of frustration and grief to their fanbases.

Bryan Colangelo’s three first overall picks:
Andrea Bargnani
Ben Simmons
Markelle Fultz

The Cav’s first overall picks, post-LeBron:
Kyrie Irving
Andrew Wiggins
Anthony Bennett

Which trio is better?

At this point Kyrie was the clear #2 on one title team and Wiggins was probably at least the 3rd most valuable player for another team that won a finals which puts the Cavs trio clearly ahead imo.

Kyrie and Wiggins combo is definitey > Simmons and Bargs, so it depends how much you punish the Cavs for having an unplayable player compared to Fultz

Irving is arguably the best ball handler of all time, elite scorer and has a ring plus a few all nba teams.

Wiggins is a bust if you consider how he was hyped coming into the league but was just a key contributor to a title team and is a decent player when engaged.

Bennett is worthless.

Bargnani was ok but has no accolades or really anything notable during his career.

Simmons is too mentally weak to play and has given up on every team he's played for.

Fultz is garbage

Simmons v. Irving. If Simmons plays, it's a reasonable comp. Simmons sitting out and sulking, it's not close. Of course the same goes for Irving but Kyrie seems more likely to be suited up and playing than Simmons though that could change.

As for Bargnani/Fultz v. Wiggins/Bennett, at the moment everyone is going to favor Wiggins/Bennet. However, if you had asked before the playoff this year, it might have been interesting.
