OT - Best Draft Picks (Current Players)

cxd13 · Post #1 » by **cxd13** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 1:35 am

Who are the current "best" draft picks (1-10) that are currently in the NBA. You would state the draft pick #, then next to it state the player who was drafted at that # who is currently playing in the NBA.

1 - LeBron James
2 - Emeka Okafor
3 - Deron Williams
4 - Chris Paul
5 - Dwyane Wade

Are my top 5, still thinking about 6-10

It's amazing looking back at history at the lack of great players at the 6th pick. Bird was by far the best, but after that not so much.

Lot's of busts picked here.

Anyways, it's cool.

i understand that question asks for current players but does it mean how the players play today llike as if you were drafting them today or what they have done as well...
If it includes what they have done..
