then there could be no 1-9 and he would finally be upgraded to consensus top 5 for once?

That's true - Lebron had 3 years to develop his team into a high seed before entering the 06' Playoffs, and this included acquiring a 22/6/5 all-defender (Hughes)
Lebron proceeded to reduce him to a spot-up shooter, so hughes was nothing, similar to other wings like Ingram or Jamison alongside LeCancer
Otoh, Jordan's scoring was partially assisted, thereby elevating teammate role, so guys like Pippen grew by leaps and bounds alongside him.

How come Lebron couldn't make it out of the lottery until Hughes came to town? Originally Posted by And1AllDay

Part of this 3-year process was seeing the Cavs go from 0 all-stars in 04', to 2 all-stars in 05' (Lebron, Zydrunas), and then acquiring a 22/6/5 all-defender along with the future COY in 06' (and drafted Varajao).
This is a lot of development over 3 years.. Otoh, Jordan was thrown into the playoffs in Year 1 as eight seed...
But when Jordan had 3 healthy seasons to develop his team (88'), he made the 2nd round just like 06' Lebron.. However, Jordan was carrying an 8 ppg rookie in a conference that required a super-team to win it, while Lebron had a 2-time all-star center and 22/5/5 acquisition in a conference that 1 star teams routinely won.Last edited by 3ba11; 07-09-2021 at 09:52 PM.
