Best 1st Draft Pick of all time:


Now Let's go with the next voting process-

Best 2nd Draft Pick of all time:
While I'll give an honorble mention to Isiah Thomas,

This one goes to KD imo.
Edit: Like many others, I had no idea Bill was a 2nd pick. Going with him.

Kevin Durant - 2
Isiah Thomas - 2
J.Kidd - 1
Bill Russell- 6

Weird how historically the second best player was usually not drafted second in their draft class. I would say Jason Kidd or Zeke. I'll go with the one with the championship

[Lord P]

Isiah Thomas
Won championships and generally regarded as a top 10 if not top 5 pg of all time

I know right?
It seems there's no real -heavy- spot beside the 1st one.
Other then that it kinda splits evenly with all time greats going in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th and so on.

uh guys Bill Russell...(granted I had to look that up). HM for jerry west.

[Smoke117]

Jason Kidd...Durant hasn't done enough yet. ^^^ If we are going to go all the way back to that era though...then I guess it has to be Bill.

[tpols]

for now its J-Kidd to me

[Big164]

Bill Russell

[Nilocon165]

Hmmmm lets see.

Isiah Thomas:

2 Rings
1 FMVP
Once scored 43 in a finals game while limping on the court

Kevin Durant:

0 Rings
0 FMVP
Once blew a 3-1 series lead in the WCF

Gonna go with Isiah.

EDIT:

Oh shit Russell was a 2 pick?

Change it to Bill.

[sunnyboy91]

I'd have to go with Kevin 'The Servant" Durbeta but closely followed by Thomas and Payton

[Crystallas]

Russell was technically the 3rd pick, because the rules worked differently with territorial selections.

[Milbuck]

KD.

[Human Error]

A lot of all time greats were no.2 picks.

Bill Russell
Bob Pettit
Jerry West
Bob McAdoo
Rick Barry
Isiah Thomas
Alonzo Mourning
Gary Payton
Jason Kidd
Kevin Durant

I would nominate the 2nd picks who turned out to be undoubtely better than the year's 1st picks as final candidates - Russell, Pettit, Durant stand out for me. Anyway the answer is rather easy with Bill Russell.

[SpaceJam]

Bill

[BigKAT]

Bill russel was 2nd pick?

Damn.

Changing mine too.
