The #1 overall pick is supposed to change a franchise forever. A future superstar. A guaranteed cornerstone. But NBA history has proven that isn’t always how things play out.

In this video, I compare every #1 overall NBA Draft pick since 2010 against the player who ACTUALLY became the best player in their class.

From Anthony Bennett vs Giannis… to Deandre Ayton vs Luka and Shai… to the legendary Jokic Taco Bell draft commercial… some of these draft decisions aged horribly while others completely changed the league forever.

We’re talking MVPs, championships, busts, generational talents, and some of the biggest “what ifs” in NBA history.
