There are obvious ones, such as LeBron, Tim Duncan, Hakeem, and Shaq (although I’ve even heard some people claim that Shaq underachieved for a #1 pick).
But I’m curious exactly how many actually have lived up to their #1 pick status. There are some legends like Iverson and Kyrie that you could even question. Curious to hear people’s opinions on this, especially with Victor now in the league.
Shaq might’ve underachieved for what he could’ve been, but he’s one of the greatest first overall picks ever. I think you’re talking about draft day hype, not actual draft position.
