2157985, it's not about the number one pick overall.

the point is that top picks go to the worst teams. look where the best players are drafted:

bron 1
paul 4
durant 2
harden 2
anthony 3
wade 5
bosh 4
griffin 1
duncan 1
westbrook 4

outside of foreigners and some high schoolers, there aren't any superstars who weren't taken that high. you might be able to get a jrue or a brook lopez in the teens, but there are very few superstars available that late. the reward for tanking is tremendous.
