2020 Annual All-Time NBA Draft

What's the lowest first pick someone has got and won in these?


Really should do a more fair draft and do the 3rd round reverse order as well before regular snake.

I made back-to-back Finals in 2017 and 2018 with the 11th pick and 13th pick. Lost to Jordan both times though. There was a period of time where the team with Jordan never won one of these. Since then the team with Jordan has made the Finals 5 times in a row since 2015 and has won 3 times.

2015 - 2nd pick vs 1st pick (1st pick won)
2016 - 4th pick vs 1st pick (4th pick won)
2017 - 11th pick vs 1st pick (1st pick won)
2018 - 13th pick vs 1st pick (1st pick won)
2019 - 9th pick vs 1st pick (9th pick won)

2015 the 2nd pick had another 1st round pick, 2017 the 1st pick had another 1st round pick, and 2019 the 9th pick had another 1st round pick.

I got ****ing robbed in 2017 because I went against a Jordan/Olajuwon pairing. I would have easily been the lowest pick to ever win this thing.

The biggest takeaway from this should don’t trade your first round pick.

2/5 teams that won picked 4th or lower and really should be 3/5. It is crazy that the team with the 1st pick has made the Finals 5 years in a row though. Hopefully that changes this year.

I was in the finals with the last pick in the last one. Obviously got screwed and didnt win.
 
I've won with the 9th pick.

No, you were the 4th pick. You leveraged that into 2 1st round picks though. Same thing I did when I won in 2018 current players.

Edit: maybe I'm looking at the wrong one though.

I'm meaning what's the lowest draft position assigned that won it all. Not got close. I should also include and someone wasn't stupid and gave you another 1st round pick, haha.

That's not the year I'm talking about. I started with the 9th pick, selected at 9, and had no other 1st round picks.

A new rule I want to implement:

Any time you make a trade, DM me the details. This will make it easier for me to keep the OP updated.
I like that rule.

Also, I’m going to DM you my cell phone # so that you can text me when I’m on the clock. I’ve found that it’s helpful in moving things along smoothly, and I won’t need much time to make each of my picks.

I’d suggest that everyone consider doing that as well.
