    I don’t know how many of you feel when it comes to the draft every year where there happens to be a consensus choice for the #1 overall, but I for one actually prefer a draft where we don’t know who the pick will be. The only downside to not having a consensus #1 draft is that it will hurt mock projections if you get the pick wrong. Although people get bummed out about not knowing, it puts more suspense on a draft such as this years class with Noel, McLemore, and Porter who all are a toss up for the selection with the option to trade the pick. Knowing who the #1 pick is every year is no different than knowing that the NFL will project a QB #1 every year in the draft which gets old and boring. Another thing is when there is likely to be a draft with no clear cut choice, we will possibly see more trades which is something I like to look forward to.

    Do you prefer a draft where there is a clear cut #1 pick or not and why?

    I would much rather have an obvious number 1 pick. Yes, draft night itself isn’t as exciting, but that means that a future all-star is going to a place where he will have an immediate impact and that we get to see this consensus #1 player right away as a starter.

    I love drafts with no consensus #1 because it’s so unpredictable and fun. Last years draft was predictable and boring to be honest, except for the cavs who actually made it interesting.

    I wonder which produces better ratings, but I’d have to go with a draft with a consensus #1.

    What I really like is when there’s a clear top 2 and either of them could go first. That gives kind of a fun 50/50 aspect to it. Having a consensus #1 pick is kind of boring as far as trying to make a mock goes. However a year like this where about 5 people could go first I don’t like that at all, it’s way too much of a guessing game. Mock drafts are going to be brutal this year.

    Well it depends of the reason there is no clear number 1…this year there isnt any because there are a no franchise players at the top.If I was a cavs fan,id much rather a draft with a clear cut number 1,instead of wondering which number 3 or 4 option to draft…
    As a general fan,i can see the appeal of no number 1s,if there are couple possible franchise players at the top.
