This is fantasy. Suppose these are the top players of THIS CURRENT DRAFT that’s a week away. Also, let’s say you had NO IDEA what their true potential was and that they’ve never played an NBA game before.

Where do you think they’d get drafted in the first round of this draft?

MJ, Bird, Magic, Olajuwon, Shaq, kareem, bill russell, erving, Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Garnett, Duncan, Dr. J, Pippen, Jerry West, Moses Malone, Karl Malone, Oscar Robertson, Wilt, Barkley, Lebron, Wade, Embiid, Wiggins, J. Parker, Durant, Iverson, David Robertson, Dirk, and James Worthy.  (I believe that’s 30 players).

(Again, remember that they’ve never played an NBA game before, so their true potential is supposed to be disguised. Where would they get drafted?)

Not David Robertson. NBADRAFT won’t let me edit this.

I’ll just do a top 5, basing it only on the players as prospects:

1.  Wilt –   physical FREAK

2.  Shaq-  same reason…

3.  David Robinson-  ultra skilled and athletic big man

4.  Kareem-  unstoppable offensive force

5.  Olajuwon-  one of the best big man prospects ever

Obviously I’m going big because great centers are way harder to find then every other position.

 This is almost impossible to do. Taking out from our minds what we know or have been told about them. But Based on the eye test only i’d being looking for Big physical freaks first and foremost:

1.Shaq

2.Wilt

3.Kareem

4.Duncan

5.Olajuwon

6.Robinson

7. Lebron

8.Moses

But again, this is an impossible scenario to do without bias.

[WhodunitParticipant]

 And based on this being out of 30 players. The current trio of prospect would fall somewhere around:

 

Embid: 12-16

Wiggins: 14-22

Parker: 24-30

I think Kareem would go #1 just based on his unstoppable college career at UCLA.

From there Magic is looking good at #2, and Wilt #3, Shaq #4 for pure dominant centres.

Lebron would round out the top 5 just based off his sheer size and athleticism.

From there we have 6-10: Worthy, Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson, Duncan (all big men except Worthy who was dominant in college)

From 11-15: Big O, Iverson, Russell, Thomas, Bird

From 16-20: MJ, Durant, West, Moses Malone, and Jabari Parker

From 21-25: Dr J, Wiggins, KG, Embiid, Dirk

and finally rounding out the first round: Pippen, Wade, Barkley, Karl Malone and John Stockton
