    I wonder who Dream would pick.

    Curry?
    Beasley?
    LerBon?

    The Kwame answer was a decent one. If pre-draft he showed signs of athleticism (as compared to other draftees) at such a young age then it would be justifiable to pick him. But, alas, it was a mistake.

    As for the Dream, no reason needed: legends acknowledge legends. Imagine if they played together. How many rings would they have? Wow.

    Thanks for the share OP. You deserve a rep.

    I remember there was a popular theory back then that Jordan destroyed Kwame's self confidence, too. He may have developed into a better played under someone who meshed better with his personality.

    The correct answer is Lin.

    We're trying to not state the obvious here. Lin makes anything unfair, so basically aside from Lin, who would be second best to be picked.

    Jordan can only dream (no pun intended) to have fans as loyal and dedicated as Lin's.

    I remember in Kwame's second or maybe 3rd season I caught a game in DC where the dude put up 30 and 20, he looked incredible, I thought that would be the beginning of him living up to the hype but nope.

    I think there is some truth to the confidence issue for sure.

    Maybe. It really depends on the type of training and motivation given. Does he need tough love or otherwise? When the GOAT drafted him, he should've expected the responsibilities that go with it. But then again, we don't know if the theory is true as of the moment.
