    I started out trying to come up with names for the top 10 that hadn't already been mentioned in the thread, then got a little punch-drunk as I stayed up past my bedtime looking for all 60.

    No. Mark Price was one of the best PGs of his era.

    I know Shaq is great, and so isn't hakkem but the best first overall pic has to be Kareem, the dude was a beast

    And there are so many better players taken at 2 then Kevin Durant easily.

    10. Willis Reed
    12. Julius Erving
    13. Karl Malone
    14. Clyde Drexler
    16. John Stockton

    great thread. but so many choices. and often no right or wrong ones.

    maybe the op should limit it to something like since 1980?

    i vaguely remember stockton was drafted in the mid-teen's. if 16 is indeed where he was drafted at, then i think at least we have that number locked in.

    I'm pretty sure Wade was the 5th pick not 4th. Bosh was the number 4 pick. I could be wrong though

    You´re right, Wade was 5th and Bosh 4th.
    Wikipedia has all nba drafts and picks, you might look up to that ones.

    How do you come onto a Rockets board and have Shaq as the best #1 over Hakeem? How, as a basketball fan in general, do you have him over Magic & Kareem??

    If we only count current players:

    1. Shaquille O'Neal
    2. Jason Kidd
    3. Chauncey Billups
    4. Rasheed Wallace
    5. Kevin Garnett
    6. Brandon Roy
    7. Rip Hamilton
    8. Andre Miller (!)
    9. Dirk Nowitzki
    10. Paul Pierce

    Seems like #6, #7, #8 have the weakest alumni among current players.

    Durant at 2? You definitely can tell the age of the op.
