Best all-time NBA draft
Here's a novel idea: looking at the all-time best picks at each draft slot, i.e. the best #1 pick overall of all-time, the best #2 pick overall, the best #3 pick overall, etc. The best #11 pick ever? Indiana drafting Reggie Miller out of UCLA in 1987. But what's really interesting is that two other prolific UCLA shooters were drafted at #11, both of whom had very productive NBA careers: Keith (Jamaal) Wilkes in 1974 and Kiki Vandeweghe in 1980. This trio combined for 43 years of NBA service. Wow.

So what's the lesson here? Well, Orlando picks #11 this year. Dijon Thompson is a shooting guard out of UCLA, so perhaps the Magic should consider picking him...(just a joke).
