On October 18th, the NBA preseason has reached its final game. After today's preseason, each team will make some adjustments and look at the regular season. The performance of Flagg, the new No. 1 pick this season, is worth looking forward to. After all, he is a new generation of American sons. Generally speaking, the number one pick with such a title has a high future ceiling. As the No. 1 pick is the strongest in the league, how many No. 1 picks have each team had? Let’s take a look.

≤3 teams with No. 1 picks

The Grizzlies and Raptors have had three No. 1 picks, and the Pelicans have had two. The Pacers have not had a No. 1 pick in team history. The reason why the Pacers have never had a No. 1 pick in the history of the team is that their team has never failed. This is their team culture. In addition, it is difficult for a small ball market to introduce big-name stars, so the Pacers have not had a No. 1 pick in the history of the Pacers. In fact, neither the Grizzlies nor the Raptors have any top No. 1 picks. They are also small ball markets. The Grizzlies have had Iverson, Bargnani and Kwame Brown in their late years.

The Raptors are Bargnani and Bennett. The Raptors are located in cold Toronto, and Leonard was unwilling to stay after winning the championship here. It is difficult to retain big-name stars here. I guess many fans know that the two Pelicans are Brother Big Eyebrow and Zion. Neither of them has brought glory to the Pelicans. Big Eyebrow once led the team to the second round of the playoffs. Zion is still a sick man so far, and his attendance rate is too low.

≤6 teams with No. 1 picks

The Suns, Heat, Hornets and Jazz have all had 4 No. 1 picks. The Suns had previously owned center Ayton, who is now the Lakers. This was the No. 1 pick they selected in 2018. The Heat have had O'Neal and James, both of whom have brought them championships, and now the team also has Wiggins. The top picks who have played for the Hornets include Larry Johnson. The Heat can be said to be the most successful among their four teams. Their success is thanks to Riley and the two super top picks.

The Magic, Nuggets and Trail Blazers all have five top picks who have played for them. The top picks selected by the Magic are very outstanding, such as O'Neal, Howard and now Banchero. However, I feel that they have always been trained for the Lakers. I hope Banchero can keep it. The Nuggets have had No. 1 picks such as Allen Iverson and Skywalker David Thompson. Although there is only one championship in team history, big-name stars cannot do it. The Trail Blazers have had famous No. 1 picks such as Bill Walton and Oden.

The Spurs, Bulls and Thunder have all had six No. 1 picks. The No. 1 picks in the history of the Spurs have all helped them achieve success, such as Duncan and General Robinson, and it is estimated that Wenban will be no exception. The most famous No. 1 pick in the history of the Bulls is Rose. This is the youngest MVP in history. For a time, Chicago fans felt the hope of rebuilding their glory. The Thunder have had David Thompson, Joe Smith and Ewing, these relatively well-known No. 1 picks, play for them.

≤10 No. 1 picks

There have been 10 No. 1 picks in the history of the Cavaliers, and their team is also very lucky. James left that year, and ended up winning 3 No. 1 picks in 4 years. Irving, Bennett and Wiggins, James also played before, plus Doherty and others, there are enough big-name stars in the history of the Cavaliers. The 8 number one picks include the Mavericks. In recent years, the Mavericks have won many number one picks, such as Flagg, Irving and Big Eyebrow. In their team history, they have also had No. 1 picks such as Aguirre.

The nine top picks include: Celtics, Rockets, Nets and Clippers. The Celtics cheated a bit. Bird and Bill Russell both had the ability to become the top pick back then, but they cheated and won them with a lower pick. The Rockets have had No. 1 picks such as Olajuwon, Yao Ming, Thorpe and Hayes. The Clippers have had Griffin, Danny Manning, Captain Brand, Bob McAdoo, etc. After all, it is a big ball market, and it is easier to recruit stars. As for the Nets, because of Xiao Zeng, I don’t want to talk about them at all.

≤14 No. 1 picks

Both the Kings and Bucks have had 12 No. 1 picks in their history. The most famous No. 1 pick in the history of the Kings should be Oscar Robertson, the first triple-double king in history. The most famous No. 1 pick in the history of the Bucks is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Big O also played here back then. The Hawks have 14 No. 1 picks. The Hawks are one of the oldest teams in NBA history. It is normal for them to have played for many No. 1 picks, but it was not until 24 years that they selected the first No. 1 pick in team history, Lisa Shee.

The Wizards, Knicks and Warriors all have 13. The Wizards have had No. 1 picks such as Elvin Hayes and Wall. Although the Wizards only have one championship in their team history, there are also many big names who have played for them. The most famous No. 1 pick in the history of the Knicks must be Ewing, one of the best centers in history. They also have Towns, the No. 1 pick, playing for the team. The Warriors have had three No. 1 picks in their history, but none of them were good. The best was Joe Smith. They won Wiggins, the No. 1 pick in 2014.

≤21 No. 1 picks

The Lakers have had 21 No. 1 picks in their history. They have so many. In addition to their own selections, there are also imported ones. As the team that likes to recruit big-name stars the most in the history of the league, it is reasonable for them to have so many. Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, James, Howard and Worthy are too many. The 76ers and Pistons both have 15. The 76ers have had Iverson, Ben Simmons, Fultz, etc., and the Pistons have had Cunningham, Bob Lanier, etc.

Having said that, what do you want to say about these top picks? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
