The Truth About the No. 2 Overall Pick | NBA Draft History Deep Dive
About this episode
Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back with a deep dive into the history and value of the No. 2 overall pick.
The guys start by examining how the second-worst record in the NBA has fared under the flattened lottery odds, and what that could mean for the Pacers.
Then, they zoom out and take a broader look at the history of the No. 2 pick, discussing how often teams actually land a franchise-changing player in that spot.
To wrap things up, Alex ranks the seven most recent No. 2 overall picks, evaluating where they stand today and projecting their futures to determine who truly belongs at the top of the list.
A mix of history, analytics and projection to better understand what landing at No. 2 really means for Indiana.
