Why the No. 1 Pick Changes EVERYTHING + Drafting the Last 25 No. 1 Picks
About this episode
Alex Golden is joined by David Cole for a deep dive into the importance of the No. 1 overall pick and why Pacers fans are hoping for lottery luck.
The guys start by examining how the best odds for the No. 1 pick have historically played out, and why landing at the top of the draft can be truly franchise-altering.
They also discuss:
- Who Indiana would select if they landed the No. 1 pick
- How this year’s class fits into the conversation
- What separates a good No. 1 pick from a great one
Then, the episode takes a fun turn.
Alex and David go head-to-head in a snake draft, selecting 20 players from the last 25 No. 1 overall picks to build out two full teams.
A mix of history, projection and competition centered around the most valuable pick in the NBA Draft.
