Would you draft a 16 years old LeBron as the first overall pick in 2001?

He had a solid sophomore season in high school. And he played against Ron Artest and even became a teammate of Jordan in a pickup game. Watching his highlights LeBron was NBA ready in 2001".

If my choices are between him and Kwame, then him easily. But without the benefit of hindsight, you'd have a hard time convincing me to use my first overall pick on a 16 year old.

he was already a cant-miss prospect at that time, so yes.

Sure. He wouldn't be the best player but you do it just to lock him in.

Yes and entice him with a 15 year $100 million contract. Figure out the rest of the team >>>> profit

No one wanted MJ until he was 21. Even then, he wasn't the preferred option over Sam Bowie.
