    Default Your franchises all-time "First round draft pick" roster - Could it win a title?

    I'll go first. Cavaliers all-time first round draft lineup:

    PG Kyrie Irving 1st pick 2011
    SG Ron Harper 8th pick 1986
    SF Mike Mitchel 15th pick 1978
    PF LeBron James 1st pick 2003
    C Brad Daugherty 1st pick 1986

    On the bench:

    PG Kevin Johnson 7th pick 1987
    SG Austin Carr 1st pick 1971
    SF Andrew Wiggins 1st pick 2014
    PF Tristan Thompson 4th pick 2011
    C Zydrunas Ilgauskus 20th pick 1996

    HM Collin Sexton 8th pick 2018 draft - probably interchangeable with Austin Carr

    I'd say it's got the talent and depth on paper to win a title but I'm not sure it's got the chemistry with how particular the game is played right now being so 3ball centric. Some of you guys that know your franchises better, can your team beat a team like this and/or win an NBA championship only with its best first round draft picks?

    Bro the Sixers!!!!? You don't need to tank that's got to be one of the best all-time first round pick teams I can think of

    AI
    Simmons
    Andrew Toney
    Iguodala
    Bill Cunningham
    Charles Barkley
    Embiid

    All first rounders, why no faith in those guys?

    My question with Bill Russell and the Celtics is would be be allowed on the Celtics roster? He was drafted by the St. Louis Hawks, but essentially his draft rights were traded to the Celtics.

    Anyways...

    PG: Chauncey Billups
    SG: Len Bias
    SF: Larry Bird
    PF: Kevin McHale
    C: Bill Russell

    Bench:
    PG: I guess Marcus Smart. Not a lot to choose from for 1st round PGs
    SG: Paul Pierce, Jaylen Brown
    SF: John Havlichek, Jayson Tatum
    PF: Tommy Heinsohn
    C: Dave Cowens

    There is no way to win title but we could attend playoffs if the coach is Obradovic.

    PG: Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
    SG: Bogdan Bogdanovic
    SF: Bojan Bogdanovic
    PF: Nemanja Bjelica
    C: Ekpe Udoh

    Bench:
    PG: Nando de Colo
    SG: İbrahim Kutluay
    SF: Marko Guduric
    PF: Jan Vesely
    C: Ömer Aşık

    +: Nicolo Melli
    +: Brad Wanamaker
    +: Willie Solomon

    Also Enes Kanter but I dont want him on the team.

    I know some of them are not first round but you could appreciate it because it is an international team.

    Laugh all you want, the Nets all time draft pick rosters are so shit that they may not even be able to win 50 games in a regular season.

    Does Wilt count for the Warriors? He was a territorial pick

    Also would Vince Carter count then? He was drafted by Warriors but traded to the Raptors on draft day
