Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 4750010, member: 11252"] It's interesting, whenever there is a question of who should be picked first vs second, the team 90 percent of the time who picks first gets it right. I'm not sure if it's supreme scouting or media making it to be more of a debate than it really is but I do think more often than not the player chosen number one has a more decorated career than the player chosen 2. Although, I'm thinking a lot of the NBA in the last 20 years (Derrick Rose v Michael Beasley, John Wall v Evan Turner, Lebron v Melo, Dwight v Okafor). The biggest exception is KD and Oden. On the women's side the one that always comes to mind is DT vs Alana Beard. I know Candace Parker v Sylvia Fowles was a little bit of a thing and then Maya Moore vs Liz Cambage. Still the number one pick seems to have more of an impact. [/QUOTE]
