There have been 30 #1 over-all picks in the NBA since 1982. What follows is my mock-draft of those picks. The players are selected with full knowledge of what they're careers turned out to be, injury plagued, off-court issues, championships, ect. Obvioulsy, recent picks have less of a body of work to judge from. Not a lot of research (i.e. none) went into this, it's purely from the hip.
