5:21pm, 2 September 2025【Basketball】

The most talented players in the NBA draft are basically the No. 1 picks. Most of them have fulfilled their talents, and many of them have even become historical stars. Take the best team in history as an example: Jorford Shark King, except Jordan, are all No. 1 picks. Speaking of this, let’s take a look at the best eight No. 1 picks in active service and rank them in strength. James ranks second. Let’s see if the ranking is reasonable?

Branchero, the eighth class 8

Branchero is the No. 1 pick in the draft for 22 years. He was not favored to be the No. 1 pick at the beginning, but the Magic's keen eye won him. The No. 1 pick was selected as the All-Star in the second year of his career. He has also led the team to the playoffs in the past two seasons. His scoring ability is very outstanding. Although the Magic's space is not good, Bancerro can ignore the space score, which laid the foundation for his future becoming a top scorer. Last season's playoffs averaged 29.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists. He reached this level at the age of 22, and the future is worth looking forward to.

7th Towns

Downs is now considered the top second in the league. Although he has been criticized for being soft, after joining the Knicks, Towns played very tough after being PUA by Thibodeau. He is indeed not suitable to be a big boss, but as a second in charge is a very suitable choice. Towns is one of the best active space players, with both ball and no ball ability. He has the opportunity to lead the Knicks to success in the new season. Towns averaged 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1 steal last season, and his three-point shooting percentage is 42%.

Sixth Cunningham

Cunningham is the No. 1 pick in 21 years. His first choice has also caused a lot of doubts. After all, the second-tier template is Jordan Kobe, and Cunningham has not disappointed the Pistons' expectations. He relies on his outstanding performance to gradually become the top-level ball-holding core. According to the current situation, he will have the opportunity to become a backcourt of Harden and Doncic in the future. One person can support an offensive system. Cunningham can average 26.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1 steal per game last season. He is only 23 years old.

Fifth Irving

If Irving had not suffered a major injury, he would have ranked higher, but considering that Irving was injured, he ranked him in this position. Irving is one of the strongest singles players in active service. He has the most offensive skill packages among point guards. Irving's feel is still at the historical level, so he can make many fake moves that other players cannot do. Irving averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game last season. I hope Irving can recover and return. After all, there are not many players like him who are so talented.

The fourth literary class

The literary class is the No. 1 pick in 23 years. The number of top picks in the draft in the past few years has been very high. The literary class has epoch-making talent. If he continues to play now, he will have the opportunity to become a combination of Durant and Olajuwon in the future. With a height of 2.26 meters and a wingspan of 2.44 meters, he is still very fast. He is now one of the strongest defenders in the league. He will develop offense in the future and will definitely be able to pursue his historical position. This may be the future facade. Last season, he averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 3.8 blocks.

Third Thunder Eyebrow

Although Brother Anthony Eyebrow has been questioned in the past few seasons, his ability is definitely one of the top active players and one of the best inside players. In the past two seasons, his shooting ability has declined, resulting in him not being able to play the level of the championship season. However, his talent is here, he is still very dominant. Last season, Davis averaged 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks per game. In order to get him, the Mavericks even gave Doncic at the top five levels in the league. Does Unexpectedly still have a chance to win the next championship?

Second second James,

, is as strong as James, but now he can only rank second. In fact, considering that James is already 40 years old, his performance in playing is already great. Although James's current ability is far inferior to before, James's skills and experience are still there. With his excellent football quotient, he can still help the team when he goes on the court, but his ability to attack at critical moments is far inferior to before. James averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1 steal last season. As he grows older, his shooting ability is getting better and better, and he is indeed very hardworking.

No. 1 Edwards

Huazi is the No. 1 pick in 20 years. He is the most opportunity to compete with the literary team for the league. Edwards has a great star temperament and is very confident. Edwards is the most powerful player in the active service with three-pointers and excellent top shot ability. He has been learning Durant's style of play before, and his mid-range distance is also very stable. In addition, his ball-holding breakthrough is even more powerful. He became the No. 1 pick with such talent back then, and he averaged 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game last season.
