Had me thinking. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be an NBA GM with the number one draft pick, because I think I would do a poor job. These are the guys I though should be the number one picks.

2007: Greg Oden (still could be right about that one)
2006: Brandon Roy
2005: Chris Paul
2004: Emeka Okafor (man I really missed on Dwight Howard)
2003: Lebron James (however, I only pick him on marketing reasons. You could not pass on him for that reason alone. On talent I would have drafted Wade)
2002: Caron Butler
2001: Eddie Griffin (This would have been the all time draft bust if I was picking here. Not sure what the Hell I was thinking)
2000: Kenyon Martin (Also, I had a really tough decision over whether Quintin Richardson or Martin should go first)
1999: Andre Miller
1998: Tim Duncan

So there you have it, proof why I shouldn't be an NBA GM. I'm not sure anyone will stack up much better.
