HoopsHype ranks the 23 best NBA draft picks in league history, featuring Nikola Jokic, Kobe Bryant, Jalen Brunson and much more.
Given that it’s draft week, we thought it’d be a fun time to look at some of the top picks in NBA history. We’ve compiled a list of the 21 best draft selections ever, featuring some huge names who slipped on draft night to become stars for their teams.
There’s an obvious selection to go first overall in this ranking, and that’s a certain Serbian three-time league MVP, but even after the 2023 Finals MVP, there are some very fun names on this list.

HoopsHype’s 2024 NBA mock draft lists the top prospects and includes reporting on free agency for Paul George and Tyrese Maxey, Zach LaVine trade talks, and more from Senior NBA Inside Michael Scotto.
HoopsHype has gathered the latest intel across the league and updated where the top prospects currently stand for the 2024 NBA Draft by compiling 11 mock drafts from ESPN, The Athletic, Bleacher Report, The Ringer, NBA Big Board, Yahoo Sports, CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, SB Nation, NBADraft.net, and USA TODAY’s For The Win.

NOTE: These rankings reflect the composite score to get a feel for the overall consensus, not our own opinion. For example, if a player was the first pick on a publication’s mock draft, he received 60 points. If a player was second, he received 59 points, and so on. We then tabulated the total number of points for each player’s consensus ranking.
