#3 Ben Simmons
Despite his 2021 postseason flop, Ben Simmons is still one of the best No.1 NBA draft picks. In the past four campaigns, the 76ers guard has already been an All-Star three times, an NBA All-Defense team member twice, an All-NBA player and a Rookie of the Year.
Simmons is one of the best all-round players in the league, and runs the Philly offense through his playmaking and shot creation. In his career so far, he has averaged 15.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists. Defense, however, is where the 25-year-old receives most of his plaudits as a player who can truly guard one through five. Simmons arguably could have been named Defensive Player of the Year for the 2020-21 season but lost out narrowly to Rudy Gobert.
#2 Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving took to the NBA with ease after being drafted first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2011. He put up 18.5 points and 5.4 assists in his first campaign and won 117 of 120 first-place votes for Rookie of the Year.
Since then, Irving's status as one of the league's most-gifted point guards has continued to grow thanks to his mesmerizing handles and efficient scoring. Throughout his ten-year career, the 29-year-old has shot at 47% from the field and 39% from downtown and joined the 50-40-90 club last season.
Irving has been an All-Star on seven occasions, a member of the All-NBA teams three times and helped lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first-ever championship in 2016 with his dagger three late in Game Seven. As part of the Brooklyn Nets' 'Big Three,' Irving will be hoping to add another ring to his collection.
#1 Anthony Davis
If fully fit, Anthony Davis is one of the top five players in the NBA, let alone being among the top five No.1 draft picks since 2010. Davis was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets in 2012 and recorded 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals per game in his rookie campaign.
Despite not winning the Rookie of the Year award, which he lost to Damian Lillard, Davis took his game to another level in his sophomore year and hasn't looked back since. His immense versatility on both ends of the floor makes him one of the league's elite two-way players. Davis has made four All-NBA teams, averaging over 20 points per game in the last eight seasons, and has ranked top for blocks in three campaigns.
After spending seven years in New Orleans, Davis earned his superstar move to the LA Lakers, where he has elevated his status playing alongside LeBron James. Winning his first championship ring in the 2019-20 season, Davis put up 27.7 points and 9.7 rebounds in the playoffs while shooting at 38.8% from deep. The improvement in his three-point accuracy was evident in the 2020 NBA Western Conference Finals, when Davis hit a buzzer-beater three in Game Two against the Denver Nuggets.
