:lolbron: We just gonna gloss over this blatantly wrong piece of info that was your foundation for this thread

Lebron
Kyrie
AD
Wall
KD
Harden
Love
Melo
Russ
Boogie

All picked before 6

That's 10 players out of the 25 picked this year aka 40%. And Hayward, Kemba, PG, DeMar, and Steph were all still top 10 picks so that's 60% of the field who were top prospects
I was thinking the same thing breh. Like, 95% is all but 1 or 2 players out of 24. Bron, KD and Anthony Davis immediately came to mind as top 2 picks, then reading this whole list:lolbron:

They tanked like crazy to get LeBron :wtf:

And your point about the all-stars is :wtf: as well, out of the 25 players 16 of them were lottery picks :ld:
No, they didn't. The franchise hasn't been in the playoffs in several years before the acquistion of Lebron James. The franchise was so terribly awful in the east.:picard:

Leading up to LeBron the Cavs were -

30-52
29-53

And then the year of LeBron's draft they were 17-65. Why are yall trying revisionist history with this one?

Ex-coach Lucas: Cavs tanked to draft LeBron


The Cavs invited him to a workout when he was 17 and a JUNIOR, and later fined $150,000 they knew what he was long before anyone else and made sure to be as bad as possible the year of his draft.

Just a few more players in the top ten in their drafts:

:shaq::mjlol::deadrose::aicmon: Kareem, Magic, Larry, Duncan, Wade, Dwight, Curry, and Patrick Chewing. High picks are what you need for building block type players.
