As we approach the 2020 NBA Draft, we look back and rank the top overall draft picks of the last decade.

NBA Draft season is an exciting time for fans everywhere. It’s often the lone part of the NBA calendar year in which every team in the league has, at the very least, some hope for their favorite team. Even if your team is coming off a season to forget, the draft is the one place where it could all change on a dime.

We’ve seen it time and time before, and we’re going to see it again. Whether the 2020 NBA Draft will provide that opportunity for any team remains to be seen, although over the last decade we’ve seen a number of top overall draft picks almost single-handedly change the course of franchises.

From Zion Williamson (2019 top overall pick) to John Wall (2010 top overall pick), there are many players over the last 10 years that have left their mark in the NBA.

Looking back, we will rank each of the top overall draft picks in the last 10 years.
