How difficult is it to have three top picks in a team? It has only appeared 7 times in history, and only 2 teams have won the championship

This year's draft is also over. The Mavericks chose Flag with the No. 1 pick without surprise. In addition to Irving and Davis in the team, the Mavericks will also show a three-no. However, there have been many times in history that a team has three-no. It is not possible to win the championship by stacking the No. 1 picks. When we look forward to the Mavericks' results in the new season, let's take a look at what the teams that have formed the No. 3 picks in history have won. In the 1919 offseason, the Lakers got Davis through a big deal. At that time, the Lakers still owned James, so they formed the most luxurious dual core in the league. Howard was far from the peak at that time, and many teams dared not gamble, but the latter recommended himself and impressed the Lakers with sincerity, so the Lakers also had three No. 1 picks. The no-fly zone formed by Davis and Warcraft, coupled with James' connection, the Lakers won the league first this season.

This season encountered the epidemic and played the playoffs in the closed-end park. The Lakers finally overcame heavy pressure and rushed out of the West, and defeated the Heat 4-2 in the finals and won the championship. The three No. 1 picks were still successful, but the Lakers then introduced Westbrook, and the team never had a chemical reaction. Danny Brow and Howard also had a conflict, which caused the Lakers to fail to even make the playoffs, and the three No. 1 picks also disintegrated from then on.

Timberwolves

Timberwolves formed a three-no. In 2015, they completed a deal with the Cavaliers and sent Love to the Cavaliers, getting Wiggins and Bennett, the No. 13 pick, and then selected Towns with the No. 1 pick in 2015, but none of these three players had the leadership temperament. Bennett was undoubtedly a squad. He left the NBA early, and the three No. 1 picks did not achieve any results in the end.

However, the Timberwolves have always built the team around Wiggins and Towns, and got Rose in the 17-18 season. However, Rose was almost out of the ball at this time, but Thibodeau still believed in Rose and led the two young No. 1 picks into the playoffs. However, the team's absolute leader was still Butler. After that, it was not only Wiggins and Towns parted ways, but the team also changed a lot.

Knights

Knights also formed three No. 1 picks twice, but it is not very obvious. In the 16-17 season, James and Irving led the team forward, but Cavaliers Bogut, who was in 2005, also played for the Cavaliers for a short time, playing in only 27 games, because after suffering a major injury last season, he did not have the strength to win the championship center. This season, the Cavaliers did not have the power to fight back against the cosmic courage.

In the 2008-09 season, in order to fool James, the Cavaliers introduced O'Neal in the late year and Joe Smith, the No. 1 pick in 2016. Neither of the former No. 1 picks had the peak strength. Moreover, Joe Smith himself was a blue-collar player. In this way, James still led the team to the playoffs, but he lost to the Magic led by Howard in the East and did not perform the 23 vs 24 scene. The Lakers' first three-nothing lineup in 2018 from 1982 to 1989 dates back to 1982. During the showtime period, the three-nothing team also had a very long cooperation period. The Lakers traded with Jabbar, and the 1979 draft picks obtained by completing the transaction with the Jazz, so they chose the Magic; and the 1982-nothing team won the No. 1 picks signed with the Cavaliers, and since then they formed the three-nothing team.

During their cooperation, the Lakers did not miss the playoffs and won three championships. The FMVPs of these three championships are one of these three. Jabbar retired in 1989, and the Magic retired in 1991. Although he made a brief comeback, his strength is far inferior to the peak. Worthy retired in 1994. It can be said that these three No. 1 picks are the most successful combination of the three No. 1 picks in history.
