If James and Jordan take part in the same draft, who will be the top pick?
Personally, LeBron James is more likely to be the number one scholar. Although Jordan's achievements are unparalleled, they are more achievements after entering the NBA. But the NBA draft considers the performance of players before entering the NBA and the potential of players. In this respect, LeBron James is better than Jordan in both physical condition and personal talent, which is beyond doubt.
Before entering the NBA, Jordan was not the best college student in America. Although he helped the University of North Carolina win the NCAA championship, at that time, no one could have imagined that Jordan could achieve such high achievements in the future. 1984 draft, Michael Jordan only won the third place in the first round. Olajuwon, the champion at that time, was a giant in the whole American basketball world, with excellent basketball steps and strong blocking ability. The second candidate, Sam Bauer, was later proved to be a parallel import, but his performance in college was excellent. He used to be the first high school student in the United States, which also proved that the NBA draft at that time was based on standards, and the performance of players in high school and university occupied more factors.
Let's take a look at when James participated in the draft. Old Zhan didn't enter the university, but jumped directly into the NBA from high school. Before entering the NBA, James was the first high school student in America. Before he took part in the NBA draft, he had locked in the position of the number one scholar in advance. During James' four-year high school career, his resume can be said to be very brilliant. High school led St. Mary's High School to win the state championship with 27 wins. James successfully defended his title when he was a sophomore in senior high school, and was also selected for the first team of senior three and senior four in the United States.
James once again led St. Mary's High School to win a state runner-up and a champion, and won three champions and a runner-up in his four-year high school career. At that time, James was very popular in America, and even O 'Neill went to watch James' game, which proved how talented James was. So if James and Jordan take part in the draft together, there is no doubt that James is more likely to be elected as the No.1 scholar.
