7 NBA teams who have never won the No. 1 pick: The Thunder have outstanding vision and the Nuggets are on the list

Talent represents potential and future, especially on the NBA stage. Throughout the NBA history, the success rate of No. 1 picks is very high, especially historical superstars. Most of them debuted as No. 1 picks, because those talented super newcomers have already shown their strength before entering the NBA. That's why major teams are rushing to win the No. 1 pick, and this year's No. 1 pick belongs to the Mavericks. In NBA history, 7 teams have never won the No. 1 pick. The history of the Jazz is also relatively brilliant, especially around the 1990s, with Malone and Stockton combinations, and entered the finals many times, but never won the championship. However, neither Malone nor Stockton were the No. 1 picks. After entering the 21st century, Delon, Kirilenko, Mitchell and others were all powerful Jazz stars. The team has always had a good performance, but it has never won the No. 1 pick.

Thunder

One of the best teams in the league's draft picks today, Durant, Westbrook and Harden, three MVP-level superstars. Now there are also new stars such as Chetholmgren and Jaylen Williams in the team. The Thunder can always select and train excellent young people, and there is a great chance to hit the championship this year. However, the highest team history is the best pick, and he has never won the No. 1 pick.

Heat

Heat are a very successful team, winning the championship three times, and looking at history, they are all top-notch. There have also been many big-name players in the team history, such as Wade, O'Neal, James and Bosh, but except for Wade, other superstars are basically traded. The Heat had the highest score, and he chose the genius Beasley, but he was unable to realize his talent in the end.

Pacers

Another civilian team, the Pacers and the Jazz, have a certain combat power in each era, and have never been able to stand at the top of the league. In the 1990s, the team was led by Reggie Miller, O'Neal and Artest Jr. were also very strong in the 21st century. After that, George and Hibert, and now Halliburton and Siakam, but the team won the second pick three times and was always one step away from the No. 1 pick. The Nuggets in the small-sized market, before Jokic emerged, the Nuggets' performance was not ideal. He has been at the bottom of the league many times, but not only did he not get the No. 1 pick, he has not even got the No. 1 pick, but he only won the Tanhua Show at the highest level. However, for the Nuggets, choosing Jokic in the second round has made up for all drafts.

Grizzlies

Another small-sized market, the Grizzlies were good in the period of the Black and White Two Bears, but they were never a championship-level team. The Grizzlies have since won the second pick and selected Morant, which is the highest pick the Grizzlies have won. Morant is indeed very strong. He has led the team into the playoffs for many years and is now a super point guard, and his level is no less than that of the No. 1 pick. One of the famous bottom teams in the league, the Hornets did not perform very well in each period, so the Hornets had many high picks, but they only won the second pick at most. The team's ability to train new players is not outstanding enough, so they have never been famous.
