The trivia question today, what team won the NBA championship the quickest after having the overall #1 pick in the draft?
My guess is Tim Duncan.
OKC picked Jalen Williams from Santa Clara with the #12 overall pick in the 2022 draft. Scored 21.7 ppg in the NBA playoffs for OKC, 18.7 last year's playoffs. Finished 2nd in Rookie of the Year voting in 2022.
