I have not revised this based on history, which is obvious because of some of my choices but here is who I would have picked on pure basketball ability. I am also throwing out marketability, because I clearly would have picked LeBron James on marketability alone.

I'll also throw in my opinion for this year for good measure.

2007 - Greg Oden
2006 - Brandon Roy
2005 - Chris Paul
2004 - Emeka Okafor
2003 - Dwyane Wade
2002 - Caron Butler
2001 - Eddie Griffin (man was I wrong on this one)
2000 - Kenyon Martin
1999 - Andre Miller
1998 - Vince Carter
1997 - Tim Duncan

Looks like I only agreed with the number one pick in the draft 3 times (assuming Oden goes 1st).
