The better question would be if you were a GM and both Jordan and Lebron were in this years draft...
Neither of their NBA careers happened. You are drafting on college and high school careers and skillset.
...who do you draft?
In this scenario, LeBron would be the answer. We have proof that Olajuwon and Bowie could also be ahead of Jordan.
If this were inclusive to all players, neither Jordan or LeBron would be at the top of the list, but it would be an absolutely
fascinating draft to ponder. Alcindor would be the clear #1. Others including Walton, Shaq, Robertson, Sampson, Olowokowandi, Duncan, and Ewing would also be up there.
