Would 19 year old Lebron go no. 1 in the 2023 draft? (alien.top)

If Lebron was a couple of decades younger, and was coming into the league ahead of this season (after a year of either dominating college basketball, or making grown men cry in the G-League), would he have gone No.1 ahead of Wembenyama?

Would he have gotten the same type of hype in 2023 as he did in 2003, and if so, would that have been enough to get picked over the 7'4 Frenchman?

Yes, Lebron would've grown up watching late 2010s basketball, and would most likely be a slightly better shooter coming into the league

19 year old LeBron would go number 1 in the past 20 years of NBA drafts and possibly the next 20 years of NBA drafts.

We are in the middle of the season and we still are getting flooded by these bullshit off season karma farming attempts.

Just makes me want to leave the sub.

Imagine 19 y/o with this much space and shooting around him

19yr old LeBron goes #1 in any draft, ever.
