However, sometimes you will choose the most potential rather than the most powerful, such as the magic Howard. At that time, Okafor was the strongest, and Howard had great potential. The Raptors' top pick this year, Bagnani, is a person with great potential.
There is also the case of choosing the wrong person, such as olowokandi, who can be said to be the most talented scholar.
So the top scholar is not necessarily the strongest, but the first person selected.
