First overall pick

The first overall pick is the top selection in a sports draft, typically awarded to the team that performed the worst in the previous season. This team gets to choose the most highly regarded new player entering the league. Being the first overall pick is prestigious because it indicates the team values this player highly, hoping they will significantly improve the team's competitiveness. It’s often viewed as an opportunity to acquire a future star, impact the team's success, and build for the future.
