The guys start by looking at the flattened lottery odds era, examining how the team with the third-worst record has performed in recent draft lotteries and what that could mean moving forward. Then, they take a trip through history — reviewing every No. 3 overall pick since 2001, highlighting the hits, misses and everything in between. To make things even more fun, Alex and Facci go head-to-head in a draft, selecting players taken No. 3 overall to build their own starting five and a sixth man. Plus, Alex puts Facci to the test with a question about the Indiana Pacers’ history with the No. 3 pick.","meta_description":"Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back with a fun and informative deep dive into the history of the No. 3 overall pick.
