You should exclude top-10 picks. Lebron doesn't spring to mind as a value pick at #1. He couldn't have gone any higher. Any what about Ben Wallace? undrafted?

Good point about Ben Wallace. It is a weakness for this methodology, since it would require the calculation of average points, rebounds and assists of all undrafted players. I think it's justified to have Lebron in there. He's just far above what you normally get at No.1 pick, thus making him a value pick.

I totally agree with nymous on LeBron- if he's exceeded the average player at his pick by that much, he should be here, period. And regardless, this is a really good quiz, nymous.

Darn, I missed a couple of guys because I thought that only one player per year was included. Maybe I should have done some math before, though. *facepalm*
