Wembanyama to San Antonio a few years back is another one that everyone saw coming.

Didn't see this one with Dallas, but it's always teams in large markets or advantageous situations for the league getting the #1 pick, unless it's a really weak draft, in which case teams like Atlanta or Charlotte get their turn(s).

Fun fact: Denver, Utah, Memphis, Miami, Indianapolis, and Oklahoma City have never had the #1 overall pick. Charlotte had the #1 once very early in their franchise's history. The Atlanta Hawks have been around since 1968 and have been pretty terrible but only had the #1 twice-- 1975 and 2024 (when no one was interested in a trade).
