Who should be No. 1 draft pick?
Poll of fans shows ‘Other' at top of the list over Beasley and Rose

through No. 14 for the June 26 draft.

Oden-Durant arguably is the most blatant either-or scenario in NBA Draft history.

Oden and Durant were clearly the top two prospects last year.

More than a few scouts have claimed this year's draft is an either-or between Beasley and Rose.

Following are other drafts that could be considered as an either-or.
