Number one draft picks are on our mind today. Why you ask? Good question. During our daily search for interesting trivia topics on Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida, we usually start with this day in history to get ideas. Sometimes this is fruitful and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes we have to stretch an event to come up with a good idea. Today is one of those days but we think we have a good one. For example, today is Karl-Anthony Towns' birthday. We would not normally spend much time on that fact, if any at all. However, he was a former number one pick of the NBA draft. So, for Trivia today we will quiz our audience on former number one draft picks. See how that works? That was a peak behind the curtain of our radio show. Enjoy and good luck!
