Arizona has produced two No. 1 overall draft picks in the history of the four major professional sports.

Scottsdale’s Auston Matthews was taken with the top pick of the NHL draft last June.

He joined an elite list. The only other Arizona native to go No. 1 in a major sports draft was former ASU baseball and Apollo High school standout Bob Horner.

Horner went first overall in the 1978 MLB draft.

The state of Arizona has never produced a No. 1 pick in the NBA or the NFL.

Former Arizona Wildcats and Phoenix Shadow Mountain standout Mike Bibby went No. 2 in the NBA draft in 1998.

Former Chandler High standout Dion Jordan went third overall in the NFL draft in 2013.

Arizona has produced many Top 10 picks in the various sports over the years.

Joining Bibby in the NBA as Top 10 picks: Sean Elliott, who went third overall in 1989 (Arizona, Tucson Cholla High) and Channing Frye, who went eighth overall in 2005 (Arizona, Phoenix St. Mary’s High).
