WHAT ARE WIN SHARES? A metric developed by Basketball-Reference.com, win shares is an all-in-one stat used to measure a player's total production for his team. One win share represents a player's total contributions on offense and defense that result in one win.

WHAT ABOUT TERRITORIAL PICKS? Territorial picks, where teams could claim players from nearby colleges up until 1966, included stars like Wilt Chamberlain (247.3 win shares), Paul Arizin (108.8), Elgin Baylor (104.2) and Ed Macauley (100.4). They were not factored into the selection count of the draft and aren't ranked here.
