Which tense is correct please?

Which tense is correct please? How would you phrase this if it is wrong?

He is the first overall NBA pick to take/have taken (the) longest (amount of time/number of minutes) to score a point professionally, 3 times as long as any previous number one overall pick.


Thank you
