They were all coolies and sappers, maybe role players for the rest of their lives, but they did a great job of what others didn't want to do, and it proved important, so they proved that a draft was really blind.
"Congratulations bro! But when I got in the car, I would cry. ”
This sentence is Bazemore's signing with the Lakers this summer, posting his own training results, Curry left a poignant comment, if you watch the Warriors' regular season last season, you will find the important impact of Bazemore on the court and off the court.
Bazemore studied at the old Dominion University, the university's basketball strength is not very good, Bazemore after four years, became the first core of the team, with a 212 cm arm span and excellent positive defensive attitude, making him the best defensive gate on the team's periphery.
In the 2012 draft, until the 60-person draft list was read out, Bazemore's name did not appear, forced to bring his talent overseas, fortunately, the kung fu paid off, the Warriors invited him to participate in the summer league, Bazemore played in 3 games, averaged 27 minutes per game, scored 10.7 points, 5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2 steals and 2.3 blocks of comprehensive data, thus getting part of the guarantee contract provided by the Warriors, which officially started his NBA career.
Bazemore's single-game career stats:
On October 25, 2018, in the Hawks vs. Lone Ranger, Bazemore scored 31 points;
On February 8, 2016, in the Hawks and Magic game, Bazemore had 13 rebounds;
On March 23, 2014, in the Lakers' game against the Magic, Bazemore delivered eight assists;
On December 21, 2016, during the Hawks' game against the Timberwolves, Bazemore sent four blocks;
On March 19, 2014, in the Lakers' game against the Spurs, Bazemore reached 6 steals;
"He's consistent, he understands our system and he's got stronger after coming back from the development league. Having such a scoring point on the bench means a lot to us. ”
Curry's evaluation of his brother-in-law Lee is not exaggerated at all, Lee as the losing draft in the 2016 draft, can reach the current rotation position in the Warriors, which is something he has been working hard to promote.
As early as 2016, in his draft report, only a strong body and excellent shooting made people optimistic, but they were questioned in terms of speed, agility, defensive ability and potential.
Before 2020, he lived a drifting life, opportunities were left to those who were prepared, in the 19-20 season, Lee performed prominently in the warriors' opening season, and by the middle of the season, the Warriors management provided him with a 3-year contract, but the protection part was minimal, which meant that his future was still full of challenges.
Since the start of the 21-22 season, Lee has always hit some key three-pointers at key moments in the game, averaging 10.4 shots per game, can get 14.2 points, extremely efficient, second only to Curry and Wiggins in the Warriors, is one of the most important firepower points in the Warriors bench.
"I'll never back down, I'm the kind of annoying person I'm behind at all times, letting you know I'm not going to let go of a single step."
TJ McConaughey, as the loser of the 2015 draft, has always been strict with himself, and his career history is also more inspirational, and he has completed a legendary alternative triple-double data.
Last season, in the Pacers-Cavaliers game, McConaughey played 36 minutes off the bench, 8-of-8, with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists and 10 steals, it is worth mentioning that he has obtained so many steals without a single foul, which is the only time since 1985 in the NBA.
McConaughey was awarded a contract extension ($35.2 million for four years) from the Pacers in the offseason and became an integral part of the team.
CBA abandoners have dreams of being named to the NBA All-Star Team.
Wood was mediocre in talent and lacked effort, and after going through hardships, he finally turned back and began to try to seize the opportunity. In the 2015 draft, Wood did not enter the NBA through the draft as he wished, for the simple reason that on the one hand, the teams were worried about his training attitude and self-control ability, on the other hand, he did not really start the small-ball era when he was drafted, and his confrontation ability and playing style were not suitable for hand-to-hand combat in the penalty area.
Wood's career has been very bumpy, as soon as he entered the league, he has been living a turbulent life, playing in the summer league for the Rockets, Lone Rangers and Suns in the 4 years before joining the Pistons, playing in official games for the 76ers, Hornets, Bucks and Pelicans, and his short CBA career was also cut, until the Pistons really ushered in their own outbreak.
After coming to the Rockets, he was "popular" by the team, got a contract worth 41 million, and after Harden left, he also became the main player of the team, and he also had the dream of being selected for the All-Star Team.
Caruso belongs to the "man" that the Lakers miss the most in the trough.
Height and body are not prominent, college has never played doubles data, three-point shooting rate is less than 40%, so Caruso did not get the favor of scouts, in the 2016 draft, Caruso regrettably lost.
Caruso did not choose to give up after losing the election, in order to play in the NBA, he signed a Contract with the Thunder To Develop League team, the salary is only $30,000, he trains like crazy, his hair is getting less and less, when he was dug by the Lakers, Caruso's hair has been bald.
How much do the Lakers miss Caruso? James once commented: "As long as Caruso plays, the team's defense will rise a notch!" "Lakers championship season, Caruso is also crucial, once the game enters the scorching moment, Vogel will send Caruso, Caruso's defensive efficiency in the final quarter is as high as 92.3, is the first in the team, 26.3 final quarter steal rate and 0.236 defensive contribution value are ranked second in the league, let the Lakers miss it is also a reasonable thing.
Now that Caruso has got the contract he wants, the Bulls are also playing well, and the team is also in the first echelon of the East, all of which are inseparable from Caruso's contribution.
'There are players on the pitch who can just make the team better, and Ingles is one of those players, who can play well and make his teammates better, who are willing to win all kinds of jobs for the team on the pitch, he's found the trick, and once he's on the pitch, he can play a huge role.
Snyder's evaluation of Ingles is very good, the Jazz's current position in the league, in addition to the credit of Gobert and Mitchell, Ingles' three-point shot is more like a blessing for the Jazz.
As a young man, Ingles played well in the Australian League, and in 2009, at the age of 20, Ingles decided to bring his talent to the NBA, but unfortunately, the scouts thought he was slow and did not fit the rhythm of the NBA, and eventually lost. Fortunately, the times create heroes, and the arrival of the small-ball era has made Ingles' technical characteristics reused by the Jazz.
The Ultimate Five Squad indispensable 3D Fighters!
Covington is one of the inspirational players, from the 2013 draft to one of the more concerned 3D players in the league today, inseparable from his tough defensive attitude.
His athletic ability is extremely talented, the pick prediction at the draft is the beginning or middle of the second argument, but in the end regrettably lost, the official did not give any reason for the failure, the outside world speculated that the reason for the failure has a great relationship with his height, Covington is a main four-by-three player, in that era, the height of 1.98 meters is obviously insufficient.
Subsequently, the Rockets opened the door of the NBA for them, and their outstanding performances in two seasons were favored by the 76ers, and in the 17-18 season, they averaged 12.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1 block per game, and successfully selected for the defensive team.

That's the stats Dunro came up with in December of the 19-20 season, when he was only on a $1.4 million salary.
Dunroe participated in the 2018 draft, and finally regrettably lost the election, and is now a Miami Heat starter, he relied on the "perverted accurate" three-pointer, and won the Heat's contract extension in this offseason.
Dunro's Bole is Spollstra, he saw Dunro's shining point in the training camp game, and boldly gave him a chance, in the 18-19 season, Dunro averaged only 3.3 points in 15 shots per game, and the three-point shooting rate was only 28.5%, and in the 19-20 season, the average score was 13.5 points per game, and the shooting rate was as high as 44.6%, and the season also hit 270 three-pointers, ranking third in the league.
