As the best professional basketball league in the world, the reason why the NBA can maintain its vitality for a long time is that it absorbs top stars from all over the world through the draft every year.
A large number of fish-belly teams have achieved the team's goal of a new round of championship competition by swinging out of the way to get high-ranking rookies, but the level of the pick sometimes does not intuitively reflect the strength of a player.
In the history of the league, there are many high-ranking parallel goods, but the success rate of high-ranking players is still outstanding, especially the top five players, which are regarded by various rebuilding teams as the main candidates for the core selection.
Around this topic, the US media "hoopshabit" also launched a discussion, taking 10 years as a cycle, comparing the quality of the top five picks in the 4 groups of 10 years.
The time begins in 1976, when the NBA-ABA merged, and since then it has been a unit every ten years, and the average career data of the top five picks in each year of this decade has been averaged, thus obtaining the data performance of this group of players.
Among them, Jordan Bird was difficult to save the same term, and the old Zhan YaoMing was mixed.
1976-1985
In this decade, there have not been many stars in previous years, and 12 out of 50 have played fewer than 500 games, especially in 1976, not even a good star.
But in the second half, the year began to exert efforts, and eventually 11 of the 50 players were inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Among them were magic Johnson, basketball god Jordan, McHale, Isaiah Thomas and other historical stars, which also allowed them to force this year's statistics to 15.05 points, 6.14 assists and 2.89 rebounds.
1986-1995
Despite the unfortunate death of Ray Bass, who is hailed as a genius, resulting in only 49 players in this edition, their overall performance has improved compared to the previous edition.
But statistically, however, it slipped, averaging 14.16 points, 6.1 assists and 2.89 rebounds per game.
The reason is also very simple, there are not enough top stars in this decade, most of them are ordinary core players, taking 1986 as an example, only Doherty was selected as an All-Star, of course, there are twin stars like Pippen and Robinson in 1987, but the top success rate is not high enough.
1996-2005
This edition can be described as mixed, some years the top five players have all become talents, and in some years a star has not been trained.
The final stats were set at 14.75 points, 5.88 assists and 3.28 rebounds, of which 2003 was undoubtedly the top five of the draft, and the other four except Milisic had already booked a Hall of Fame seat.
For example, in 2002, only Yao Ming became an All-Star, and in 2000 only Ken Young Martin became an All-Star, and All-Star is already the highest honor of his career.
2006-2015
Despite the fact that in this edition, there are well-known parallel goods such as Hezonia, Exam and Bennett, as well as stars who wasted their talents, Such as Mayo and Beasley, they still got the best scoring performance.
This edition averaged 15.2 points, 5.96 assists and 3.12 rebounds per game, and has seen players like Ade since 2006.
Since then, there have been representative stars in every year, and from 2010 to 2014, the top five players have been selected for the best team every year, so this decade has the most balanced players.
