2018 Draft
The US media rearrangement of the 2018 draft, among the fans has been circulating a saying called rookies to see 3 years, now 3 years have passed, the level of the rookies of the 2018 class in the end, but also some eyebrows, today we will come to see whether the US media for the 2018 draft rearrangement after the alignment is reasonable.
10: Marvin Bagley originally took the 2nd pick in the first round
Bagley
Bagley can appear in this place is indeed a surprise, in the hearts of many fans Bagley is basically ruined, in addition to his own glass man attributes, the King's head coach Walton Jr. is also a "world wizard", Bagley can be said to be very likely to become a parallel goods list, this year's Bagley can be said to be more garbage, the previous three seasons at least scored 10 points, This year, he averaged only 9.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and it was still an injury that kept playing and stopping, so it can be said that a glass man plus a ghost coach, anyone who comes here has to be ruined.
9: Colin Sexton originally 8th pick in the first round
Poisonous wolf
In 2018, the Cavaliers signed a 1m 85 defender with their only first-round pick, when Sexton was also full of confidence to help James impact the championship, but what he did not expect was that James immediately went to the Lakers, although the dream of the championship was shattered, but the Cavaliers still paid enough attention to this guard, the first few years of his career can be said to have given Sexton quite a lot of ball rights, basically the Cavaliers everyone just watched him perform alone, and because of the conflict with his teammates, he had another one." Poisonous Wolf" title. Is Sexton really not working? In fact, it is not, because this year only played 11 games on the season reimbursement, there is no reference value, let's look at his data last year, averaging 24.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and the shooting rate is not low, but Sexton only has data, this year's Cavaliers are ranked 4th in the East, it can be said that it has nothing to do with Sexton, winning is not terrible, no one is embarrassed.
8: Jarren Jackson Jr. originally 4th pick in the first round
Little Jaron
I don't understand why Little Jaren can be ranked so low, probably because last year, Little Jaren at the beginning of the season left knee meniscus tear, season reimbursement affected his ranking, although this is a very serious injury, but the victory in Little Jaren is only 21 years younger, it is said that he also rose 3 centimeters during the recuperation period, originally 2 meters 11 he may have 2 meters 14, before he was injured, his play is already almost to, all-star level of skill, In 28.5 minutes, he can contribute 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, and Jalen Jr. also has a very good three-pointer, and it can also prevent beyond the three-point line, such an excellent and flexible pace, in this small ball era, for an interior line is the hottest, and this year, Jalen Jr. is getting better and better after the injury, now he can average 16.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, and now the Grizzlies can catch up with the Warriors to rank 3rd in the West, and Jalen Jr. can be said to be indispensable.
7: Miles Bridges originally picked 12th in the first round
Miles Bridges
If you don't count this season, Bridges is difficult to be put into the discussion, because in the draft, the evaluation of Bridges is a rough guy who relies on pure talent, although Bridges's physical fitness at that time is very explosive, but he will not do anything, in addition to dunks and other techniques are very rough, the first two years of his career are also like this, but last season Bridges began to learn the ability to hold the ball offensively, although it is still not good, but at least there will be some other means, this year Bridges' progress is very large, At one point at the beginning of the season, he was included in the MVP list, and this year the Hornets were able to join the ranks of the playoffs, and Bridges was very successful.
6: Mikael Bridges originally took the 10th pick in the first round
Mikael Bridges
Originally as an older rookie Bridges, not many people are optimistic about his potential, but after last season, I think many people's views should be changed again, and we also have to admire the vision of the Suns management, in the summer of 2020, the Suns 7-for-1 trade came to Paul, and sent away TJ Warren and Oubre two high-quality small forwards, many people think that the Suns boss has a brain into the water, but the facts prove that Warren although there is a highlight but direct season reimbursement, Oubre is more lost in the Warriors, and with the addition of Paul, Bridges has also been completely activated, last season Bridges, averaging 13.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, the most important thing is that his shooting rate reached 54.2%, three-point shooting rate of 42.5%, such a 3D type of forward that does not occupy the ball, he has been managed by the Suns, as the future Klay Thompson next to Booker, and this year the Suns can rank first in the league, Bridges and Crowder's forward defensive barrage is powerful, and although he is 26 years old this year, he can definitely get an offer of more than $20 million a year after the rookie contract expires.
5: Shay Giljes Alexander originally took the 11th pick in the first round
Alexander
Everyone on the Thunder can sell as long as you can afford the draft, except for Alexander, from the Thunder's rebuilding in these two years, we can see that the Thunder value Alexander, as the main chip of the deal with Paul George that year, Alexander is the cornerstone of the Thunder's team, and in this year's offseason, Alexander and the Thunder reached a 5-year, $172 million contract extension, last season Alexander played 35 games for the Thunder, averaging 23.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, shooting 50.8% three-point shooting rate of 41.8%, although Alexander has no advantage in the team's record, but this can not blame him, because the Thunder will play people have been sold out, but also have a rotten task, can play such a result in such a bad team, Alexander has been quite good, but this year Alexander's various statistics have declined, the Thunder are swinging for the draft pick, but Alexander can no longer lose in this bad team, accustomed to losing for a long time, it is basically difficult to find the feeling of winning again.
4: Michael Potter Jr., originally 14th pick in the first round
Porter Jr.'s future is in doubt
Porter Jr. was originally a favorite, only because of injury reasons, until the 14th pick was selected by the Nuggets, but in the past season, because of Murray's accidental injury, Porter Jr.'s talent on the offensive end completely exploded, averaging 19 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 44.5%, it is undeniable that Porter Jr. is indeed very good, and has made great progress in the past two seasons. The Nuggets also renewed his contract with a maximum salary of 172 million, but Porter Jr., who just signed a large contract, immediately pulled his crotch, averaging less than 10 points per game in the airport game at the beginning of the season, the decline in data was very serious, and then immediately the season was reimbursed, and now the Nuggets can only rely on the teacher to support himself, sitting on the court with two top salaries, and it is not easy to bring the Nuggets to the 6th place in the West.
3rd: DeAndre Ayton Original Champion
Aton
The original champion Ayton ranked 3rd, if not last year, he appeared in the 3rd is indeed a bit high, the first two years of his career Ayton has been called "soft egg" by fans, because he is afraid of confrontation as an inside line, the performance on the court is very disappointing, but this year with the Suns into the Finals, Ayton changed the usual image of weakness and incompetence, he can average 15 points and 10 rebounds per game, with fewer shots in exchange for higher efficiency, At the same time, Ayton's performance on the defensive end is also steadily improving every year, Ayton is the team's third shot choice, if Ayton is not in the Suns, or he does not have Booker around, then Ayton's strength may be better than now, Ayton really thanks Paul, without Paul, the Suns are difficult to play in the playoffs or the Finals, Ayton also has a hard time having a chance to prove himself in the playoffs, but this year Ayton has been in conflict with the management of the Suns because of the contract, The Suns are willing to give Ayton a 5-year, $147 million contract, to be honest, it is not low, but Ayton is obviously not satisfied, he wants a maximum salary of more than $30 million a year, the Suns will renew Bridges next year, giving Ayton a big contract can not give Bridges, if not negotiated, Ayton is likely to be traded by the Suns this year.
2: Trae Young, originally 5th pick in the first round
Trey Young
Trae Young is currently one of the best point guards in the service, his three-point ability is very strong, he also has a name for Curry in the East, and in the second year he also played a super stat of averaging 29.6 points and 9.3 assists per game, after the 20-21 season of playoffs, I believe that not many people should question the strength of Trae Young, Trae Young is now also an All-Star player, in the just-concluded playoffs, he led the Eagles all the way back, defeating the Knicks in the first round to reverse the 76ers in the second round. Although defeated by the Bucks, such a Trae Young has been respected and affirmed, his arrival has given the Hawks hope for a future revival, but this season the Hawks are far away from the playoffs, although the data has not changed much, but the team's record is really too poor, defensive efficiency ranks second to last in the league, due to DeAndre Hunter injury
Defensive gate injured
The substitute "ice shooter" Reddish went up to the top, which made the Eagles very headache, and the Eagles finally couldn't stand Redish so they traded him to the Knicks, but this was also a change of soup without changing the medicine.
Redish was traded
1: Luka Doncic was originally the 2nd pick in the first round
Doncic
Doncic ranked first is unquestionable, the rookie season was elected the best rookie, although only 22 years old, but he has become the future of the league, many fans have said that he can take over the banner of James, in these three years, Doncic entered the best team for two consecutive years, and became an All-Star starter, has now become a popular candidate for the MVP list, 20-21 season playoffs, can be cut off, 35.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.3 steals, the data is already a bit unstoppable, as long as he can break through in the playoffs, then he will soon be able to become the first person in the league, and this summer's lone ranger boss Cuban, also impatiently offered him a super big contract of $200 million.
