Bynum
In the 2005 NBA Draft, Andrew Bynum was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the tenth pick in the first round as the youngest player in the draft. I believe that many old Lakers fans are familiar with the name of Andrew Bynum, known as the "little shark" Bynum is an indispensable piece of the Puzzle for the Lakers' two consecutive championships ten years ago. The 2011-12 season was the peak of Bynum, who averaged 18.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.9 blocks, and was successfully selected for the All-Star start and second team.
However, after his state declined very quickly, the physique of the Glass Man made him plagued by injuries, coupled with his heavy heart, the training was not very active and serious, he fell off the altar, tossing and turning the 76ers, Cavaliers, Pacers and other teams, disappeared from people's vision after 2014, his career was not enough for ten years, compared to the same draft Chris Paul is still an All-Star level, still chasing his championship dream, Bynum is a very talented player, 2 meters 13 height but has a 2 meters 31 arm span, Strong and strong, he has a tough ball style, excellent bouncing ability, soft basketball shooting feel, the Lakers once trained him as the core of the team, but the final ending was not satisfactory.
Roy
Brandon Roy is also a talent destroyed by injuries, with the "yellow mamba him" and Rose has a very similar experience, Roy dribbles well, the change of direction to break the rhythm is well mastered, breakthrough layups and mid-range emergency stop jump shots are the main means of his scoring. Roy debuted at the peak, first won the best rookie, the second season of his career was selected as an All-Star, in the 2008-09 season, Brandon Roy was selected to the second team of the season with an average of 22.6 points, 5.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game, and the playoffs soared to 26.7 points and 4.8 rebounds, which has gradually revealed its superstar appearance.
Subsequently, injuries came to the door, and in the finale of the 2010 regular season, Roy tore the meniscus in his right knee, and in the 2010-11 season, Brandon Roy removed both knees. His scoring stats plummeted that season, after which he chose to retire at a prosperous age, and although there was a brief comeback, he was still no longer as brave as he was then, which could not help but be lamented.
Lin
Jeremy Lin's NBA experience is very bumpy, first to the Warriors, the Rockets, and the real play is in the Knicks in New York. The Knicks were injured at the time, and he got playing opportunities against the Nets, with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, which also allowed the coach to keep him. After the team boss Anthony retired from injury, as a point guard, he naturally became the leader of the court, and Jeremy Lin started for the Knicks in the next four consecutive games, averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 assists and 2 steals per game to lead the Knicks to four consecutive wins and was named the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week. It is worth mentioning that he scored 38 points and 7 assists in the game against the Lakers, which is also the highest score of his career, and in the game against the Raptors, he also dedicated an arc top three-point kill, so that fans around the world know him, and the Lin crazy boom swept the world for a time.
Then Jeremy Lin signed a big contract with the Rockets to stand firm, but then suffered a rupture of the patellar ligament, the 2017-18 season reimbursement, the state declined, after winning the championship with the Raptors in 2019, he left the NBA and came to Beijing Shougang, and constantly sought opportunities in the NBA Development League.
