As one of the best basketball leagues in the world, the NBA's long-term competitiveness is closely related to the fact that it selects young players from all over the world through the draft every year.
For any team in the league, the draft is a very important part of the team's operation process, and it is also an important test of the team's management ability.
Because some of them seem to be talented new stars, but because of personality and subsequent efforts, they cannot cash in on their talents, but some players who look inconspicuous when they are drafted have become superstars after that.
Over the past 15 years, the 2011 draft has undoubtedly been recognized as one of the biggest draft years, producing not only top players like Irving, Clay, Butler and Leonard, but also the overall quality of the draft.
So after 11 years, most of the rookies of 2011 have cashed in all their talents and re-ranked them, how will the overall ranking change?
The US media "FW" also discussed around this topic, after 11 years, the NBA 2011 draft was rearranged, of which Clay entered the top three and Irving lost the title.
Champion: Leonard (originally chosen owen)
There's no doubt that the top spot belongs to Leonard, who is plagued by injuries, but 2 championships and 2 FMVPs are enough to tell.
And compared to Irving's championship as the second boss, Leonard was the absolute core of the championship in the Raptors period, plus two best defensive player awards, Leonard's ranking is well deserved.
Leader: Irving (Derek Williams)
Although he is inferior to Leonard in terms of personal achievement and leadership ability, giving up the position of champion, Irving can still occupy the top spot.
The first point is that Irving has won the championship as the second core, and it is in the case of 1-3 behind, successive key performances to complete the historical level of the big reversal.
The second point is that Irving is personally strong enough to be one of the most gorgeous scorers in the history of the league, but it will be difficult to surpass Leonard in the future according to his current style of acting.
Tanhua: Thompson
Like Leonard, Thompson was one of the representatives of the 2011 counter-attack, and he went straight from the No. 11 show to the top three.
If it weren't for injury issues, Thompson would even have a chance to overtake Irving, and as the Warriors bottomed out this season, Klay got rid of injuries, and if the Warriors can continue to win the championship in the next 2-3 years, Klay has every chance to surpass Irving.
Show No. 4: Butler (originally Tristan Thompson)
If the Cavaliers can make the most correct decision, they will build a super big three of James + Leonard + Butler.
Butler is also the most inspirational player of this year, as the first round of the 30th show, Butler's talent is not outstanding, but he will always be the most diligent player.
Even though he can't be a league superstar due to talent problems, he is a stable All-Star and his team is a reasonable favorite for the championship.
No. 5: Tobias Harris (originally Jan Viselli)
Harris' ability was grossly underestimated due to contract issues, and he was a qualified third big.
In contrast, Viselli is just a role player, leaving the NBA to return to the Turkish League after only 4 seasons in the league.
No. 6 show Vucevic (Varan), No. 7 show Walker (Billy Beaugh), No. 8 show Isaiah Thomas (Knight), No. 9 show Varan (Walker), no. 10 show Thompson (Fredded).
11-15: Faried (Thompson), Morris Jr. (Burks), Bojan (Morris Jr.), Reggie (Leonard);
16-20: Grand Maurice (Vucevic), Parsons (Shumpert), Mirotic (Singleton), Shumpert (Tobias Harris), Burks (Moteyunas);
21-30: Joseph (Smith), Billyonbo (Farid), Bertans (Mirotic), Knight (Reggie), Moore (Marshon Brooks), Norris Cole (Hamilton), Justin Holliday (Johnson), Williams (Cole), Loel (Joseph), Allen (Butler).
