The draft is a unique system of major sports leagues in the United States, and supports the continuous transportation of sports talents, cultivating generations of stars for the league, we have entered the third decade of the 21st century, and for the NBA, the draft players who were the first decade of this century have gradually disappeared in this arena, and recently the US media listed the draft players in the 2001-11 period this season before the All-Star
The league's only surviving 2001 draft is Joe Johnson, who is currently a free agent who has played just one game with the Celtics this season and contributed two points. The 40-year-old "singles Joe" still hopes to continue to shine in the NBA, and joe Johnson was prominently listed in the 12-man roster for the men's basketball World Cup qualifier officially announced by the United States team last week
The players of the 2nd class have completely disappeared in this season's NBA, and the 03 class is only two people, namely James and Anthony, and these two have also been selected as the 75th superstar in NBA history, This season Anthony can average 13.4 points per game for the Lakers, James is even better, averaging 29.1 points per game to make it the 3rd place in the scoring list
Three people in the 2004 class currently continue to play in the league, namely Howard, who is currently playing for the Lakers with 5.1 points per game this season, Iguodala, who is currently playing for the Warriors with 4.1 points, and Ariza, who is currently playing for the Lakers with 4 points
Paul and Lovell are left in the 2005 class, after reaching the Finals for the first time in their careers last season, Paul's Suns have continued to work hard this season, and he is currently at the top of the league, he can also average 14.7 points per game, but it is regrettable that Paul will miss the rest of the regular season after the All-Star due to injury; Louis Williams continues to stay with the Hawks this season, but averaging 6.8 points per game has set a new career low
Six of the 2006 are still in the NBA, and the teams of these six are at the top of the rankings this season, Aldridge is an important member of the Nets' interior line, averaging 13.8 points per game also makes it the top of the six-man scoring list, and Lowry is currently the core of the backcourt of the First Heat in the East, which has played a pivotal role in the team's combing and defense
Five of the 2007 class are still playing in the NBA this season, Durant is still at the peak of his career, and he is still one of the best stars in the league, averaging 29.3 points per game, as can be seen; conley is still the Jazz's starting point guard, and the 34-year-old is still contributing greatly to the league's strong teams
Since the 2008 class, the number of people who remain in the NBA has continued to grow, and Westbrook, the former MVP winner and the league's historical triple-double king, has suffered a cliff-like decline in the Lakers this season, but still leads the 08th Draft player scoring list with 18.3 points, in addition to see a series of familiar names such as Loew, Rose, McGee, Lopez brothers, etc., and Dragic has now moved to the Nets, and he is also launching a final impact on his championship dream
The quality of the 09 draft may be the best since the 03 generation, take a look at the score list of this season in the picture above, DeRozan, Curry, Harden, Holliday's Bulls, Warriors, 76ers, Bucks are the first echelon of the league to win the championship, and they are also the best core of the team's backcourt or front, and then look back, including Mills, Danny Green and even Rubio, who is reimbursed for injury season, are all strong bench players for their respective teams
From this season's point of view, the 10th is basically the glory of Paul George, averaging 24.7 points per game before injury, and he is the leader of the Clippers this season on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends; Hayward has never returned to his peak state since his serious injury, but he is still a very stable scoring point in the team, and he is the dressing room leader in this young Hornets team; and the back like Bledsoe, Cousins, Monroe, etc., because they have not been able to cash in their talents, can not help but sigh
Finally, the 11th, if the 09th is a four-star shine, then this session is a hundred flowers, the top ten draft players in the scoring list have averaged all doubles this season, Irving, Butler, Thompson are one of the core of the championship team, Harris, Vucevic, Varan, Bogdanovic, Reggie and others are also worthy of the contract of tens of millions of annual salaries. What's more, don't forget that there is also Leonard, who has suffered a serious injury, and as one of the 75 biggest stars in history, The Little Card is actively recovering to seek a chance to return to the field this season
