As the best professional basketball league in the world, the NBA has been able to maintain its vitality for a long time, on the one hand, thanks to sound league rules and excellent media publicity, on the other hand, it is constantly introducing new blood through the draft every year.
For any team in the league, the draft work is a top priority, especially for some weak teams, a successful draft may help the team change its fate.
And the top ten picks are often given high hopes, so ten years later, how are the top ten rookies in 2012 doing? The US media "hoopshabit" also scored it, of which the title is deserved, and the success rate is too gratifying.
Champion: Thick Eyebrow Brother (A+)
Despite his career full of injuries, Brother Thick Eyebrow is still the first person in the class of 2012, and has been selected as one of the league's 75 superstars.
And after the Lakers joined forces with James, they successfully won the first crown of their careers, and so far in their careers, they have averaged 23.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, 8 times to the All-Star Game, 4 times to the Best Team, and 4 times to the Best Defensive Team.
As long as he stays healthy, he's exactly the league's top ten player and one of the best two-way players.
List: Gilchrist (D)
At the beginning of the draft, the outside world thought that he would become an all-round big man, so Jordan selected him with the eye of the list.
So far in his career, in eight seasons, he has averaged only 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, shooting only 27% from three-point range.
There is no doubt that he is one of the most watery high-ranking shows of the year, and although he can become a stable role player, he does not match the position of the top eye at all.
Tanhua: Bill (A)
Although it took 3 years to average 20+ points per game, Beal has been improving and has become one of the league's best scorers in recent seasons, averaging more than 30 points per game at one point.
However, this season, Beal has regressed significantly, averaging only 23 points per game and suffering from injuries.
Fortunately, in the past 6 seasons, he has been an All-Star level player and has been selected as an All-Star 3 times, fully worthy of the position of Tanhua, but there is no substantive honor, so he has not been able to get the highest score.
Show 4: Vitesse (C+)
In terms of individual ability alone, Vitesse deserves a higher rating, and for most of his career he was a trustworthy scorer.
Even after falling out with the Heat and moving between multiple teams at the same time, he can still average 13.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.
However, his piercing attributes, as well as the uncontrolled off-the-field, made it impossible for him to find a job, and getting c+ was already the greatest recognition of his ability.
Show No. 5: Thomas Robinson (F)
There are not many top ten rookies in this year, and Thomas Robinson is undoubtedly the biggest parallel cargo, and he was sent away in his rookie season.
He has returned to the league through short contracts, but after 2016, he completely faded out of the league, averaging only 4.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.
Pick 6: Lillard (A+)
Considering the poor performances of the above players, the Blazers undoubtedly picked up a big leak in the selection of Lillard, so it received an A+ rating.
Because in terms of achievements, Lillard did not lead the team to achieve much substantive achievement, but his personal ability is fully worthy of recognition.
He averaged 24.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, was selected as an All-Star six times, and entered the ranks of the top 75 stars.
Show 7: Barnes (B)
After being selected by the Warriors, he is not the best player on the team, but he plays an irreplaceable role next to Curry, Klay and Chao Meng, helping the team win the first championship in 5 years and 3 championships.
Since then, he has joined the Kings and has also played an important core rotation player, averaging 14.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game so far in his career, shooting 38% from three-point range.
Although he did not grow into a star, Barnes was completely above the passing line, and even with excellent evaluations is not excessive.
Show 8: Terence Rose (B-)
Rose's playing style is more similar to Thatters, both are relatively simple super six positioning, mainly based on scoring.
But unlike Vitesse, Rose is a late bloomer and has a smooth overall performance, averaging 11.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists so far in his career.
No. 9: Drummond (B+)
Drummond's career has been polarized, and during his time with the Pistons and Cavaliers, he was the league's top big man, but his stats were somewhat deceptive.
This led to his quick decline into a role player after leaving the Fish Belly team, but his performance is still an elite player.
He has averaged 13.9 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2 assists so far in his career, which can fully get a B+ rating, after all, his pick is not high.
Show 10: Rivers Jr. (C)
At the beginning of his career, the outside world thought that Rivers Jr. was a related household, but his actions proved that he completely relied on his own strength to obtain this position.
Despite the overall poor stats and the fact that he moved between teams, Rivers Jr. gradually gained a foothold in the league because no team would turn down a player with three points and defense.
As a result, Rivers Jr.'s overall performance was decent, that is, the positioning of a stable role player, so he received a passing C rating.
