In an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Suns beat the Timberwolves 125-116. Carl Anthony Towns and Devin Booker reached the milestone at the same time — Booker scored 28 points on 7-of-15 shooting, bringing the total to 11,005 points, Towns scored 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting, and the total score reached 11,008 points, and their total scores both exceeded the 11,000 mark.
Towns and Booker are very good friends, both from the University of Kentucky, both participated in the NBA draft in 2015, Towns was selected by the Timberwolves with the first pick in the first round, Booker was selected by the Suns with the 13th pick in the first round, and now both have grown into the core of their respective teams, both have been selected as All-Stars, both have received a maximum salary contract, and become one of the representatives of the younger generation.
In addition to Downs and Booker, there are several other players in the class of 2015 who have performed well, such as De Angelo Russell, Porzingis, Miles Turner, and Terry Rozier, how many points have they scored so far?
Russell: 7405 points
Draft Pick: Top-eye, selected by the Lakers, now plays for the Timberwolves.
Russell has played 418 games so far in his career, made 354 starts, averaged 17.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks, shooting 42 percent from the field and 35.8 percent from three-point range, and his total score was 7,405.
He's been named to the All-Star bench once, to the Rookie Team once, to Player of the Week once, to a four-year, $117 million contract in the summer of 2019, and his performance in the last two years has been average, and perhaps his ceiling can only be so.
Porzingis: 6160 points
Draft Pick: Fourth pick, selected by the Knicks, now plays for the Wizards.
Boshin has played 328 games so far in his career, making 327 starts, averaging 18.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, shooting 44.3% from the field and 35.2% from three-point range, and his total score is 6160 points.
He has been named to the All-Star Team for one time, was named to the All-Star Bench once, was named Player of the Week twice, was voted Player of the Month three times, won one All-Star Skills Contest title, and was awarded a five-year, $158 million top salary contract in 2019. Bo Shen was not optimistic at first, but he played a stunning performance, but then suffered a series of injuries, and he no longer had the original sense of surprise, but he could still play a good performance, and he still had the opportunity to become a better self.
Turner: 5483 points
Draft Pick: Eleventh pick, selected by the Pacers, still playing for the Pacers.
Turner has played 431 games so far in his career, making 398 starts, averaging 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.7 steals, 2.3 blocks, shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from three-point range, and his total score is 5,483.
He has won the title of Block King twice, was elected Rookie of the Month once, and was selected to the All-Rookie Team 2nd Team once. Turner is an interior line with three-point range and excellent ability to complete the guarding task, but his offensive means are not delicate enough, everything will be a little, but not proficient, and he sometimes lacks offensive desire, which makes him a more regrettable player, but he is still the championship puzzle that many championship teams want to get.
Rozier: 5889 points
Draft Pick: Sixteenth pick, selected by the Celtics, now plays for the Hornets.
Rozier has played 468 games in his career so far, made 226 starts, averaged 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, shooting 41.7% from the field and 37.7% from three-point range, and his total score was 5889.
In the first two years of his career, Rozier did not attract much attention, but in the third season, the Frequent Injuries of the Green Army allowed him to get more playing time, his average score per game doubled, rebounds, assists, steals and other statistics were rising, and in the playoffs, he became a miracle soldier, averaging 16.5 points per game, helping the Green Army to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, which allowed him to get a good contract from the Hornets, and now he has grown into an important part of the Hornets.
After watching the total scores of other players in the same class, I found that Towns and Booker were really good, their total scores were far ahead of other players in the same class, and it was very rare to have high output and keep themselves away from injuries.
The most regrettable thing about this session is tanhua Okafor, his draft template is Duncan, but the 76ers were delayed for several years, when other rookies gain unlimited ball rights and grow rapidly, Okafor can only sit on the bench, and later although he changed several teams, he is no longer the teenager, he can only play in the CBA, and some time ago he was also beaten by Wang Zhelin, which is lamentable.
