Cha classmate teenager! Take stock of the 10 most famous NBA stars of the 21st century who were college classmates

After going to work, people often miss their time on campus, and the word "classmate" has a heavy weight. In the NBA, there are also many players who can't play at first glance, but under careful examination, they are from the same college and used to be classmates. The following is the number of the league's top 10 co-students after entering the 21st century (in chronological order of entry into the NBA).

1. Arenas/Jefferson, Arizona

Unexpectedly, "The Great General" and Jefferson were also college classmates. Jefferson, the older of the two, played for the University of Arizona from 1998 to 2001. During his sophomore season, Arenas joined, and the duo teamed together to lead the team to the NCAA final in 2001, but lost to Duke.

Interestingly, Arenas did better in school, having been named to the Pac-10 Division's All-Freshman Squad and Best Team, outperforming Jefferson. But in the 2001 draft, Jefferson won the lottery, and Arenas fell to the second round. In the NBA, Arenas made 3 All-Stars and All-Stars, winning the fastest improving player; Jefferson didn't have an All-Star reward but won the championship in 2016.

2. Boozer/Jay Williams/Battier/Dunliwick Jr., Duke

The one who beheaded Arenas and Jefferson in the 2001 NCAA finals was by no means generic. Boozer, Williams and Deng Levy Jr. all joined Duke in 1999 to join coach K, two years after Battier. The highest achiever of the four was Williams, who won the John Woodden Award, while Boozer, Battier and Dunlliever Jr. also appeared in the ACC All-Team and All-America Team. They won the NCAA Title (Battier MOP) for Duke in 2001 and the ACC Championship in 2002.

In 2001 Battier was selected with the 6th pick. In the 2002 draft, Williams and Deng Liwei Jr. were selected with the 2nd and 3rd picks respectively, while Boozell fell to the 35th pick in the second round. Boozer and Battier are the highest achievers in the NBA. The former was twice named an All-Star and was also named to the Best Team, the latter won the championship twice and was named to the Best Defensive Team twice; Williams ruined his career due to a car accident; and Deng Levy Jr. was more mediocre.

3. Auden/Conley, Ohio University

Auden's career was ruined by injuries, which was lamentable, while Conley was successful in the NBA. The two spent their first year at Ohio in the 2006–07 season. Auden is even more famous, he was selected for the National Second Team and the Big 10 Zone First Team, was selected by the Coaches Association as the best defensive player, and Conley also appeared in the Big 10 Zone. The duo led the team to the NCAA finals, but lost to the University of Florida.

In the 2007 draft, Auden and Conley were selected with the 1st and 4th picks respectively. But Auden eventually became a tragic hero, and Conley is still active in the NBA. In his 12 seasons with the Grizzlies, he became one of the representatives of the "grinding and strangulation" era. Last season, Conley came to the Jazz and fulfilled his dream of being an All-Star.

4. Noah/Horford, Florida

For Billy Donovan's University of Florida, the 2007 championship was their second consecutive title. Noah and Horford are representatives of this high-profile team. In 2007, the Florida Tigers were selected together and became a good story. Compared with Corey Brewer and other 3 people, Noah and Horford have the highest achievements in the NBA.

The peak of Noah's career was too short. He was named to the All-Star twice, to the Defensive Team three times, and to the Defensive Player of the Year; Horford has a more sustained career, making five All-Stars appointments to date, including the All-Team and Defensive Team. Today he is still one of the Celtic pioneers.

5. Westbrook/Loaf, UCLA

Wei Shao and Le Fu joined UCLA on the back and forth, and the two ran together in 2008. Originally at UCLA, Westbrook was a substitute for Darren Collison, and was promoted to starter in the second season, with Love as teammates. UCLA also reached the Final Four for two consecutive seasons. Westbrook was named Best Defensive Player in the Pac-10 Zone Third Team and All-Defensive Team, while Love was named to the Pac-10 Zone First Team and the All-American First Team and was named the Division Player of the Year.

In the 2008 draft, Wei Shao and Luck were selected with the 4th and 5th picks respectively. Despite his poor performance with the Lakers this season, Westbrook has been selected as an All-Star 9 times, selected to the Best Team nine times, won the MVP, and created an average of three-doubles per game; Love has been selected as an All-Star five times, selected to the Best Team twice, served as the fastest improved player, and won the championship.

6. DeRozan/Vucevic, USC

DeRozan and Vucevic are also UCS (University of Southern California) alumni, albeit briefly working together. In the 2008-09 season, Vucevic's first year at USC, DeRozan was already a star in the team, selected for the best freshman team in the Pac-10 district, won the MVP of the division championship, and the No. 10 jersey was retired from USC; after DeRozan left, Vucevic gradually improved, twice selected for the best team in the Pac-10 district, and also selected for the best team in the United States.

So far in his career, DeRozan has been named an All-Star five times, the All-Team twice, and Vucevic has been named an All-Star twice. Now, the two have become teammates in the Bulls, which is a wonderful fate.

7. Wall/Cousins/Bledsoe, Kentucky

In the 2009–10 season, Wall, Cousins and Bledsoe played for Kentucky at the same time, ending in the quarterfinals. Wall was named SEC Player of the Year and named to the All-American First Team; Cousins was named the Division's Freshman of the Year, who was also named to the Division First and Second Teams; and Bledsoe also took a place in the Division's Best Freshman Team.

In the 2010 draft, Wall was selected as the winner, with Cousins and Bledsoe picking in the 5th and 18th picks, respectively. Wall and Cousins have similar careers, both have been selected as All-Stars, both were at the top of their respective positions, but their career trajectories have changed due to serious injuries. Bledsoe was named to the Best Defensive Team twice, but it was difficult to change the fate of wandering around.

8. Embiid/Wiggins, Kansas

Kansas' NCAA victory this year excites Embiid. In the 2013–14 season, both played for one season in Kansas. Embiid was named The Freshman, Defensive and Second Team in the Big 12 Division, and was named the Best Defensive Player in the Division, while Wiggins was named the Division's Best Freshman, the Division's Best First Team and the National Second Team. Unfortunately, Embiid missed the 2014 Grand 12Thirth Division Championship and the NCAA Championship due to a back injury, and Kansas stopped in the round of 32.

Both have had ups and downs in the NBA. Embiid missed two consecutive seasons due to injury, appeared in the NBA in the third season, and is now the NBA's first center candidate and an MVP hit; Wiggins has been slow to improve after getting the rookie queen, and has only been selected as an All-Star for the first time this season.

9. Towns/Booker, Kentucky

In the 2014-15 season, Towns and Booker also spent only one year in Kentucky. Towns was named the SEC's Freshman of the Year that season, named the district's best first and national second team, and with his NCAA Championship performances, he took the title from Jalil Okafor, while Booker was named the SEC Best Sixth Man and the Best Second Team in the Zone.

In the 2015 draft, Towns became the champion and Booker was selected with the 13th pick. Despite their outstanding offensive talents, the two of them' NBA road was not smooth at first, they did not qualify for the playoffs for many years, and both were saddled with the title of "attacking strong and defending weak". But Booker has soared in the last 2 seasons after Paul's arrival, and Towns is expected to return to the playoffs this season.

10. Zion/Barrett/Redish, Duke

Duke Sanjie is the most well-known "NBA Alumni Association" in recent times. All three are five-star high school students, and they are in the top three of ESPN's 2018 National High School Rankings. Duke has also become the first team to include top 3 high school students in the same year after the implementation of the national high school ranking rules, which was the first team to attract all the top 3 high school students in the same year. In the end, Zion won the John Wooden Award and, along with Barrett, the former best high school student in the United States, was selected for the All-American First Team and the ACC First Division.

After entering the NBA, the three-man career developed independently. Zion rookie season trapped by injuries, the second season was named an All-Star, this season hit by injuries again; Barrett and Redish have been called "ice shooters". Last season, the Knicks became the dark horse in the East Side, Barrett was praised for attacking and defending, but this season the Knicks fell again; Reddish is the only of the three who has experienced a transfer, and is now reunited with Barrett in New York.
