The 1999 NBA Draft can be said to be the most underrated in history, although the rearrangement did not reach the level of the previous three Kobe, Shi Fo, and drivers, but the overall top 10 and even the level of the lotto district is second only to the super big year of 1996 and 2003, there are a lot of perfect two bosses and championship puzzles, and the second round of rookies also has top stars like Manu. Here's a look at the top 14 picks after the 1999 NBA Draft reflow.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" >No.14 James Posey</h1>
Actual order: 18
Career highlight: Two-time championship
Posey's career and genre is particularly like Robert Horry's, and posey at the pinnacle of Posey is the league's premium 3D. In the Nuggets' final year, he could average 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, turning the Rockets Grizzlies, in 2006 he averaged 7.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game for the Heat, 42% of the three-point shooting rate is the first of the Heat, as the Heat's first defensive front, he contributed to the Heat's championship. Two years later, he played the same role for the Celtics, but he became a bench player, and as a substitute for Pierce, he still helped the team tremendously in defense and three points, and also brought a championship to the Celtics. The three-year two crowns are also regarded as the lucky stars to win the championship, and it is worth mentioning that after retiring, he won another championship as an assistant coach in the Cavaliers, once again proving his championship genes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" >No.13 Szebíak</h1>
Actual order: 6 in order
Career Highlights: Rookie MVP, 1 All-Star
If it weren't for injuries, Szebiak would have had a higher rating in his career. During the Timberwolf period, he was once the Wolf King's most powerful assistant. His own accurate shooting, as well as good singles ability, coupled with a handsome face, made him a hot white star in the league at that time. Even after leaving the Timberwolves, he has been plagued by injuries, Szebiak has only had one season of his career without scoring in double figures, and finally after the Cavaliers failed to attack the championship, Szebiak was banned from the game by doctors due to serious injuries and was forced to retire.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > No.12 Cory Maguete</h1>
Actual order: 13th pick
Career highlight: Averaged 20+ per game in 3 seasons
Magetti has been a master scorer in the NBA, especially with a terrifying foul-making ability, having hit more than 10 free throws in nine consecutive games. A lean tendon meat gives him excellent confrontation, and his peak is long enough that he still has an average of 19.8 points per game in the 09-10 season. He also led the team to the Western Conference semifinals with this year's Champion Brand, and was the two leaders of the Clippers in the early 21st century. After retiring from the BIG3 League, Magueti also played well, winning the second BIG3 League championship and MVP in 2018.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" >No.11 Andre Miller</h1>
Actual pick: 8th pick
Career highlight: 1 assist king, 632 consecutive games, 52 points in a single game
The elder Miller was a well-known iron man in the NBA, and he could still play in the NBA until he was 40 years old. In his rookie season, he scored 11.1 points, 5.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.02 steals to be selected for the rookie team. He really started playing in the Nuggets, he became Anthony's very good helper, and later he became a chip to trade Iverson. What Miller really talks about is his attendance and consistency, missing only four of his first 13 games in 1,048 games, setting a record of 632 consecutive games. In 2010, the 34-year-old Miller shot 22 of 31 and scored a career-high 52 points with a back shot. At the age of 40, he was cut by the Spurs before choosing to retire, which can be called a living fossil of the stadium.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" >No.10 Steve Francis</h1>
Actual pick: 2nd pick
Highlight: Best Rookie, Three-time All-Star
Francis was able to fall into this position on the one hand, and the person in front of him was equally good, and the most important thing was that he had a more complete and healthy career than him. Francis started his career bright enough to win the best rookie, was the third player after big 0 and magic at that time to win 15+5+5 in the first three seasons, and as Yao Ming's big brother, he also has excellent popularity in China, three consecutive years of all-star starters, but the Rockets in order to seek a breakthrough in the record, when the boss of The Fordy trade came to the stronger Maddy. Since going to the Magic, The Boss's career has begun to decline, and he was sold to New York two years after not calling warcraft, and it was only two years after he was elected an All-Star, and the average score per game dropped from 20 points to 10.8 points. Subsequently, after 2007, there was basically no ball to play, and then returning to the rocket was also a thing. In 2010, he couldn't even stand in the CBA because of drug use, and eventually went to jail. The career of The Elder Offier is truly regrettable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" >No.9 Andrei Kirilenko</h1>
Actual pick: 24th pick
Highlights: Rookie 1st team, 1 block king, 1 best defensive first team, 2 best defensive second team, Champions League MVP
If Kirilenko appears in this small-ball era, he is definitely the target of the crazy rush of the teams. He's a Drummond Green without negative press, and as a small striker, his technique is extremely well-rounded. He was the first player in the NBA to steal and block all in the top five, and the third player to play "5×5" in a single game after Big Dream and Admiral. He was the representative of the post-Malone and Stockton Acting Sir, and the owner of the Rockets at that time. And in the national team, he is also the totem of Russian basketball. He competed in the Sydney Olympics in 2000, led the team to win the European Championship in 2007, and in 2012 he participated in the competition for the last time to help Russia win the Olympic bronze medal. AK47 also became a classic nickname for that period.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="86" > No.8 Lamar Odom</h1>
Actual pick: 4th pick in Round 1
Highlights: Best Sixth Man, Two Overall Champions, World Champion
Odom was once seen as the next magician, and he was james' youngest triple-double before entering the NBA. He has scored three triple-doubles in his rookie season, and as a striker, his organizational ability, rebounding ability and even blocking ability are superior, and he has had 9 blocks in a single game. And what really makes Odom shine is when he joins forces with Kobe, from the beginning of the Lakers two, and then to the arrival of Gasol, Bynum rises, he acts as the sixth man to become the core of the second team, he is an important contributor to the Lakers' two championships, and he also won the title of the best sixth man. However, his career also left the Lakers in 2011 to take a sharp turn, and the calf conflict, drug use and nightclubs also made his health and physical strength much worse than before, and even once his life was in danger, and now after the divorce, Odom's money is empty, very miserable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="87" > No.7 Richard Hamilton</h1>
Actual pick: 7th pick
Highlights: Overall champion, 3-time All-Star
Hamilton, nicknamed king of the Middle Cast, debuted as a Wizard, who fought alongside Jordan at the Wizards. Later, the Pistons traded Hamilton with All-Star Starstock, and it turned out that the trade was completely correct. Hamilton, who plays without the ball, became the top scoring point for the Civilian Pistons, and he is also the Pistons' first-ever playoff scorer. In 2004, the Pistons beat the Lakers to win the championship, and he was named an All-Star for three consecutive years. For 10 consecutive seasons, he averaged more than 18 points per game, but only averaged more than 2 three-point shots per game in 2 seasons, and the Mask Man did practice the technique of shooting to the extreme.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="76" > No.6 Baron Davis</h1>
Actual pick: 3rd pick
Highlights: Black Eight Miracle Core, two-time All-Star, two-time steal king, skill contest champion
As the first bearded man, Baron Davis's downward order is similar to that of the Boss of The Buddha, and the later decline is too obvious. But for the first 10 years of his career, he was also the number one person in the NBA. In the Hornets he was Paul's previous Queen Bee and was twice named an All-Star; in the Warriors, he was the leader of the Black Eight Miracle Warriors, and in the playoffs he helped the Warriors successfully eliminate the Mavericks to achieve the Black Eight. However, he later joined the Clippers for a big contract, but Brand's departure made the Clippers plummet, coupled with the contradiction with coach Dun liwei, he was no longer brave. In order to send him away, the Clippers did not hesitate to take the unprotected draft pick, and the draft pick finally became a champion, allowing the Cavaliers to get Irving.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" >No.5 Jason Terry</h1>
Actual pick: 10th pick
Highlights: Championship, Best Sixth Man, Seventh in NBA History three-pointers
Jet Jets Jason Terry is also an evergreen in the NBA, playing for 19 seasons in his career and scoring a total of 18,881 points, the most of the rookies of this year. At the same time, his three points are also ranked seventh in history, which is not easy for Terry, who has been the sixth man in the middle and late stages of his career. He dedicated his pinnacle to the Mavericks, who is Nowitzki's best helper and a big contributor to the Mavericks' 2011 victory. Later on, he also had a brief highlight on the Rockets' headband gang, and the way he played three-pointers and celebrated like airplane jets is still fresh in people's minds.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" >No.4 Elton Brand</h1>
Actual order: Champion
Highlights: Two-time All-Star, Best Rookie, two-time World Championships
Although Brand's honor is not prominent, there is no overall championship. But he is not a parallel cargo, and he is a veritable captain on the Clippers. During his time with the Clippers, he averaged 20+ per game in four seasons, especially in 2005-06, when Elton Brand set a career-high with 24.7 points per game. In the future, he played well to lead the Clippers to eliminate the Nuggets, achieving the first playoff victory in team history since 1976. Coming to the 76ers, he kept slipping due to tactics and injuries, but at the 76ers were also good second-in-command. In 2016, Brand chose to retire, and the reason why he put his ranking so high is also because if he is re-selected, you will still feel that Brand is the kind of star player who can be the cornerstone as the core.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" >No.3 Ron Artest</h1>
Actual order: 16
Highlights: Best Defender, 1 Championship, 1 All-Star, 2 Defensive 1st, 2nd Defensive 2nd
This edition has produced a lot of defensive elites, Possi, Kirilenko, Marion are particularly good forward defenders, but Atai (Ci Shiping) is the only one to win the best defensive player. During the Pacers and Kings period, he was one of the league's top small forwards, averaging 20 points per game that may not be as good as James, Melon, and Pierce, who was known for his offense, but Arte's defense was definitely the existence of the small card of that era, and even snatched the best defensive player from the peak Ben Wallace. After turning back to the Lakers, it became the last piece of the Lakers championship puzzle. In addition to the support provided defensively, he also hit a crucial three-pointer in the finals of the Finals. Of course, violence is also another label of Athai, and the Auburn Hill Palace incident is a highlight of his career, in addition to a big elbow for Harden.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="49" >No.2 Sean Marion</h1>
Actual pick: 9th pick
Highlights: 1 championship, 4 All-Stars, 2 third team
Hacker Marion, like AK47, will be an extremely popular striker in this small-ball era. During the Solar period, he was the league's most comprehensive interior line. His extra-long arms and rapid movements make him an innately good defender, and his strange shooting posture has never been replicated. Together with Xiaosi and Nash, he led the Suns to a run-and-run storm, making the Suns the top team in the league at that time. And he himself has been selected as an All-Star for many seasons, which is also the background of Jordan's killing. Later in his career, the Suns exchanged Marion for O'Neal, who had already fallen badly, and it turned out to be a failure. Marion later won the championship with Dirk, Terry, Kidd and Chandler in the Mavericks, and marion was undoubtedly lucky compared to his old teammates Xiaosi and Nash. He scored 17,700 points, second in the same year; 10,010 rebounds, the first in the same class.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="50" >No.1 Manu Ginobili</h1>
Actual pick: 57th pick
Highlights: 4 NBA championships, best sixth man, two All-Stars, led the team to win Olympic gold medals
Ginobili is undoubtedly one of the greatest international players, Ginobili has another 20 minutes of Jordan's reputation, and it is not unfounded that he was selected with the 57th pick and was able to counterattack after rearranging. In the NBA, he spent 17 years with the Spurs, and as a member of the Spurs' GDP, he gave everything for the Spurs. As one of the best number two in the NBA, he gave up starting for the team as a whole and was willing to stay on the bench, and he also helped spurs win the championship four times. And in the international arena he is even greater, leading the team to defeat the United States at the 2002 World Championships, and defeating the United States again in the 2004 Olympic Games to win the championship, Ginobili is like an insurmountable gap in front of the American team. Although his hair is getting thinner, but there is always oil in the fuel tank, he is still the best offensive choice for the Spurs bench before retiring, and the Argentine demon knife is worthy of this year's title.
