Before we talked about the top ten rehearsals of the draft in 2002, today we will continue to talk about the top ten of the 01 draft, compared to the 02 class, the overall color of the 01 draft is slightly better, this year's defenders, forwards and interior lines have good players, although the draft is destroyed, but other players are still very good, this kind of topic we have talked about several issues before, about the draft rearrangement, interested friends can look at my previous articles, to understand the history.
Before talking about the top ten of the draft, let's talk about several outstanding players outside the top ten of this year: Zachlanddorf with the 19th pick, the low floor flower, the 25th pick Gerald Wallace all-around fighter, the 20th pick Tony Park French sports car, the second round second overall General Arenas, all became All-Star players at the peak, and the 13th pick Richard Jefferson was also an excellent blue-collar worker at the peak, so let's get to the point.
10 DeSagana diop
The original eighth pick, Diop as a center, although the technique is not good, but because of the height of 2.14 meters, plus weight of 128 kg, the oversized figure and squat position are also liked by many teams, in that era of internal rampage, there is O'Neal's squat and weight can get the favor of other teams, but Diop is too slow, after entering the league has not been reused, the Cavaliers did not even renew his contract after the rookie contract.
However, Diop is good at his leadership temperament, has a lot of say in the locker room, although the peak of his career is only 3 points and 5 boards per game, but he has always had a team to want. After retiring from the army, he also successfully became a teaching assistant, having served as an assistant coach in the Rockets, and now it seems that he is a teaching assistant at the Jazz, which can also be regarded as a good belonging.
9 Eddie Griffin
The original seventh pick, the old Rockets fans should know Eddie Griffin, he was Yao Ming's former teammate, the Rockets' most potential big forward, if it is not an attitude problem and off-court life chaos, he would have been one of the top three favorites in this draft, averaging 17.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.4 blocks per game in college, the best freshman in the United States that year, but the young man loved to drink and ignored the team discipline, and was eventually removed from the team in the Rockets.
Although he later proved himself in the Timberwolves, he was only short-lived, often had problems with alcoholism, and eventually ended up with no ball to play, averaging 7 points and 6 boards per game in his career. He played much like Rashid Wallace, but his defensive ability was better than that of The Roaring Heavenly Lord, and he was killed in a car accident because he did not listen to advice, and many players in the 00s and before were eventually destroyed because they were oblivious after an overnight rich in the NBA, and Griffin was one of them.
8 Rodney White
The original ninth pick, Rodney White believes that the fans of the old Shandong men's basketball team should know, he played for the Shandong men's basketball team for 10 years, and also helped Zhejiang play in the playoffs in 12 years, the player's off-court life is also very chaotic, the Grizzlies selected him because of his talent and athletic ability, but because of the chaotic life off the court, he was traded to the Nuggets next season, and in the first year of the Nuggets he averaged 9 points and 3 rebounds per game.
As a role player is not bad, but White because of his own got a stable job, and then the gun, drug incident was exposed, he played the rookie contract after no one cared, but then Rodney White decided to change the past, began to do more public welfare undertakings, the prodigal son turned back to gold, although he could not play, but he could realize his own value, and he could also develop to the benefits.
7 Kwame Brown
The original champion, for Quame Brown believes that everyone is no stranger, he is Jordan's valued champion, high school student draft, for him Jordan did not hesitate to choose to come back to guide this champion, but self-defeating, this high school average of 20.1 points, 13.3 rebounds and 5.8 blocks of the super inside line, after entering the league, because of the pressure given by fans and Jordan's repeated reprimands, he also lost self-confidence, and eventually became one of the most watery champions in history.
At the peak of his career, Kwame Brown averaged 10 points, 7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, from here you can also see that his potential is good, but there is only one O'Neal in history, this year's template O'Neill's players are not only Kwame Brown, there is another, we say slowly, and after saying Kwame Brown, the top ten picks of this session are all said, and the quality of the next few is very good.
6 Eddy Curry
The original fourth pick, yes, this is another template O'Neal player, Eddie Curry is really the "template" O'Neal, large, tall 2.14 meters, weighing 159 kg, in the peak period is the only can hard steel O'Neal is not worthy of the center, but his athleticism and technology can not be compared with O'Neal, but there is strength is still good, as the saying goes, a force drop ten will, with the power of terror, Eddy Curry peak period is also the existence of 19 points and 7 rebounds per game.
But the weight is too large, Eddy Curry does not know maintenance, which also makes him often injured, the last 4 years of his career played a total of 26 games, from the age of 25 after the peak is not there, hard to 30 years old to have no ball to play, from here we can also see the Knicks' expectations of him, he is not watery, after all, proved himself, but the peak is too short to accumulate decent honors, but even so 12 years also mixed with the old Zhan a championship, very lucky.
5 Jason Richardson
The original fifth pick, for Richardson, I believe that the older player is not unfamiliar with him, the two-time All-Star Contest dunk king, at that time can be said to be in addition to Carter, one of the players with the strongest dunk ability in actual combat, all kinds of 360, big windmill, Richardson was valued by the Jazz with excellent athleticism, but Richardson's advantages and disadvantages are too obvious, the offensive ability is really good, and the others are very crotchy.
At his peak, he averaged 23.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and shot 44% from the field, which is really great to see, but the team can't play the record, he has not been selected once an All-Star, more like a brush, and his career average of 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game is not bad.
4 Sean Battier
The original sixth pick, for Battier presumably everyone is not unfamiliar, whether he is in the Heat period or the Rockets period, although not an All-Star, but definitely the top blue-collar, defense, three-point and strategy are top-notch, in this small-ball era he will also be the top blue-collar player, Battier's peak period is just an average of 10 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, why do I rank him ahead of Richardson?
Because Battier has a great role in the team's winning, the players have excluded looking at the data, the most important thing is the honor, Battier as the team starter helped the team win two championships, and was also selected for the best defensive team 2 times, his defensive ability is very good, one of the representatives of the golden oil players.
3 Tyson Chandler
The original list eye, the boxing king became the league leader not because of how good his offensive skills were, but because of his defense, just like Uncle Mu at that time, he became a high-ranking draft by defense, and the professional boxing champion was also very successful, averaging 10 points and 10 rebounds in double-double data at the peak of the game, with excellent defense, he also won the best defensive player, and was selected for the best team 3 times and the best three-team, all-star.
11 years without Chandler, the Lone Ranger could not win the championship, precisely because Chandler locked the inside line, but also gave Nowitzki a defense, making up for the lack of nordic king defense. Even after the advent of the small-ball era, the boxer still has a team willing to want him with a top-level protective frame, he played until the age of 37 before retiring from the league, and played for the Rockets for 20 years.
2 Joe Johnson
The original tenth pick, singles Joe, I believe this player should be no stranger, the draft fell to the tenth pick because of insufficient defensive ability, his offensive skills are very outstanding, and finally he also played an All-Star player with his own efforts and play, his career has been selected as an All-Star 7 times, and the reason why Joe Johnson is well known, the main problem is his ability to kill, 41 times in his career, 8 times to suppress the whistle!
This is a super big heart! At his peak, he averaged 18.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, and was once the Eagle King of Atlanta, in addition to being selected as an All-Star, he was also selected to the Best Team, but due to limited defensive ability and insufficient ability to lead the team, he did not win a championship, which is a pity.
1 Gasol
Original detective flower, Gasol became famous in Barcelona, the second year of his career played an average of 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block performance per game, shooting 55% of the shooting rate, three-point shooting rate of 35%, the template given by the original scout was Jordan's championship hero Kukoc and the key Mr. Robert Horry, and Gasol's offensive ability to hold the ball was better than the two, so he was taken down by the Grizzlies in the third overall pick, in the era of finding players in Europe with Nowitzki as a template, Gasol is also a miracle.
After entering the league, Gasol also lived up to the expectations of the team to play an All-Star, and then joined the Lakers to help Kobe Bryant win two championships, the Lakers won the championship of the second boss, 6 career All-Stars, 4 times the best team, the peak of the average 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists per game is very comprehensive. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the top ten of this year's draft? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
