Tatum is taking his Celtics on the way to the Finals to challenge Curry's Warriors. He is only 24 years old and was selected by the Celtics with the third pick in the 2017 draft.
Tatum's achievements today are only third in the draft at that time. Who are the two in front of him, and what are their achievements today?
Leaderboard: Lonzo Ball (Second pick for the Lakers, currently playing for the Bulls).
In his final year of high school, Ball averaged 3 double-doubles: 23.9 points, 11.3 boards, 11.7 assists, and crazy statistics led his high school to 35 wins and 0 losses, and won the first state championship in the school's history! After entering UCLA University for a year to participate in the draft, he was selected by the Lakers with the second pick. Because the performance did not meet expectations, in 2019, in the Lakers got a thick eyebrow deal, it was sent to the Pelicans. Later to the Bulls.
Individual achievements: Summer MVP, all-Star Rookie Challenge, 8 assists, 8 3-pointers - the first in Pelicans history;
Winner: Markle Fultz (first pick for the 76ers, currently playing for the Magic).
By the time he was in college, Fultz was already a household name and full of talent. The 2016–17 Pacific Varsity League All-Team First Team and the 2016 U18 Basketball Championship Foremost Value Player and other honors also confirm his ability. The NCAA averaged 23.2 points, 5.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game, and was hailed as the new hardener in the league.
But genius always invites jealousy. Starting out with muscular amnesia, which is fatal for basketball players, makes every shot you shoot is a new feeling, every time it's a new feel! For not cashing in on the talent, the 76ers traded him to the Magic in 2019.
At the Magic, he worked hard to shoot and finally slowly got on track, averaging 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game this season. But the injury once again came to him, the anterior cruciate ligament was broken, and he was reimbursed after just 8 games of the season! But he didn't fall in front of injuries and waited more than 400 days to play again!
Fultz said: "I feel the love of other people, which means a lot to me. No one else gives up on you, so why would you give up on your own? "This is Fultz's life credo.
The 17th rookie achievement is the highest in Tatum, but the story of Fultz is very inspiring!
Jazz's Donovan Mitchell is also in the 17th class, will he come later?
