Aside from parallel champion Kwame Brown, what other impressions do you have of the 2001 draft? Who should be the best player of '01 between Parker and Gasol? Start with the comments section!
The class of 2001 was also a small draft year, but compared to 2000, the color was much better. It is worth mentioning that Yao Ming had the opportunity to participate in the draft this year, only to fulfill the promise of winning a CBA championship for the Shanghai Sharks and missed a year.
If Dayao runs in 01, is Boss Joe's determination to choose Kwame Brown still so great?
To get back to business, let's start with the beads, Bobby Simmons, the 42nd pick in the second round, the most improved player in '05, accompanied the UAE from the Bucks to the Nets in exchange for Richard Jefferson;
Dalemport, 26th pick, averaged 10+10 per game in '08;
Shaun Battier, 6 picks, two second defenses, real defensive ability above these honors.
Monkeys 2001 draft rearrangement: 10th place, Memet Oku, real pick 37, career 10 years, once an All-Star, peak 06 years 18 points and 9 rebounds, 3 times 17 points or more season, Yao Ming playoffs bitter master, grabbed seven repeated shots, but finally quasi-kill the Rockets,
It is said that Yao Ming's toe injury was caused by a deliberate stampede by Oku.
Ninth: Gerard Wallace, real pick 25, 13 years in his career, once an All-Star, once a defense. In the early years, the king was not taken seriously, and he was selected after the establishment of the Bobcat team, and he began to be 15+7+5 in 05, and the peak was close to 20+ in 08,
Destroyed explosive power by a villain by Bynum and shortened his career.
Eighth: Jason Richardson, real pick 5, career 13 years, Black Eight Warriors main scorer, many years of 20+, two-time dunk king, 10 years with the Suns to return to the Western Conference finals important signing.
Seventh: Richard Jefferson, real pick 13, career 16 years, the Nets' two-time Finals No. 3, peak two seasons 22 points, in the Bucks as the main attacker, three-point shooting 40,
Later went to the Spurs to replace Bowen, but could not integrate into the Spurs system, I don't know what he is worse than Bowen. He eventually won the championship with James in the Cavaliers.
Sixth: Tyson Chandler, real pick 2, 21 years career, one All-Star, one best defensive player, one three-team, one defense, two two-defense; The interior pillar of the 11-year Lone Ranger's championship.
In the early years at the Bulls, the blocking offensive role was activated by Paul, and in the Knicks and Jeremy Lin, the blocking effect was amazing. Perhaps when the transaction was returned, no one would have imagined that he would have such a long career.
Fifth: Zach Randolph, real pick 19, 16 years career, 1 3 teams, 2 All-Stars, 1 fastest improving player. In the early years, there were a lot of negative news on and off the field, and it was also a typical data brush.
In the later stage, he found a suitable positioning in the Grizzlies, formed a black and white double bear with Gasol Jr., and shocked the alliance with one attack and one defense, perennial 20+,
And led the Black Eight Spurs in 11 years,
It is also because of his presence that Griffin's playoff performance has been criticized. His career, it sounds good that the prodigal son does not change his gold, and it is difficult to say that he also moves the tree and Si people.
Fourth place: Gilbert Arenas, a real pick of 31, averaging 20.7 points and 5.3 assists per game in his 10-year career, a two-team, a three-time all-star, and a classic story of the most improved player counterattack.
In the advertising slogan, in their eyes, I am a useless 0, and all I have to do is keep training and training, which is no longer a question of whether I can play basketball well, I have to prove that they are wrong.
Peak 06 playoffs lost 6 games to James, the data is slightly inferior to the scene is not lost, but in the following years, his own injuries were frequent, and James's ability skyrocketed, Agent 0 had no resistance to the emperor.
I don't know if my career was ruined by injury or by the stupid weapons incident in the locker room.
Third place: Joe Johnson, 10 real picks, 18 years in his career, 1 three-team, 7-time All-Star.
The Suns rose to prominence, but because the Suns Picks owner Savor did not keep people, he went to the Hawks to be the boss, but achieved his own star level upgrade.
However, his playoff performance during the Hawks period was not impressive, and he was not as trustworthy as the "single Joe" mode in the later years in the Nets and Jazz.
It is worth mentioning that the star-studded Nets in 14 years only found out in the end that Joe, the singles with the lowest coffee position, was the only thigh.
After retiring in 19 years, he mixed with the three-man basketball league, but returned to the NBA in 21 to play a ticket, which shows this person's love for basketball in his bones.
So, who is Parker and Gasol in '01 who is the ultimate champion in the monkeys' minds?
Second place: Pau Gasol, real pick 3, career 18 years, six-time All-Star, two second teams, two thirds, Rookie of the Season, No. 2 core of the 0910 two-year championship.
Well, since the answer has been revealed, then I will directly say the first place.
No. 1: Tony Parker, true pick 28, career 17 years, six-time All-Star, three-time second-team, one-time third-team, '07 Finals MVP, 14-year champion Spurs' leading scorer.
The basic honors are similar, and the championship honor Parker has obvious advantages, but their situation is somewhat special: Gasol is better in terms of talent and hard power level, Parker is relatively single-functional, giving the impression that there is a system bonus.
Also a European player, Parker prefers the American style of guard, never the first point guard, but only responsible for sending all the first point guards home in the playoffs.
Gasol is an authentic European insider and the first player to prove that European basketball can succeed in the NBA, and he is more like a fully weakened version of Jokic.
The Monkeys' current player's favorite Jokic stems from their love for Gasol.
But just as we can't prove what the ceiling Parker can achieve without Duncan and Popovich, Gasol's achievements without Bryant and Phil Jackson are limited. Gasol scored 17 points in his regular season career and 15.4 in the playoffs,
Parker, on the other hand, scored 15.5 points in the regular season and nearly 18 in the playoffs. And when Gasol was at his peak, almost every year in the second half of the season, there would be problems with his physical condition, resulting in a serious decline in efficiency, whether it was the early Grizzlies, or the Bulls who rejuvenated their second spring, even in the years of the Lakers, they were ignored because of their status as second-in-command, and Parker, consistent stability is still more reassuring.
So in the 2001 draft rearrangement, I would pick Parker because I was confident that I would find the right coach and tailor a mature system, rather than choosing Gasol, who had his own system, because I didn't have the confidence to pick another Kobe.
After the warm-up in 01, how should the 2002 election of Yao Ming, the most familiar to Chinese fans, be ranked? Let's talk next time!
