It can be said that it is not unusual for high-ranking players to become NBA "tramps", from ancient times to the present, there were Kwame Brown, Milisic, and now there is Jalil Okafor! Okafor was selected by the 76ers with the third overall pick in 2015, and over the next six seasons, he moved between the Nets, Pelicans and Pistons and gradually became a fringe player.
Previously, in the Jordan Jr. trade, Okafor was sent to the Nets, and only 1 month after being cut, Okafor was unemployed again! He has just been cut by the Hawks, so far unclaimed, due to slow movement, will not shoot three points, Okafor is likely to be abandoned by the league! It is reported that last season in the Pistons, he averaged 13 minutes per game, with 5.4 points and 2.4 rebounds.
As a former Duke center, the best newcomer in the United States, and an infinitely beautiful probing flower, Okafor has fallen into such a field today, which is indeed a pity! The 2015 Tanhua Show was abandoned by the team, so do you know what the status quo of the champions and the top eyes is? Is it a spring breeze or is it like Okafor, no one cares?
D'Angelo Russell
Entered the league for 6 years, Okafor played for 5 teams, Russell was also not optimistic, he went through 4 teams, after the second pick was selected by the Lakers, Russell did not play the price, after being sent to the Nets, Russell accumulated thick hair, the data increased to 21 points and 7 assists, the first time in his career was selected as an All-Star, ushering in a highlight moment.
However, the good times did not last long, and after making a name for himself, Russell was sent to the Warriors in a deal involving Durant, and the following year, he and Wiggins were exchanged and traded to the Timberwolves. Last season at the Timberwolves, Russell averaged 19 points, 5.8 assists per game, and 38.7 percent from three-point range, gradually settling into the starting position.
Champion, Carl Anthony Downs
The 15th list is Russell, the champion is Towns, and coincidentally, the two are still teammates! After being drafted by the Timberwolves, Towns has been playing here, and in the 2017-18 season, the center of the league broke out completely, averaging 21.3 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, and was selected as an All-Star while also entering the third team.
Although the personal data is gorgeous, unfortunately, the Timberwolves' record has always been unsatisfactory, and it is no wonder that as the team's star, Downs's ability to lead the team will be questioned. But the good news is that this season, the Timberwolves brought in Beverly, plus Edwards and Russell, and the future is still bright.
It can be seen that the 15th is still very powerful, the champions and the eyes are all-stars, Tanhua Okafor did not play out, in addition, there were several star players, such as Porzingis with the 4th pick, Miles Turner with the 11th pick, Booker with the 13th pick, Rozier with the 16th pick, and Harrell with the second round pick.
