As we all know, the NBA's 2021 draft is recognized as a big year for the draft, featuring Cunningham, Jaylen. The rookie genius led by Green is hailed as the strongest average strength in the past 10 years, and some people even compare them with the 96th and 03rd, which is still a game that has not been played, and this public opinion has already held these young people to a very high position.
When it comes to draft years, people can often say several years, such as 96/03/09, but do you know which year the draft is? If you have to say a year, the first to bear the brunt is the rookie of 2013
Champion / List Eye / Tanhua: People say that the draft law of the past years is "the first three must have a water", but 2013 is really very unexpected, because the water is two and a half, The champion Anthony Bennett needless to say, can be called the first water cargo in history, in the case of no injury and no disease, is the worst of the mixed Yuanxiu; Tanhualang Little Otto Porter opened high and low, in the Wizards once became the team's key training object, those two years showed the potential of top 3D players, but successive injuries made his development come to an abrupt end, Joining the Warriors now is also a role player; Oladipo is the half player who played this year, and he was once an All-Star in the 17-18/18-19 seasons, but after the big injury, his efficiency is far less than before, and now he has disappeared.
4-14 pick: Cody. Zeller, Alex. Ryan, Norance. Knoll, Ben. McLemore, Kentavios. Cardwell. Pope, Trey. Burke, CJ. McCollum, Michael. Carter-Williams, Steven. Adams, Kelly. Olynyk, Shabbaz. Mohammed, we list these players in turn and you'll find that with the exception of CJ McCollum, who is the core player of the team, everyone else is a role player in the team most of the time.
In the 2013 draft, the title at that time was the most difficult to predict, there were as many as 3-5 players who had the possibility of becoming the champion at that time, but like Knoll and McLemore, who were still very well-known college players at the time, they were also very optimistic players, but then mixed almost unable to gain a foothold in the league, it was indeed somewhat unexpected.
The only two fig leaf: Of course, the 2013 class of players are not all wine bags, and in the 15th pick in the first round, the Milwaukee Bucks chose Giannis, who was only 18 years old at the time. Antetokounmpo, at the time, not too many people were too optimistic about this skinny Greek boy, who thought, is such a player, but became the best representative of the rookie of 13 years, and then he won the regular season MVP twice, and won the NBA championship in 2021, thinking about it is really a little afraid, if there is no Antetokounmpo, the best player in the class of 2013 is Rudi gobel!
With the 27th pick that same year, the Denver Nuggets selected French player Gobert, who was traded to the Utah Jazz, after which he became the league's strongest rim protector and is now a regular on the best team.
Interestingly, whether it is Antetokounmpo or Gobert, their adaptability to just entering the league is very low, the rookie season alphabet brother averaged only 6.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, and Gobert only had a pitiful 2.3 points and 3.4 rebounds, compared to mcAvoy who averaged 16+6+6 per game in the first season, it is really not worth mentioning, but unfortunately, the earliest laugh is not the last laugh. Incidentally, only 25 of the 13 rookies of the new season are still playing in the NBA, and in just the past 8 years, more than half of them are now unable to play in the NBA.
