15 years is generally a big draft year compared to the 14-year draft, this player's talent is very good, the outside world was also very concerned about this draft, so now 8 years have passed, what kind of results this player has achieved in the league now. If you re-ranked the top five according to your own strength and honor, who would it be?
5 – Kevin Rooney
Rooney is one of the most successful players in this class, Rooney did not have any opportunities to play early in his career, when the Warriors were at their peak, the team would not give rookies room to make mistakes, and then Bogut and some other centers left, Rooney got a chance to play. After the adjustment of Green, the best defensive player, it is really a blessing for a team like the Warriors that lacks an interior gate, and the team has won three championships.
4 – Angelo Russell
As the star of that year's draft, Russell was selected by the Lakers, just in time for Kobe's retirement season, when fans gave Russell a lot of responsibility. However, Russell played tepid with the Lakers, and the only biggest news was the recording door incident with Nick Young. His offense is explosive, he likes to go it alone, and he is suitable for being the second boss of a team. Despite his average honors, he has averaged many 20+ performances per game in his career, after all, it is the small-ball era, and Russell is still very marketable for teams that lack offensive points.
3 – Kristaps Porzingis
Bo Shen was the No. 4 pick that year, Bo Shen's talent is very good, his athleticism is also good, and he has good shooting ability, and the frame is also an elite level. He also had a highlight season averaging 22.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game. However, he only played 48 games this year due to injury, which basically predicted that his entire career could not escape the impact of injury, and he was just playing the best performance of his career and was selected as an All-Star, and he was reimbursed for the injury season. Later, it was also constantly traded, and the attendance rate was also miserable. Next season will start his new season with the Celtics, and hopefully he can play well.
2 – Carl Anthony Downs
Towns was the top pick of the year, and his three-point shot is unique among centers, and his style of play is very suitable for the current small-ball era. The selling points of the draft were still projection and defense, and with his excellent physical talent, scouts agreed that Downs was the one with the best chance of winning the best defensive player in this draft. However, after entering the NBA, the defense has been criticized and ridiculed by fans as too "soft". But under the Timberwolves system, Downs' data will not be bad, and if nothing else, the All-Star will definitely be a regular visitor.
1 – Devin Booker
Booker was the 13th pick quarterback of the year and the same start as that man, when the Suns selected Booker with this pick was also with a try-and-give attitude, as a man with talent straight to Ibaka, he averaged 13.8 points per game in his rookie season, and held a single 70+ in his second season, because the Suns' results have been bad, making fans think he is just a data brush. Booker came into the public eye in the 2019-2020 season, and his final games were arguably a big hit. Later, with the addition of Paul, the two also teamed up to reach the Finals and are now one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
