The US media divided the champions of the past 25 years: Ayton four gears, Yao Ming Allen two gears, and two people in the first gear!

In the NBA, the most concerned about any draft is undoubtedly the team's champion, generally speaking, the champion represents the strongest talent of this draft, if they can cash in on the talent, then it will give the team a great boost, 5 of the top ten players in history are top picks, like the familiar James, Duncan, O'Neal, Magic and Abdul-Jabbar, are champions, from here you can also see how good the talent of the top picks is.

Of course, there are many parallel goods champions in the history of the NBA, and there are many reasons why they are watered, some because of injuries, some because they can't adapt to the intensity of the league, as the strongest talent in a draft, it's a pity to water. Having said that, recently the US media has divided the draft champions of the past 25 years, of which Yao Ming entered the second gear, let's take a look at whether this time the classification is reasonable?

Fifth gear

In this stall, there are basically some champions who have not fulfilled their talents, and the champion Fultz entered this stall in 2017, Fultz is not yet a parallel trader, but his performance in the early stage of his career has indeed not reached the level of a champion, he suffered from Ip's disease before, and is now trying his best to catch up with the self who has high hopes. Banyani is the champion of '06, and his individual ability is actually very good, but because of his poor confrontation ability, he did not reach the expected level, and his peak season averaged 21 points per game is also good.

Olovokandi also entered this bracket, he was the top pick in 1998, he was the same as King Notian and Pierce, but this person did not reach the expected height, and his career peak season was only averaging 12 points and 9 rebounds per game just a good blue-collar figure. Auden also entered this bracket, he was the top pick in '07, when Auden was called a once-in-a-kind center in 50 years, and if it weren't for the Trail Blazers veterinarian, perhaps his career ceiling would have been high.

Kwame Brown is also in this file, he is the draft champion in 01, when Jordan valued his talent, in order to train him did not hesitate to choose to come back to teach him, as a result, Kwame Brown did not reach the height of everyone's expectations, he was very psychologically fragile, because Jordan's criticism eventually led to not daring to play, and he also became a parallel trader. Bennett was the 2013 draft pick, the template was Captain Elton Brand, he has good physical fitness, but because he can't stand the criticism of the outside world, he eventually caused him to fall out, he can be said to be one of the most watery champions in history.

Fourth gear

This gear is basically the blue-collar level of the interior Bogut entered this gear, Bogut is the draft champion of '05, he can become a champion thanks to him being a center player, in that era unless it is a particularly outstanding talent, otherwise it is generally the center who becomes the champion, he is a good blue collar, but definitely not to the height of the star. Wiggins is also in this gear, Wiggins is underrated in this gear, he has good individual ability, and he has been selected as an All-Star before, although he has not fully cashed in on his talent, he deserves to enter a higher gear.

Ayton is the champion of 2018, he entered this gear, Ayton's template is Admiral Robinson, but Ayton has not been able to fight a tough battle, in this situation also caused Ayton to fail to meet everyone's expectations, but he is still young and still has a chance to become a better player in the future. Joe Smith is also in this class, he is the top in 1995, Joe Smith was also a top blue-collar player in his peak, he only averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds per game in his peak season, and his performance was not particularly impressive.

In fact, this list is from 2-19 years to the first 25 years, because the champions after 19 years are too young to fully realize their talents, so the US media ignored it.

Third gear

This file is basically an All-Star level champion, John Wall is the champion in 2010, he entered this file, Wall was the template of Rose, after Ross was injured he also became the first point guard in the East, but because of the injury Wall was also ruined. Towns was the 2015 pick, and Towns' draft template that year was Rashid Wallace, who was selected as an All-Star for his outstanding performances and previously led the Timberwolves to the playoffs.

Simmons is also in this gear, Simmons is the top pick in 2016, his draft template was James, maybe Simmons should switch positions with Wiggins, Simmons used to be really good, scored All-Star, but now the water is off is a blue-collar level, he does not develop three points, the future ceiling is like this. Elton Brand is also in this file, and Brand is Bennett's template, but Brand plays, and he was an All-Star in his prime.

Second gear

Iverson was the top player in 1996, he was only 1.85 meters but won MVP and scoring titles, one of the most successful small men in history, and existed in the top 30 levels of history. Howard is also in this gear, he is the champion of '04, although Howard does not have big honors, but he has won 3 Best Defensive Player, and has led the team to the division finals single-handedly, and there is no big problem in entering this gear.

Yao Ming is also in this file, Yao Ming is the champion of 02, if not for injuries, Yao Ming may be able to win more honors, all 8 years of his career is selected as an All-Star is also very good, he is also inducted into the Hall of Fame with his outstanding performance, Asia's most successful player. Irving is the top player in 2011, although he has not led the team to play a good performance, but after all, he has won the championship as a second-in-command, and it is not a big problem to enter this gear.

Griffin is also in this gear, Griffin as one of the most outstanding dunking players in NBA history, he is the champion of '09, Griffin was selected as an All-Star in the first season of his career, and won the best rookie, he has also been an All-Star for many years, but it was eventually ruined because of injury, which is also a pity. Rose is the top pick in '08, Rose is the youngest regular-season MVP in history, and if it weren't for injuries, Rose might have been able to reach higher heights, which is a shame for him and Griffin.

Zion, he is the top draft pick in 2019, to be honest Zion entering this gear is overrated, indeed in terms of his ability he has the level of a league superstar, but Zion's biggest problem is that he has too many injuries, his career has not played a relatively complete season so far, if the future is not good to be ruined by injury, and he has not won too many honors, it is not reasonable to enter this gear.

First gear

This file adds up to two champions, James and Duncan, these two are also historical supergiants, both of them are the top ten players in history, James has won 4 championships, 4 Finals MVPs and 4 regular season MVPs in his career, he is also the all-time total scoring king, the only player in history to achieve 30,000 + 10,000 + 10,000. Duncan has won five championships in his career, has three Finals MVPs and two regular season MVPs, and has been named to the All-NBA Team 15 times and All-First Defense 15 times in his career, totaling 30 all-time festations.
