Lillard is one of the NBA's superstars, and he has a lot of individual ability, especially the long-range three-pointer, which is the first in history. During his time with the Trail Blazers, he played a lot of strong individual performances, but the team was stagnant and controversial. Now 33 years old, he joined the Bucks and challenged for a championship. Today he ushered in a milestone moment, breaking through the 20,000-point mark, which can be called the light of the 12th class, so how many points did the players such as Thick Eyebrows, Beal, and Middleton in the same class score?
As the No. 6 pick in 12 years, Lillard is very strong, and he played a top performance when he first entered the league, averaging 19 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists per game in his rookie season, and directly snatched the best rookie trophy from thick eyebrows. Since then, he has continued to perform first-class and is a perennial All-Star player in the league. At the same time, he is also an iron man, so far in his career, he has played 794 games, handed over an average of 25 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and successfully entered the 20,000-point club.
Thick Eyebrows was the top pick in 2012, and he was also the most talented and successful star of the same period. From the Pelicans to the Lakers, thick eyebrows have always been the overlord of the interior line, the king of blocks during the Pelicans period and a soft hand. After joining the Lakers, he also won the championship trophy as he wished. However, the attendance rate of thick eyebrows is far inferior to Lillard, he only played 685 games, averaged 24 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, and he scored 16,447 points both offensively and defensively, which is also very good.
Beal is also an All-Star quarterback, with a combination of talent and skill. During the Wizards' time, Beal has proven himself to be a comprehensive offensive end, and he is an existence that can shoot suddenly. Now he joins the Suns, but he is plagued by injuries. So far in his career, Beal has played a total of 701 games, averaging 22.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and his current total score is 15,479 points, which is a remarkable performance.
Middleton is a representative of the low-pick counterattack, in the draft that year, Middleton was not selected until the 9th pick in the second round, played 1 year with the Pistons and was traded, and was a player who started off the bench, and the starting point of his career was not high. However, he exploded with the Bucks, became an All-Star, and also won a championship. Now he has played in 705 games, averaging 16.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, accumulating 11,903 points.
Also counterattacking with a low pick is the Warriors' Dream Green, who was also a second-round pick that year. However, he is a defensive player, so his trajectory is different from Middleton's. Dream is one of the league's best defenders and is good at playmaking, but his offensive approach is mediocre. Dream Chaser is also a four-time All-Star forward, played 773 games, averaged 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and scored only 6,722 points in total, which is a Rodman-style player.
There are still many stars in the 12th session, and Zhuang Shen has also been an All-Star twice, with a total of 10,506 points, but now the decline is obvious. Harrison Barnes is a conscientious player, who has always been a starter, and has quietly scored 12,086 points. The star show that year was McGee, who only scored 3,750 points and has now been eliminated from the NBA.
