I have to admit that Paul is old. He has been a starter since he entered the league in 2005 and played for 18 years before joining the Warriors this season before starting as a bench. But even if he is a veteran, Paul also has the strength to talk about juvenile madness, and today against the Mavericks, in the case of the Splash Brothers, Paul shot 9 of 14 and scored 24 points and 6 assists. After this battle, Paul's career total also exceeded 22,000 points. can be called the face of the 05 draft, but what about Delong, Lowe and Ellis in the same class?
In the 2005 draft, Paul was selected with the fourth pick. He started his career with the Hornets, who were at the peak of his debut, with perfect skills, scoring, organization, and defense. Since then, he has played for the Clippers, Rockets, Thunder, Suns and Warriors, and has been outstanding individually. He has played 1,242 games so far in his career, averaging 17.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game, and his total scoring is as high as 22,012 points, making him the most successful star in the '05 draft.
The champion show of the year was the notorious Bogut. Bogut plays dirty, so the wind reviews are not good. However, in terms of strength, he is a qualified champion. Bogut spent a total of 14 years in the NBA, playing for the Bucks, Warriors, Mavericks, Cavaliers, and Lakers. In his peak season, he averaged 12.8 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, and won the league's block king. However, his scoring ability is mediocre, averaging only 9.6 points per game in his career, and his total scoring is 6808 points.
Deron Williams was a super point guard on par with Paul back then, both of them were master passers, and Delon was more talented and had excellent breakthrough ability. He was a tanhua show at the time, averaging 20 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists per game at his peak, and he was also selected for the All-Star stage many times. is a superstar who can score and organize, Delon has played a total of 12 seasons in his career, averaging 16 points and 8 assists per game, he has accumulated 13,804 points, and there is no ball to play after the age of 32.
Lu Wei's strength is also very good, he was a second-round debut, although the pick is not high, but the scoring ability is very strong, especially good at making fouls. At his peak, Lowe was the league's super sixth man, averaging 23 points and 5 assists per game. He played in the NBA for a total of 17 seasons and scored a total of 15,593 points, which is the No. 2 in the same class.
There is another player who has to be mentioned, and he is Montaellis. Ellis was also a second-round pick, but he has shown an extremely strong scoring ability since his sophomore year. In his heyday, he was the boss of the Warriors, and when Curry first entered the league, he was Ellis's younger brother. Ellis's career is not long, only 12 years, but at his peak, he averaged 25.5 points per game, and he also averaged 20 points per game in many seasons, so his total points reached 14,858 points, which is a remarkable performance. On the whole, the '05 draft is a small year of the draft, and Paul is the only one.
