仅剩2人：9号秀和10号秀
Recently, NBA star Hayward participated in George's podcast and talked about an interesting topic: the two of them were left in the 2010 draft!
海沃德时是这么说的：“我来自印第安纳，而你（乔治）被步行者选中，我们的选秀顺位相近，我们打相似的位置。 So, I've been following your situation, the players in the same draft will support each other, and the two of us are the last ones (in the class of 2010) who are still playing in the NBA, and we must be very old (hahaha). ”
Hayward was selected by the Jazz with the ninth pick in 2010 and George was selected by the Pacers with the tenth pick.
This rookie is a bit of a "premature aging"
You must know that the NBA league's 2003 rookie LeBron James is still sweating on the NBA court! Paul, Durant, Westbrook, and other rookies before the 2010 class are all playing in the NBA!
How did it come to the rookies of the 2010 class that were only Hayward and George?
The situation of the rookie in the first round of the year
First, the overall level of this rookie is really average, not only was it recognized as a small year in the draft, but the development of this group of players in the NBA was relatively mediocre.
A typical example is that many players in this draft come to play in the CBA, such as Monroe, who now plays for the Sichuan team, is the No. 7 pick, You Du, who previously played for Shougang and Beikong, is the No. 6 pick, Bledsoe with the 18th pick, and Stephenson, the 40th pick. In addition, Jeremy Lin was also a failed draft pick in the class of 2010!
Most of these players came to the CBA to pan for gold at the age of 30 or even younger, indicating that they could not adapt to the intensity of the NBA at that time.
Second, there are many injuries and illnesses. John Wall, the No. 5 pick in the 2010 class, and Hayward, who is still playing in the NBA, all suffered major injuries during their NBA careers, preventing them from taking the next step in their careers. Now, Cousins is also going to play in the Taiwan league. This year's rookies include Jeremy Lin and Kaoshen, who play in the Taiwan League.
“长寿”球星能力强+身体好缺一不可
Like James and Curry, the current "long-lived" stars of the NBA, as well as the retired old stars such as Jordan, Kobe, and Carter, can play in the NBA league for a long time, in addition to their own ability, a more important factor is the health of the body! Like the ancient beast Chamberlain, people go to play volleyball after retiring in the NBA, and still win the championship!
According to this logic, the rookies of the class of 2010 are playing normally, after all, it has been 14 years since they entered the league!
