I saw a news this morning that with Jabari Parker being cut by the Celtics, a total of six former top ten picks were cut by their team last week.
In addition to Parker in 14 years, there was also 14 years of fifth overall pick Ikesam was cut by the Rockets, 15 years of Detective Okafor was cut by the Hawks, 15 years of eighth pick Stanley Johnson was cut by the Bulls, 5th pick of 16 years Dunn was cut by the Grizzlies, 8th pick of 16 years Chris was cut by the Blazers.
In fact, there are still many people who have not been counted, such as brandon Knight, the eighth pick in 11 years, who was cut by the Knicks the day before yesterday. The eighth overall pick in '14, Stauskas, was cut by the Nuggets yesterday.
Did you find a pattern, is the frequency of the eighth order a little high? Take a closer look at the eighth pick rookie of the past decade, and you'll see that this pick is really a bit toxic.
The 2010 no. 8 show was Aminu, who played well in his career, was a qualified starter, and signed big contracts twice. But after joining the Magic in 19 years, he has been injured and has been traded to the Spurs and is trying to stay on.
The 2011 no. 8 show was Brandon Knight, a player he liked very much, and once played against Irving in his rookie game. Later, it was also because of a major injury that he was devastated and had not played in the league for a long time.
The 2012 no. 8 show Terrance Rose, which is the best developed of these no. 8 shows, has surprised many people in the Raptors' debut, made a name for himself in the Magic, and signed 54 million for 4 years in 2019.
The eighth show of 2013 is Pop, everyone is familiar with it, the 2020 Lakers' championship hero, but it was abandoned by the Lakers this summer.
In 2014, the eighth show Stauskas, a very good white shooter in college, but only played in the NBA for five years. Five teams have changed in five seasons, leaving the NBA in 2019 to play in Europe.
In 2015's no. 8 show, Stanley Johnson made his debut defensively, but the offense never practiced. The rookie contract was abandoned by the Pistons near the end of the contract, signed two-year 7.5 million with the Raptors in 19 years, and could not find a job this summer, and the Rockets are said to be interested.
In 2016, the eighth show Markis Chris was selected by the Suns, has always been a rough brother, and his personality is not very good. He played well with the Warriors in the 19-20 season, but was abandoned by the Warriors last season due to an injury. Summer tried to find a job at the Trailblazers and ultimately failed.
In 2017, the eighth show Nilikina, another victim of the Knicks draft quagmire, the basket has never been able to practice. After the rookie contract ended, he was signed by the Lone Ranger this summer.
2018 No. 8 coach Colin Sexton, the Cavaliers' original james successor, played the Nets last season, but was not liked by management, and the offseason attempt to get a contract extension failed, and it is estimated that it will be abandoned by the Cavaliers.
2019 no. 8 pick Jaxon Hayes, the buddy was exposed in the offseason after an argument with the police was arrested, and then was stunned on the spot by the other side with an electric baton. The Pelican paid 25,000 bail to bail him out, which was a thorn in the head.
Last year's no.8 pick Topin, who only had 11 minutes of playing time last season, always felt that he could not be reused by Thibodeau. This year's no. 8 show was chosen by the Magic, Wagner, and good luck to him.
