Paul Pierce is finally officially inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
How did he play back then? At that time, his running and jumping was not the top of the league, but he was a smart man who knew how to maximize his advantages, he was powerful, and the players who were generally in his position were always at a disadvantage when fighting. His low-post fake moves are realistic and make defenders dance; he has a lot of skills on the offensive end, back-to-back singles, mid-range jump shots, three-pointers, foul-making... He will.
O'Neill, the shark, once said of him: He is more powerful than I expected. Paul Pierce is the truth.
Paul Pierce played 1,343 regular season games in the NBA, with a total of 26,397 points, 7,527 rebounds and 4,708 assists, and he has been selected to the All-Star Team 10 times, won a championship trophy once, and won an FMVP trophy. Won a lot of honors.
Pierce is so strong, when the draft was only the No. 10 show, which players are in front of him, and are they also excellent results? Let's take a look at it today.
9th pick: Nowitzki
8th pick: Larry Hughes
7th pick: Jason Williams
6th pick: Robert Treller
5th pick: Carter
4th pick: Jamison
3rd overall pick: Raif Laflence
2nd overall pick: Mike Bibby
1st pick: Michael Orovo candy
Now it seems that the 1998 draft is still a lot of fierce roles, the strength of the No. 9 show Nowitzki needless to say, a golden rooster independent, in the NBA can be called an unrestricted existence. And Carter is also an idol in the hearts of many fans, one of the four major pointbacks in the famous earthquake league that year. The dunks are very ornamental.
However, the top three picks of this session, the gold content is a little low, Bibi still can still see the past, the average per game is 14.7 points, 3.1 boards and 5.5 assists. Michael Orovo Candi, on the other hand, was labeled a parallelist, averaging only 8.3 points and 6.8 boards per game in his career, and was never selected for the All-Star Team in his career. And Tanhua Raief Laffrenz's performance did not meet expectations, averaging only 10.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He is a big pitcher, likes to shoot on the outside, is not good at playing the inside, has good blocking ability, and has a high basketball IQ. If he had been in this small ball era, maybe he would have achieved more.
Brothers, if the 1998 draft were to come back, whose shift do you think would change? Where can Pierce and Nowitzkirkat be ranked?
