Every season, the NBA awards the rookie season's best rookie trophy, encouraging young people who have made great contributions to the team or exploded their personal performance in the rookie season, and most of the best rookie winners are truly outstanding in personal data or lead the team to turn the salted fish, and we will take stock of those rookies who have excellent data but have not won awards today.
Ninth place Ken Jan Martin Draft year 2000
This draft is mediocre, the champion is the empty physical talent of Kenjan Martin, rookie season Martin averaged 12 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. But the best rookie was won by McMiller, who averaged only 11.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, perhaps the biggest reason for the award was his 40% three-point shooting rate.
Eighth Place Hakim Olajuwon Draft year 1984
The Rockets rookie averaged 20.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.7 blocks per game, both offensive and defensive ends of the team to bring great contributions, but michael Jordan averaged 28.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2.4 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, and was selected as an All-Star in the rookie season and was selected to the best team, regardless of popularity or strength of the rookie name.
Seventh place Ron Harper Draft year 1986
The Cavaliers' 8th overall pick in the first round, Harper, who was selected with the 8th pick in the first round, averaged 22.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.1 steals and 1 block per game, and almost became another 20+5+5 player after Jordan, but the best rookie of the season was won by Pacers No. 4 coach Chuck Person. The latter averaged 18.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, not only became the team's scoring and rebounding kings in the rookie season and led the team to 13 more wins than last year, leading the team to break into the playoffs, Although Harper's data is good, but the team's record is miserable, there is a suspicion of brushing data.
6th Place: Mutombo Draft year 1991
Uncle Mu was selected by the Nuggets with the 4th pick in the first round, and averaged 16.6 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 3 blocks and 0.6 steals per game in the rookie season, averaging 16.6 points per game, a career-high score. Larry Johnson, who was selected by the Hornets that season, averaged 19.2 points, 11 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1 steal per game, and the team's performance was not much better when the two were almost the same, and Johnson won the best rookie with a more ornamental style of play.
Fifth place Anfinni Hardaway and Jamal Mashburn draft year 1993
As soon as he debuted, Hardaway stood up to Jordan's successor, with a fluttering autumn breeze and an outpouring of spirit, averaging 16 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists and 2.3 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. The Mavericks selected talented forward Marshburn with the 4th pick in the first round, averaging a rookie season of 19.2 points per game plus 4.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 blocks. But the best rookie of the year was the most gorgeous big forward Chris Weber, the omnipotent Weber averaged 17.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks per game, and the best rookie was also deserved.
Fourth place Cameron Anthony Draft year 2003
Anthony was selected by the Nuggets with the 3rd pick in the first round, and the rookie season won the Western Conference Rookie of the Month, averaging a rookie-high 21 points plus 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game and successfully bringing the Nuggets, who finished at the bottom of last season, into the playoffs. However, the best rookie was awarded to James, who averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in his rookie season, the third rookie of 20+5+5 since Big O and Jordan, and perhaps the league let the two of them lift the trophy together is the best result.
Third place Donovan Mitchell Draft year 2017
Mitchell averaged 20.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the rookie season, but the best rookie of the year was Ben Simmons of the previous year, due to injury Simmons was injured for a year, the second year was a rookie season, averaging 15.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, according to the data, the best rookie is actually not wrong, but more or less unfair to Mitchell, although Mitchell complained after missing the trophy, but it did not help.
Second place Yao Ming Draft year 2002
The battle for the best rookie of the year was actually only Yao Ming and Stoudemire, but the best figure was Caron Butler, who averaged a rookie-high 15.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Yao Ming's stats and Stoudemire's average of 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 blocks per game were not comparable. Xiaosi averaged 13.5 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist and 1.1 blocks per game to finally lift the best rookie trophy, which was explained at the time that the Suns entered the playoffs.
First Place Big Dog Robinson Draft Year 1994
Robinson, nicknamed Big Dog, is definitely worthy of his rookie season, averaging a rookie-high 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game, but the best rookie trophy of the season was jointly won by Grant Hill and Jason Kidd, the first round of three picks Grant Hill, gentle and elegant, the court is sometimes flowing and sometimes violent, the rookie season was selected as an All-Star starter, there is Jordan's second-place posture, the rookie season cut 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks.
