The 1996 draft was hailed as the Golden Generation of '96, with Iverson, Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant and Nash all being Hall of Famers.
Kobe Bryant, who ranked 13th overall, joined the NBA as a high school student, which also added a different meaning to this round of succession.
But more than a decade ago, there was no such thing as a 13-pick quarterback.
Kobe Bryant's last 13 pick was supposed to have been selected by the Houston Rockets with the 13th pick in the 2001 NBA Draft and subsequently traded to the New Jersey Nets' Richard Jefferson.
In the 2001–02 season and the 2002–03 season, Richard Jefferson reached the NBA Finals for two consecutive years with the Nets.
In the 2002–03 season, Richard Jefferson played in 80 regular-season games for the Nets, averaging 15.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
In 2003–04, Richard Jefferson played in 82 regular-season games for the Nets, averaging 18.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game
In the 2004–05 season, Richard Jefferson played in 33 regular-season games for the Nets, averaging 22.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
In 2005–06, Richard Jefferson played in 78 regular-season games for the Nets, averaging 19.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
In the 2008–09 season, Richard Jefferson played in 82 regular-season games for the Bucks, averaging 19.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.
After that, his career moved to many teams, and finally realized his dream of a championship in the Cavaliers.
But from 14 years on, the 13th pick guard began to usher in a blowout, because the young people who were influenced by Kobe Bryant entered the NBA.
In 2014 the Timberwolves selected Zach with the 13th pick. Levine. Although he won the dunk contest twice, his tactical position was always held back by Wiggins and Downs.
LaVine chose to make his career in Chicago, and this season the Bulls also have a good chance to complete the breakthrough!
In 2015, the Suns selected Dwon Booker with the 13th pick.
The youngest Mr. 70 minutes, after years of experience and growth, gradually got rid of the name of data brush.
Last season, he led the team to the Finals with Paul, and Booker reached the Finals on his first playoff trip, and his performance was even more remarkable.
He is good at the middle distance, revealing Kobe's shadow in one move and one style.
This year's Tokyo Olympics won the gold medal, the girlfriend is the super top Jenna, just turned 25 years old Booker, is a very prominent young star.
The Jazz selected Mitchell with the 13th pick in 2017 and is already the new leader for Salt Lake City after several seasons of growth.
In his rookie season, he was questioned by O'Neal about being too short and breaking bigger than shooting. However, today's Mitchell continues to improve, and there are basically no dead ends at both ends of the attack and defense.
The 2019 Heat selected Taylor with the 13th pick. Hiro. He was also selected for the rookie second team in his rookie year.
Under a series of trading conditions, the Heat shocked many people by coming up with the attitude that no one else could change hiero unless they were super giant.
In his third season, Giro, who had been practicing for an offseason, did not disappoint the Heat management.
The Heat won 5-1 in the new season, and Hiro averaged 22 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, making him the strongest contender for this year's best sixth man.
This year's draft, Cunningham, Mobley, Green, Sagas, there are too many attractive super rookies.
But the best rookie of the first week was the Pacers' Duarte pick with the 13th pick.
Duarte averaged 19.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and two assists per game in the new season, and the 24-year-old shooting guard may be able to bring more surprises.
The Pacers' core lineup doesn't currently have a high-pick pick, and LeVert's injury gives Duarte more chances.
Pacers head coach Carlisle is also a coach who is very good at tuning instant players, and Duarte is likely to be a contender for the best rookie.
