In this era of information explosion, every rookie has been infinitely hyped up by the media, saying that this year's rookie is heaven and earth, seemingly omnipotent, and the last start is indeed disappointing, even the former four major quarterbacks are far from being comparable, let alone becoming the façade of the league.
There were many more, and within a few years they were all gone.
What about the geniuses who once had high hopes? Let's take stock today.
The famous Jennings was famous for playing a 55-point performance in his rookie season, and was later jokingly called "Zhan Huang".
There used to be a spell that was known as Jordan's successor, not so well, like magic Hardaway, later Grant Hill and others. Later, there was another spell, that is, the rookies who were compared with James were often difficult to meet people's expectations. And Jennings is actually called "Zhan Huang", how can it develop smoothly?
After playing spectacularly in his rookie season and being named to the rookie First Team, Jennings was traded to the Pistons within a few years, and was later traded to the Magic, Knicks, Wizards, and even the CBA's Shanxi team, but was cut within a few months; Jennings, who returned to the Bucks, was also quickly cut, but he quickly found a job in Russia, but also left quickly. Jennings is currently in retirement, and he is younger than the likes of Curry, Durant, Westbrook and Harden.
Lonzo Ball was completely spoiled by his dad, which was completely inconsistent with his style on the court, and he joined the Lakers as a high-profile and show-up, but the Lakers were ruthlessly traded away in order to give James a good helper.
Although the data of the original ball brother in the Lakers is not bright, he is expected to grow into an excellent player like the template Kidd, the average performance of 10 + 7 + 7 + 10 + 5 + 5 per game is decent, the problem is that the team's configuration is not good enough, the ball brother is also in the growth period, he did not get the opportunity after he turned to the Pelicans After the average score per game rose while maintaining a considerable average of rebounds and assists per game, the average score per game rose to about 12 points, and then rose to more than 14 points.
This season, the ball brother came to the Bulls, the team seems to want to show their fists, now the team has Zach Lavin, there is Vucevic, and DeRozan, at present, the ball brother let the bulls run quite smoothly, 4 games to win the first place in the East, of course, the season is still very long, whether the ball brother can really improve the team's combat strength or even surpass his template Kidd remains to be seen.
Before the 2016 draft, the media's praise for Simmons was crazy, his template was James, and even said that he was stronger than James, and the future could be expected.
However, as the 2016 premier show, Simmons' performance was too far from james that year.
Simmons is indeed very talented, he plays as a point guard with the height of a big forward, which is simply the magician of the past, but Simmons does not necessarily have anything to dominate in the league except that he averages 16+8+8 per game. Of course, objectively speaking, Simmons' defense is still good, and he has been selected for the best defensive team for two consecutive years. But Simmons failed to achieve better results, it should be related to his own requirements and style of his own, off-court problems he is now a bit of a street rat, the team wants to trade him but the new owners are straight to the heart of the drum, because this person really has too many unknowns, maybe a grain of rat spoiled a pot of soup.
In the 4th show of 2009, he averaged 20.1 points per game, 5.3 boards, 5.8 assists and 1.51 steals in his rookie season. He is the fourth player in history to average 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game in his rookie season, and the other three are all top 10 stars in history, oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
Because of this, Evans was given high hopes that he could compete with three great predecessors, indicating that he could also become a great player of the times.
Unfortunately, the rookie season is actually the peak of Evans! Since then, he has never been able to play the average of 20+5+5 per game for the season, and since then, due to the deterioration of injury, evans, who is physically talented, has also been in trouble off the court, long ago, he was detained for speeding reckless driving, and in 2019 he was banned for two years for violating the anti-drug agreement.
No matter how the first few blow, they are not as strong as Zion, 198 in height and 129 kilograms in weight, and Zion's template is Buckley. While having a super tonnage, Zion has the most explosive power in history, and his ball style is indeed very explosive, which makes people see the shadow of the sharks wreaking havoc on the basket.
Zion's debut was very explosive, he only played 18 minutes to cut 22 points and 7 boards, rookie season averaged only 27.8 minutes per game can cut 22.5 points 6.2 boards, the second season averaged 33.2 minutes per game can cut 27 points 7.2 boards, Zion can be called the future hope of the league, some people think that he and Doncic are the future of the league.
It's really a bit bizarre that a player of this weight has such speed, strength, and explosiveness, but what happened to the last Griffin who exploded like this? Thinking of Griffin, we are all worried about Zion, and his frequent injury absences confirm our fears that the new season is coming, and Zion still can't play.
On October 31, 2013, the 76ers played at home to the Heat, and the No. 11 rookie of the year, Michael Carter Williams, made his NBA debut, scoring a quasi-four-double stat of 22 points, 7 boards, 12 assists, and 9 steals, shocking the league in a game. In the following games, McAvoy remained strong, winning the First Week's Eastern Conference Player of the Week, averaging 16.7 points, 6.2 boards, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game in his rookie season, and became the rookie of the best.
McAvoy, who is 196 tall, has enough height as a point guard, but he is a bit thin, the projection is unstable, and the three-point shooting rate is not good. In the end, McAvoy, like Evans, went high and low, and his rookie season was his peak, and since then he has stopped and stopped due to injury reasons, and even become a substitute.
McAvoy, who has been sold everywhere, is now playing for the Magic, has gradually become a marginal player, last season he missed many games due to injury, the new season has not played, there is no good outside projection ability, McAvoy has become more and more difficult to establish a foothold in the league.
In the May 21, 2012 issue of Sports Illustrated, Jabari Parker was featured on the cover, with the words "The Strongest High School Student After James" on the cover, hailed as a combination of James and Durant.
After entering Duke University, Jabari Parker continued to play well, and he was selected by the Bucks with the second overall pick after Andrew Wiggins in 2014, and he is considered a technically outstanding all-round forward.
But the impact of the injury has made Jabari Parker unable to go further, his attendance has not been high, in the third season of the Bucks, Parker once played an average of 20.1 points and 6.2 board data, after which Parker was traded to the Bulls, Wizards, Eagles, Kings, can be described as a turbulent displacement, last season was cut by the Celtics and then signed with the Celtics, this season for the team to play two games, the performance is still quite efficient, but at present his positioning is no longer the proud star of the previous day.
Many people are familiar with the legend of goji berries and thermos cups, and in the past decade, the legend of Andrew Wiggins has been
Famous all over the place. After James joined the Heat to form the Big Three, the Cavaliers hoarded several titles, such as Kyrie Owen and Anthony Bennett, including Andrew Wiggins in 2014.
In May 2013, Wiggins was elected Mr. Basketball of the United States, and Wiggins ranked first in slam magazine's ranking of basketball players for high school students. According to an authoritative media, Wiggins's vertical bounce height reached 1.12 meters, surpassing michael Jordan and Tracy McGrady at the peak.
However, Wiggins, who had just been selected, was packaged and sent to distant Minnesota with another Canadian champion, Anthony Bennett, to trade Kevin Luck, who had cut the double 30 at the time, paving the way for James to return to the Cavaliers. If there is a little bit of fighting spirit and spirit of the player, especially the player who is the champion of the draft, just selected by the parent team to give up, will definitely rivet with the old club, but Wiggins did not, he is like an indisputable monk, he seems to get 17, 8 points per game to complete the task, whether the team wins or loses, he stands at the head of the tide of the times, enduring.
When Wiggins was in high school, he was considered the best high school student since James, and he had phenomenal abilities. In the Timberwolves, Wiggins was ridiculed for making goji berries in the insulated cup, playing old basketball, and the Warriors were also tepid, and in the new season he was still as stable as ever, taking 17 or 8 points per game, the shooting rate was also very stable, and The Wiggins with stable output per game may be the best of all the players on this list, and now the Warriors' record is also very good, we still hope to see Wiggins burst out with amazing energy and cash in on his true potential.
Auden is a genius in the absolute sense, in high school Auden was the level of the proud son of heaven, and in college he was even more frustrated by the opponents in the face of many well-known interior players in the league, including Roy Hibbert, Jogyn Noah, Al-Horford and many other well-known interior lines in the league.
The physical test data before the draft showed that Auden was 2.13 meters tall, with an arm span of 2.24 meters and a standing height of 2.84 meters. Jump 0.81 meters in situ, 0.86 meters in assisted jump, 11.67 seconds round-trip in the penalty area, and only 3.27 seconds in three-quarters of the field. As a big man, not only is he tall and long-armed, he can jump, but his speed and flexibility are not inferior to those of a small man.
Such physical talent is enough to make any team crazy, no matter which team wins the first prize, it will not hesitate to choose him. Before the draft, Oden was considered a player of Duncan and O'Neal's level, which shows how high people expect from him.
However, after joining the Blazers, Auden chose surgery because of a knee injury, and since then he has missed his knee several times due to injury surgery, and he has only played 82 times for the Blazers in five seasons. Oden then joined the Big Three Heat, but unfortunately the Heat eventually lost to the Spurs that season and failed to win the championship.
In 2015, Auden logged into the CBA and joined Jiangsu, but Auden could not meet the team's requirements in the CBA and was soon terminated by the team.
In 2016, Auden retired from the army and later worked as a coach.
Rembias was the eyewitness of the 1986 draft, and the legends about him on the rivers and lakes are true and false.
If there could be someone in the world who is more talented than Michael Jordan, you wouldn't believe it. But such a person may have really existed, and it was also recognized by Jordan himself, when Jordan said: "I have never seen such a good player, Lun is simply too good, you know we have 4 stars in North Carolina, and Maryland is his team!" 」 ”
Members of the Celtics, including Cardinal Auerbach, visited Ren-Baias several times and concluded that Byas was the closest player ever to Jordan.
Not much is known about Byas today, except that he is about 203 tall and physically gifted, and after the Celtics selected Byyas by the execution of the leaderboard, the indispensable Larry Bird said that he could not wait to fight alongside him. After the Celtics got Baias, there were many who exclaimed that the Celtics would once again win eight consecutive titles!
Unfortunately, on the night of the draft, Baias was alone at home with a bag of cocaine on the table, buried in the cocaine and never woke up. Maybe it was that it was too much for him to get into such a good team and to try something he didn't know how to control at all.
Byas's death was devastating for the Celts, and his contemporary, Johnny Dawkins, once said, "Lose Byas, at least set the Celts back a decade."
And the Cardinal said: "If Lun hadn't left us, then the late '80s and '90s were our ruling leagues, and we wouldn't have made detroit's legion of bad boys so arrogant, and there would have been no bull dynasty." ”
