Annual salary of 44 million yuan, but he became the overrated No. 1 pick! When the boss is in trouble, he faces being traded this summer

This year, as a draft year, the NBA will have another highly anticipated No. 1 pick, Flag, the template peak card, and has comprehensive personal abilities. Next season, it will form the three Mavericks with Thick Brow and Irving. The record is worth looking forward to. In fact, looking back at the league's top scorers in recent years, they are basically not as good as all-stars. Including the No. 1 pick Rissache, who was selected by the Hawks last year, is indeed not very popular and has a serious lack of presence, but he still has physical talent. He can contribute 12.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game in the rookie season, and his shooting percentage reaches 46%, which is already a very good data. As for the top scorer in 23 years, there is no need to say much about it. The talent monster at the historical level scored the All-Star as soon as it entered the league and won the blocking king for the rest of the time. The Spurs have also found a treasure.

The first few seasons, like Banchero in 22 years and Cunningham in 21 years, these two people actually have average athletic ability and low traffic, but they have solid basic skills and absolutely sufficient hard strength. They have made rapid progress in the past two years. This season, they both led the small ball team, the Magic and the Pistons into the playoffs, proving their ability to lead the team. The 20-year No. 1 pick Edwards has led the team to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, and has eliminated superstars such as Jenkudu in the playoffs. It has a lot of prospects in the future and has the possibility of becoming a league appearance. However, the 19th No. 1 pick Zion Williams seems to be a bit disappointing. Zion happens to be a typical example of fame over strength. Like Wenban and Flag, Zion locked in the No. 1 pick early before entering the NBA, causing a stir in the league.

The draft report at that time showed that Zion's lower limit was LeBron Jane, who could completely become a combination of Fliggy Buckley and the Young Emperor James. His advantages were obvious. His body sample of 2 meters tall and 130 kilograms of weight were incredible. Looking at the NBA, it may also be a perfect fusion of physical fitness, strength and explosive power that leads the entire league, creating a stagnant air like a fog, so as to easily score in the confrontation. In college, Zion won a lot of personal honors, and all the data were top-notch, including after officially entering the NBA, Zion was also very dominant in the game. In his second year of rookie, he averaged 27 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 61.1%.

However, Zion's high explosive style of play and his undisciplined training attitude have laid serious hidden dangers for his physical burden. Since entering the league, he has suffered from injuries and was reimbursed after only 24 games in the rookie season. In the following seasons, he has also been fighting and stopping. This season is the same. Zion has only played 30 games and announced his reimbursement again. In addition, this season, he has played more than 30 games in the regular season in only 2 years in 6 years, and has never played in the playoffs (the team entered the playoffs in the 23-24 season and 21-22 season, and Zion was absent due to injury). Among the 19th rookies in the same year, Zion, as the No. 1 pick, has only ranked 30th in the number of games (214 games). To be honest, Zion is definitely capable of being healthy, but what else can you talk about if you don’t even play the ball?

In the words of US media Clutch Points, Zion should have become one of the iconic figures in the NBA, but now everyone is wondering when we will see him recovering from health again. In the summer of 222, the Pelicans also vowed to reach long-term cooperation with the historical No. 1 pick, and signed a five-year contract with Zion that can reach up to 230 million US dollars. By the 27-28 season, Zion's annual salary will exceed 44 million. But now, the Pelicans have repented that they are gradually losing patience with Zion. Shamit Dua, a well-known NBA reporter, said that the Pelicans owner has instructed their basketball operations president Dumas to trade Zion Williams this summer. They have set their targets on other superstars, including Durant and Antetokounmpo, to use Zion as the biggest bargaining chip in the trade.

Not only that, the season has not ended, Zion has had another off-court turmoil. Several women accused Zion of committing multiple acts of abuse, emotional manipulation and economic control against them, and demanded compensation from him. With an annual salary of 44 million, he has become the most popular pick in the NBA! If you are not worthy of being the boss, you should be traded. Not only will you perform poorly on the court, but you will not play in the game, and your team's record will be lower than expected. He is still not self-disciplined off the court, unable to control his weight, and has created so many scandals. Zion, the top pick in the parallel, should have no choice but to escape. The Pelicans are also unlucky enough. They thought they had introduced a super No. 1 pick who could change their destiny, but they still couldn't get rid of the situation of the bottom team. In contrast, the teams that won the No. 1 pick in the following years, the Timberwolves, Pistons, Magic, and Spurs are all constantly improving. I wonder where Zion will go this summer offseason?
