The 20th draft was underrated? Four players reached the finals, and the Pacers rose to prominence and have produced 4 All-Stars

On June 14, this year's finals are a big difference compared to previous years. I guess everyone should have discovered that in the previous finals, most of the teams were in their year of playing, and they brought a group of experienced veterans to the championship. As a result, two youth teams are fighting for the championship this year. It has to be said that young players are very mature now, and in this year's finals, four 20 drafts entered the finals. Perhaps the 20 drafts were underestimated. Let's take a look at several outstanding players in this class.

4 people reached the finals, and the Pacers rose due to the 20th draft. Toppin was the No. 8 pick in the first round of the year. He was selected by the Knicks at the time, but the Knicks did not have the patience to train him and traded him to the Pacers. Under the guidance of Carlisle, Toppin became the No. 4 position in the top space and could even serve as the five small center. It also became the Pacers' main rotation. This season, he averaged 10.5 points, 4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in 19 minutes, and his three-point shooting percentage was 36.5%.

12 pick is Halliburton. He was selected by the Kings at the time, but the Kings did not see Harry's potential, so this allowed the Pacers and Carlisle to seize the opportunity. They got Halliburton by sending Sa Jr., and Harry also became the best point guard in the active league under the training of Carlisle. He is now the Pacers' boss. This season, averaging 18.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.4 steals. He contributed many finals in the playoffs.

NeSmith is the 14th pick. He was selected by the Celtics. He was originally a shooter. As a result, his shooting efficiency in the first two years of his career was extremely poor, which made the Celtics lose patience with him. After being sent to the Pacers, the team gave him enough patience. He gradually became a top 3D, with excellent offense and defense. Nesmith averaged 12 points, 4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25 minutes of playing in this season, and his three-point shooting percentage was 43%.

The 19th pick in the second round was Isaiah Giovanni. He was selected by the 76ers, but after the 76ers played for two years, he was sent to the Thunder. Daignot discovered Joe's talent and his shooting ability was very outstanding. Therefore, the Thunder also relied on his outstanding performance to win a contract of tens of millions of yuan in annual salary. As the Thunder's substitute this season, he averaged 10.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game 21 minutes, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2%.

What other outstanding players are there in this class?

There are many outstanding players in this class. The No. 1 pick is Edwards, who led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals this season. He has led the team to the division finals for two consecutive seasons. In the future, he has the opportunity to become a league-level player. Huazi can average 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season. Although he is only 23 years old, he is now an offensive kaleidoscope. In the future, as long as he improves his star temperament at critical moments, he will be even better.

Tanhua is three goals, one of the most fancy backcourt players in active service. In the All-Star fan voting this season, he is the number one point guard in the Eastern Conference. Three-Star fans have top organizational skills, but he loves to be injured. Although he has been selected as the All-Star, he is an internet celebrity player in the eyes of the outside world because his data is good enough, but he just can't win the ball. This season, the three games averaged 25.2 points, 5 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

In addition to Edwards, Three Balls and Halliburton being selected as All-Stars, Maxi has also been selected as All-Stars in the first round. This year, the top point guards are produced. Maxi is one of the best backcourts in the active league with the best ball-holding offense. He averaged 26.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game this season. Now the 76ers are also intending to straighten him and become the new cornerstone of the team and replace Embiid's role.

The No. 28 pick in the first round of this year was McDaniels, now the Timberwolves' top gate. Beverly said he is Hyundai Pippen. McDan is often a player whose data cannot reflect value. He can switch to multiple positions and has certain ball handling ability. McDan is more effective in the playoffs. This season, averaging 14.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks, with a three-point shooting percentage of 38%.

The No. 30 pick in the first round of this year is Bain, the current third leader of the Grizzlies. Although he is not talented enough, he has also achieved a star-level level with his tough game attitude and his own efforts. He has won a maximum salary contract. Bain may be the closest to Clay in the current service. This season, he averaged 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is 39%. The Grizzlies may trade him in the offseason.

The No. 26 pick in the first round was Prichard. This is probably familiar to many fans. He helped the Celtics win the championship and won the Best Sixth Man award this season. In addition, the No. 25 pick Quickley, No. 11 pick Vassel, and No. 9 pick Avdia have the potential to become an All-Star in the future. In addition, there are outstanding blue-collar players such as Achuva, Stewart, Cole Anthony, and Trey Jones. This class was originally considered a junior year of drafts. Now, is the overall quality still good?
