The US media rearranged the 19th draft and discovered that except for the second pick, all the top ten picks were wrong!

On November 22, it has been some time since the new NBA season started. Many young players have realized their talents this season, especially the players in the 21st class, such as Cunningham, Shen Jing and Jaylen Johnson, etc. This class is worthy of being a big draft year, but it is not All highly anticipated draft years can be successful. For example, in the 19th draft, Zion, whose talent was comparable to James Jordan, and Morant, who modeled himself on Ross Westbrook. Speaking of which, today the US media has rearranged the 19th draft. Is it reasonable for us to take a look?

Tenth pick Alexander Walker

Walker was the 17th pick in the first round. After being selected by the Nets, he was sent to the Pelicans. As a result, he did not get many opportunities in the Pelicans. After joining the Timberwolves, he fulfilled his talent and played He has reached the level of a top substitute. Not only does he have excellent offensive ability, but he is also very defensive. He got a four-year, 62 million contract last summer. He averaged 19.7 points, 3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 1 block per game this season. He is a top blue-collar player.

Ninth pick Naz Reed

Reed was the undrafted player this year. He can thank the Timberwolves for being able to play. After losing the draft, the Timberwolves gave him a chance, relying on his excellent space ability and ball-handling ability to kill. , Reed has firmly established himself as the Timberwolves' substitute rotation. In the past few years, he has also helped the team reach the conference finals. He has won the Sixth Man of the Year award, so he also received a contract worth hundreds of millions. This season, he averaged 13.3 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 0.9 blocks per game.

Eighth pick Cameron Johnson

Kayo was the 11th pick in the first round. He was originally selected by the Timberwolves, but was sent to the Suns. During the Suns period, Cameron Johnson relied on his excellent 3D attributes. Helped the team reach the finals. During the rookie contract period, he became a top 3D. If it were not for the older draft, he would have a chance to become the top five picks in this draft. He averaged 18+ per game with the Nets last season and was a top blue-collar player. Now he is playing for the Nuggets at the expense of statistics.

PJ Washington, the seventh overall pick,

Washington was the 12th pick in the first round. The template for the draft that year was Green. Like Green, he was a tough player. After being won by the Hornets, he did not get enough ball rights. , but even so, he clamored for a big contract with the Hornets, but was unhappy and was sent to the Mavericks. After joining the Mavericks, everyone has seen his performance. Washington helped the team reach the finals. This season, he averaged 14.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block per game.

Dort, the sixth overall pick

Dort was also an undrafted player in this draft. He attracted everyone's attention because he mainly defended Harden. The Thunder team's vision is indeed unique. Dort relied on his strong defense. , gained a foothold in the league and gradually became the Thunder's starter. Last season, he helped the Thunder win the championship. Now he is a top blue-collar player. This season, Dort averaged 8.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. The data cannot show his value.

The fifth overall pick, Coby White,

White was the No. 7 pick in the first round. His model back then was Curry, but White was miserable enough. When he came to the Bulls, the Bulls management only had one cornerstone in their eyes. , that is LaVine, so he did not get enough ball rights. However, after LaVine was injured, White got the core position. He proved that he is now the absolute core of the Bulls, averaging 26 points, 2.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game this season.

The fourth pick Herro

Hiro is the 13th pick in the first round. For Herro to be successful, in addition to the Heat's good draft vision, their training of rookies is also key. This Heat team is very He is good at cultivating players. For example, Adebayor and Huskers were not very high picks in the draft, but they all performed well. With the help of the Heat, Herro became an All-Star. Last season, Herro averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.

Third pick Zion

The former undoubted number one pick, but due to poor performance, he is now ranked third overall. This is no wonder to others. He himself does not work hard and is often injured, so he He hasn't won too many decent honors, and Zion now doesn't have the ability he had at his peak. Although he is still the core of the team, he is still at the level of an ordinary All-Star. This season, he averaged 21.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Second pick Morant

was originally the second pick in the first round. Except for him, the rankings of the other top ten picks have changed. Morant has not met expectations. Although people are highly anticipated in the early stages of his career, this player also does not want to Aggressive is still a player who can only break through and kill, so he is often injured. The Grizzlies now have the idea of sending him away, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to exchange for the chips they want. This season, he averaged 17.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1 steal per game.

No. 1 pick Garland

Garland was originally the No. 5 pick in the first round. It is surprising that he can be ranked in this position. Maybe the US media really has no better choice. Garland is an All-Star backcourt, but his advantages and disadvantages are obvious. Indeed The offensive end is excellent, but the defensive end is a bottomless pit. This season, Garland did not perform very well due to injuries. Last season, he averaged 20.6 points, 3 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
