This season's NBA regular season is nearing the end, to say that the rise of the most obvious players this year, I think the 19th and 15th are the most, the 19th Morant and Barrett have shown the strength of the stars, and the 15th is considered to be the first year of the draft, this year there are many players who have played well, like The Downs and the 13th pick Booker, and now most of the players in the 15th class have reached about 27 years old.
Generally speaking, a player, in addition to the talent freaks such as Old Zhan and Doncic, most of them will enter the peak of their careers around the age of 27, that is, the sixth or seventh season of most players' careers, their physical function has reached the best of their careers, and their cognition of the league has also been greatly improved. Today we take a look at the top 10 of the 15 drafts and rearrange them in the rankings.
Tenth Hizonia
I believe that many fans are very much looking forward to Hezonia when he was drafted that year, his template is Maddy, because he showed a high ball dealer and athletic talent when he was young, he was well known, the Magic also did not hesitate to use the fifth pick to win him, the result is that Hezonha did not play at all, after being cut by the Blazers in 19-20 years, now he has fallen to play in overseas leagues, 2.04 meters of forward swing man, static talent is enough, but far from reaching the level of Maddy.
The biggest impression of Hezonia is that he likes to live the whole life, the big empty dragon could have scored points steadily, and the result was a big tie to hit the iron, which could have rushed in and dunked, and the result was that the air was replaced by a layup and iron, because the coaches were also very reluctant to reuse him, plus they did not like training after entering the league, which also led to his extremely low shooting rate, averaging 6.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in his career, and the water fell.
Ninth Okafor
Okafor has excellent offensive skills, college can be called a low-post killer, template Duncan, just look at these players can't water, right? In the first year of his career, he averaged 17+7 per game, which was indeed outstanding, but with the advent of the small-ball era, in the end Okafor still fell into the water, his movement speed was very slow, he could not keep up with the rhythm of the game, and finally fell to the point of no ball to play, and now he joined the Guangsha men's basketball team.
Career Okafor can average 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.8 blocks per game, shooting 54.2%, if the current league is still the traditional basketball era, Okafor will inevitably grow to the all-star level, but the choice of the times let him eventually be abandoned, averaging 10 points per game, if it is a player outside the lottery area, it is very good, but he is this year's exploration, completely become a parallel cargo.
Eighth Mudiel
For this Chinese boy, everyone must be no stranger, Mudiel's draft pick that year was the seventh pick, and Curry was also the seventh pick that year, but Mudiel did not play the height he should have, only got a 10-day contract this season, he was abandoned, and now he has fallen to the point of no ball, in fact, Mudiay played well in the first two years of his career, and then left the Nuggets without getting too many opportunities.
Mudiel didn't play out I think more because his shooting was not stable enough, coupled with not fast enough and no organizational ability, not in line with the current era of small ball, for any team is not the future of the choice, and eventually he fell to no ball can also be understood, career average of 10.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting only 40%, three-point shooting rate of 32%, very inefficient.
Seventh Cowley Stan
The small test god of the Kings period, the sixth pick of the draft that year, to be honest, this draft water fell a lot in fact, can also be understood, 15 years although the Warriors won the championship, but the small ball is only rudimentary, has not officially arrived, this session of talented center a lot, many have become high picks, the result eventually led to a lot of players water, like Okafor, and Cowlistan to tell the truth that there is no long-range shooting ability is on the one hand, more because of injuries.
At the peak of the season, Cowlistan was able to average 13 points, 7 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, but after the injury, coupled with the arrival of the small ball era, he gradually lost his team status in a pie-eating interior line, and his career has averaged 8.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, but he ranks seventh because he can still play in the NBA, like Okafor and Hezonia have no ball to play in the NBA.
Sixth Winslow
The original tenth pick, Winslow's draft template that year was Harden, but his athleticism and ball dealer are really too much worse than Harden, at first the Heat still regarded him as the core training, but it was really not cultivated after he traded him, and Winslow in recent years tossed the Grizzlies and the Blazers and clippers, became a veritable tramp, he entered the league at the age of 19, only 25 years old this year, but for now it can not be played, the probability of water is gone.
Winslow has averaged 8.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.9 steals so far in his career, although Winslow did not reach the height of hardened template, but he had the potential to become 3D, and Winslow did not play hard enough, training is also very slack, and finally his three-point shooting rate is also very crotch, the past three seasons, no season of three-point shooting rate is more than 30%, so he has also become a marginal rotation player.
Fifth Kaminsky
Kaminsky is another center with spatial ability in addition to Downs and Boshin in the top ten of this draft, although the ninth overall pick center has been tepid in the past few years, but his role is very strong, originally he entered the league as a role player positioning, fortunately he did a very good job, this season's Kaminsky just played, the result is unfortunately because of the knee injury Season reimbursement, this season averaged 10.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists 0.9 steals 0.8 blocks, shooting 54%.
So far in his career, Kaminsky can average 9.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 43% from the field and 35% from three-point range, and his projection ability is very good, because this also makes up for Ayton's weakness, so the Suns have always valued him, and Kaminsky is very promising to return this season, then he will play a big role in the playoffs, I hope That Kaminsky can stay with the Suns in the future.
Fourth Stanley Johnson
To be honest, the top ten of this draft are too pulled, turner, Oubre and Rochelle and Booker outside the top ten picks are very good, this year's top ten is also a disaster level, Stanley Johnson can enter the top four, their overall quality can be imagined, Stanley's three points are not stable enough, but fortunately the strength is strong enough, and the defensive ability is outstanding, this season in the Lakers is also playing very well.
Stanley averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals per game, shooting only 38% from the field and 30% from three-point range, although the efficiency was extremely low, but as we just said, Stanley's defensive ability is good enough, which is not reflected by the data, because the good defense also makes him not fall to the point of no ball to play, and he has almost no ball to play this season, but he seized the opportunity to successfully correct a short contract.
The Third Wave of Gods
Porzingis is the original fourth pick, to be honest, Bo Shen is a pity, when known as Nowitzki's successor, excellent athleticism, and shooting coverage half, in the Knicks has been played out, but after suffering a major injury, now he is slower, the internal confrontation is not better than before, the original spirituality has disappeared, and now it is a top space cannon, without the ability to pay the top salary.
This season, Bo Shen can average 20 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 45.6% from the field and 29% from three-point range. A 2.21m player can only play the fourth position, which is a pity, but because it is too high, he can't defend himself when shooting from the outside, which belongs to talent, but the future Boshin cannot reach the top stars.
Second Russell
Water Laben is the eye of the list, although the athletic ability is average, but his offensive passing ability is very prominent, in the Lakers because the ball brother was abandoned, after the Nets played out, the Warriors came to the Timberwolves and Towns to play brother basketball, under the leadership of the two Timberwolves also completed the rise this season, Russell's draft template that year was Yellow Man Barroy, although there is no star temperament of the predecessors, but the playing style is very similar.
This season, Water La can average 18 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7 assists 0.9 steals per game, shooting 41% from the field, 34% from three-point range, not bad, because the team has Edwards, Russell sacrificed a lot of tactical status, which is why his data is not good enough, if Russell is open to play, the average of 23+8 per game is still there, Russell has All-Star strength, but if he wants to achieve more, he wants to improve his defensive ability.
First Downs
If the overall re-ranking of the 15th session is also in the top two, that is, Booker may affect his title, Towns was just a data brush before, but now he is definitely a good team leader, Towns can be said to be the most projection ability in history, his three-point ability is also the best of all centers in the history of the NBA, especially his three-point shooting ability.
This season, Towns has averaged 24.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1 steal, 1.1 blocks, shooting 53% from the field and 41% from three-point range, very efficient, Towns has completed a metamorphosis this season, although he has not yet reached the level of Jokic and Embiid, but he is also the third center in the league, and Downs has a higher ceiling in the future.
