Every year, the NBA Draft is the highlight of the year, and a small chip has the potential to change a team's prospects. There are many drafts in history that have been regarded as "god-level" by ball critics, and it can really be said that I advise Tiangong to be vigorous and not stick to one pattern to reduce talents. For example, the "Dream Team" in 1984 and the "Best Six" in 1996. However, if you judge from multiple dimensions such as league influence, player honor, and popularity, 2003 may be the most outstanding draft.
Back then, this rookie class gathered countless top talents, almost none of the top 7 picks were parallel, 9 later became All-Stars, and 4 became the league's superstar influencers. This level of quality is rare. This rookie is known by many as the "best of the best", so let's count these "draft treasures" one by one!
The top 7 picks are superstars
No. 7 pick: Kirk Hinrich, averaging 12 points and 6.8 assists per game
First up is the 7th pick picked by the Bulls, Kirk Hinrich. The young Hornets guard averaged 12 points, 6.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game in his debut season, immediately becoming a Bulls starter and setting a new rookie record with 144 three-pointers. The following year, he averaged 15.7 points, 6.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game, leading the team to the playoffs and scoring a staggering 21.2 points and 5.8 assists. Although he was only named to the All-Defensive Team once, his offensive ability undoubtedly lived up to the Bulls' expectations.
6th pick: Chris Carman, 18+9+1 inside king
Carman, who was sixth in the picture, was also a heavyweight. He was able to contribute 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks in his peak.
No. 5 pick: Dwyane Wade, 3-time champion not explained
The fifth pick is the popular Dwyane Wade. The guard averaged 22 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his career, and has a proud record of 3 championships, 13 All-Stars, and 8 All-Star teams. Whether it's the team's expectations or the impact on the league as a whole, Wade has completely exceeded the task.
4th Pick: Chris Bosh, one of the best strikers of all time
Chris Bosh, who was the fourth pick, was known as the "Dragon King", and at his peak, he could cut down the terrifying statistics of 24 points and 10.8 rebounds. He was an 11-time All-Star, a two-time championship winner, and is considered by fans to be one of the most powerful forwards in history. Although he did not win a championship when he coached the Raptors, he was still known as the "Dragon King", which shows his high status.
No. 3 pick: Carmelo Anthony, 10-time All-Star without explanation
The third pick, Cameron Anthony, has three Olympic gold medals, six All-Star awards and 10 All-Star honors. He averaged 22.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game in his career, even though he didn't have a championship, but who dared to deny him as a league supergiant at that time? After he joined the Nuggets, he led the team to the playoffs in a row, which can be described as open-level strength.
2nd pick: Darko Milicic, underrated for the strength of the team
Many people believe that the second pick, Darko Milicic, is the "parallel eye". In fact, his career average points per game is not high, mainly because the Pistons team is too strong, so he can't grow and take off. If he had changed the stage, his career might have been very different.
No. 1 pick: LeBron James, 4-time champion and 20-time All-Star Dreamer
Finally, there is the needless to say 1st pick rookie LeBron James, who holds 4 championships, 4 MVPs, and 20 All-Stars! At his peak, he was able to cut 30+8+7 monster data, and except for Jordan, almost no one could compete with his great career and impact. If you can get James in this draft, it is enough to go down in history!
To sum up, except for Darko Milicic, who is slightly inferior, the remaining 6 people in the top 7 picks are all superstars in the league, not to mention meeting the team's expectations, which is far beyond expectations!
Nine all-stars shine on the stage
In addition to the five All-Stars with the first seven picks, the draft also featured four other All-Stars: David West with the 18th pick, Josh Howard with the 29th pick, Mo Williams with the 47th pick and Kyle Korver with the 51st pick.
David West
West was able to cut 20+9+1 data at his peak, and became the top forward in the league that year with Bosh; Josh Howard's career-best season has a staggering 20+7+2; Mo Williams is known as "Mo Bu Pass", averaging 17 points and 6 assists per game, all from the three-point line; Korver is averaging only 14 points per game, but he is the seventh-best three-point player in history.
Josh Howard
It can be seen that as many as 9 All-Star stars have emerged from the top 51 picks selected alone, which is really staggering. It is enough to prove that the high quality of this draft is not made up out of thin air.
Mo Williams
13 championships and trophies in history
The most breathtaking thing is that a whopping 14 people in this draft have won championships in 13 different seasons! With the exception of the unfortunate Carmelo Anthony, the remaining four superstars in the top 5 have at least one championship on their accounts.
Championship-winning names include: LeBron 4 times, Wade 3 times, Bosh 2 times, David West 2 times, Darko Milicic 1 time, as well as Zaza Pachuria, Boris Dior, Dundee Jones, Kendrick Perkins, Luke Wharton, Matt Bonner, Mo Williams, James Jones, Jason Capono.
