The draft conference is naturally happy and worried, after all, holding the champion lottery also has the possibility of selecting parallel goods, so some fans have questions, has there been a situation in the NBA where a team has won the champion, the list and the Tanhua lottery at the same time, so that not all the cornerstones of the team can be exhausted, such a situation is as difficult as the sky, but there are still four teams who almost did this!
The first team: 65 Warriors, champion Hazel, Captain Barry, one profit and one loss!
In 1965, the Warriors got the top pick with a 17-win record, in addition to the Warriors got another No. 1 pick in the trade with the Pistons, and Kerry Barry is known in the list, if it weren't for the fact that he went to the ABA League in 67 because of his father-in-law and delayed a few seasons, Rick Barry's historical status could also enter the top 20 in the NBA.
The champion Fred Hazel comes from a liberal arts college called Davidson, due to the limited level of basketball in the school and the foil of his teammates, Hazel averages 30+15 per game and has the feeling of standing out from the crowd, obviously this phenomenon confuses the Warriors, and that year it happened that Chamberlain switched to Philadelphia, and the Warriors also hoped to select an inside player to replace Chamberlain's position, but unfortunately after entering the NBA, Hazel averaged only 6.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, and this champion was completely wasted.
Rick Barry's father-in-law, Bruce, was the head coach of the ABA Oaks, and Barry switched to the ABA as a result
The Class of '65 had four Hall of Fame stars, Barry, Bill Bradley, Goodrich and Cunningham, and the Warriors could have done better, but alas.
The second team: 75-year-old Eagles, champion Thompson, Tanhua Webster, huge loss!
David Thompson nicknamed "Skywalker" The rookie averaged 26 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in his first year, but unfortunately this data came from the ABA Nuggets instead of the NBA Hawks, and the Hawks did not pay enough attention to the top pick, even if they knew that the ABA team came to poach the Hawks, they did not take it to heart, because it was rumored that the ABA would be merged into the NBA, and Thompson might encounter the dissolution of the team in a year or two when he joined the ABA, so when they first met, the Atlanta Hawks just invited Thompson to eat McDonald's once, on the other hand, the ABA offered a long-term quality contract, and finally Thompson decided to join the ABA Nuggets, and then merged into the NBA with the Nuggets the next year.
At that time, the Nuggets also had a scouting sign, and the selected player was 2.16 meters center Webster, and the interesting thing is that after Thompson signed with the ABA Nuggets, Webster also took the initiative to find the Nuggets and apply to join, the reason is that the Nuggets offered almost twice as much as the Hawks.
One of the few stars in the NBA to have the title of Flyer
The third team: 77 Bucks, champion Benson, Tanhua Marquis Johnson, one profit and one loss!
This year's draft picks ranked high in the draft Ribie Delsson, Marquis Johnson, Walter Davis, Bernard King, Sikma, and Norm Nixson are all high-quality team building cornerstones, but the Bucks only chose Marquis Johnson alone, and the first pick was given to Indiana center Kent Benson, who just won the NCAA championship.
Kent Benson's stats are not good, his skills are excellent but he moves slowly, and it is difficult to keep up with the rhythm in the NBA, but at that time, the Bucks had just lost Abdul-Jabbar and had a blind need for an interior center, and in the end, Benson's average of 7.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game still failed to bring a miracle to the Bucks.
Kent Benson's face was a little fierce
Fourth: 83 Rockets, champion Sampson, Tanhua McRae, steady earnings!
83 was a draft year, and all eyes were on Ralph Sampson, and the best ones were Byron Scott, Jeff Malone, and Derrick Harper, but McRae, the small forward selected by the Rockets, averaged 14 points and 7 rebounds per game, which was only slightly inferior to the Rockets, which was enough for the Rockets.
A little closer is the 2011 Cavaliers, this year the Cavaliers 19-63 league bottom record only drew a No. 4 pick, but the lottery qualification obtained from the Clippers was obtained with a 2.8% probability to get the top pick, and the final champion Irving, No. 4 pick TT Thompson are above the standard choice.
The Cavaliers plan is an outside line and an inside line, and after selecting Irving, Klay and Leonard will no longer be considered
Of course, the 1984 Rockets are also worth mentioning, this year the Trail Blazers proposed to use Drexler to add a list of signs to trade the Rockets Ralph Sampson, if the trade is successful, the Rockets can have both champions, the list and form a dream combination of Olajuwon, Jordan, and gliders, but in fact, the Rockets twin towers system is very successful, in 1986 the Rockets eliminated the Lakers 4:1 and fought six games with the Celtics in the Finals, if it weren't for Sampson's injury state declined sharply, the Rockets could win the championship in the 80s, So it's understandable to reject the Pioneers at that point in time in '84!
