It is said that the 1998 draft was a big year for the golden generation, during which the three 77 superstars of history were born, Nowitzki, Pierce and Carter! However, in Sanfat's view, the comprehensive level of the class of 98 is not as good as that of the class of 99 in the previous period.
The high-level combat power of the class of '98 is indeed not inferior to super draft years like '84, '96 and '03, but the overall quality of the players is not satisfactory. In particular, the lack of convincing basket protectors among interior players makes this team's lineup seem too biased!
Of course, punch the master to death. Perhaps the 98 team, which has reached the extreme of offensive ability, can play a different record?
So what this issue of Sanfat wants to bring to you is a team of 12 people composed of rookies in the same year of the 98th class. See if there's a GOAT in your mind? (This lineup only represents the views of Sanfat himself, don't spray if you don't like it!) ）
Starting line-up:
Point Guard – Mike Bibby (Retired)
Draft pick: 1998, 1st round, 2nd pick
Career averages: 14.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.1 blocks
Peak season averages: 21.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.2 blocks
List of career honors: 1-time Rookie of the Year 1st Formation.
Three Fat Brief Comments: Bibby, nicknamed the White Devil, is indeed a capable point guard player, and his stable on-court performance and good confrontation ability are the main reasons for him to occupy the starting position! As for whether the identity of the list eye matches or not, it is up to everyone...
Shooting Guard – Vince Carter (Ret.)
Draft pick: 5th pick in the first round in 1998
Career averages: 16.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.6 blocks
Peak season averages: 27.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.6 blocks
Major career honors: 1-time All-Star Second Team, 1-time All-Star Third Team, 8-time All-Star Team.
Three fat brief comments: Vince Carter, who can be called the four quarterbacks along with Kobe, Answer and others, no longer needs to prove his personal ability! The seven-game divisional semi-finals against Iverson that year were undoubtedly a classic.
Small Forward – Paul Pierce (Ret.)
Draft pick: 10th pick in the first round in 1998
Career averages: 19.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.6 blocks
Peak season averages: 26.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.4 blocks
List of major career honors: 1-time NBA champion, 1-time Finals MVP, 1-time All-NBA Second Team, 3-time All-Star Third Team, 10-time All-Star Team.
Brief comment on three fats: As one of the offensive kaleidoscopes, Pierce is undoubtedly the offensive core of this team. Pierce, who has the ability to play undifferentiated singles, can finish in any way at any position in the half!
Power Forward – Dirk Nowitzki (Retired)
Draft pick: 9th pick in the 1st round in 1998
Career averages: 20.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks
Peak season averages: 26.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.5 blocks
Major career honors: 1-time NBA Championship, 1-time regular season MVP, 1-time Finals MVP, 4-time All-NBA First Team, 5-time All-NBA Second Team, 3-time All-NBA Third Team, 14-time All-Star Team.
Three Fat Brief Comment: Nowitzki's historical status no longer needs to be said too much, right? As a historical-level No. 4 player, the old driver is targeting super power forwards like Duncan, Malone and Garnett!
Centre – Al Harrington (Ret.)
Draft pick: 25th pick in the first round in 1998
Career averages: 13.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.3 blocks
Peak season averages: 20.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks
List of major career honors: None
Three fat brief comment: I don't dare to say that there is a big one in the sting, but Harrington's best position overlaps with Nowitzki. Harrington, who occasionally plays in the No. 5 position, can only be put in the center position... Fortunately, this is the era of small ball, and an interior player like Harrington, who has good projection ability, has a lot of room to play!
Substitutes:
Under/Power Forward: Antoine Jamison (Ret.)
Draft pick: 4th pick in the 1st round in 1998
Career averages: 18.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.4 blocks
Peak season averages: 21.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.4 blocks
Major career honors: 1-time Sixth Man of the Year, 1-time All-Rookie Second Team, 2-time All-Star.
Three Fat Brief Comments: Jamison, who has excellent scoring ability, is one of the few 20,000-point gentlemen in the NBA! Although its exposure and traffic are far less than those of the other players in the same class, this does not prevent him from becoming an excellent player!
Power Forward: Rashad Lewis (Retired)
Draft pick: 3rd pick in the 2nd round in 1998
Career averages: 14.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.5 blocks
Peak season averages: 22.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.7 blocks
List of major career honors: 1-time NBA champion, 2-time All-Star team.
Brief comment on three fats: From a second-round pick that averaged less than 8 minutes per game in his rookie season to a high-quality pitcher who averaged 22 points per game and won the championship. Rashad Lewis's career is not inspirational or legendary!
Shooting Guard: Catino Mobley (Ret.)
Draft pick: 12th pick in the second round in 1998
Career averages: 16.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.4 blocks
Peak season averages: 21.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks
List of major career honors: None
Three Fat Brief Comments: Although the old cat Mobley did not win the corresponding personal honors in his career, he is indeed an excellent scoring guard. Mobley, who has repeatedly stepped forward at critical moments, has the potential to become a super six!
Point Guard: Jason Williams (Ret.)
Draft Pick: 7th Pick in the 1st Round in 1998
Career averages: 10.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.1 blocks
Peak season averages: 14.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.1 blocks
List of major career honors: 1-time NBA champion, 1-time Rookie of the Year.
Three Fat Brief Comment: As a representative of one person holding the ball and nine people are frightened, although White Chocolate is not the strongest player in the No. 1 position, it is the player with the most gorgeous style of play! At its peak, the average data of 15+3+8 per game is fully capable of starting control.
Swingman: Larry Hughes (Ret.)
Draft Pick: 8th Pick in the 1st Round 1998
Career averages: 14.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.4 blocks
Peak season averages: 22.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 2.9 steals, 0.3 blocks
List of major career honors: 1-time All-Defensive First Team, 1-time regular season steal king.
Three fat brief comment: Hughes, who has excellent defensive ability at his peak, is undoubtedly the most scarce high-quality 3D in the league today, and he is not on the bench because his ability is not enough, but because the two starters are too strong...
Forward Swingman: Ricky Davis (Retired)
Draft pick: 21st pick in the first round in 1998
Career averages: 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.3 blocks
Peak season averages: 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.5 blocks
List of major career honors: None
Three Fat Brief Comments: That's right, this is the honey confident brother who said that the team selected James to assist him! In addition, this big guy still has the embarrassing past of throwing the ball to his basket just to grab a rebound and make a triple-double... Sanfat can only say that it is not good to evaluate this.
Point Guard: Tyronn Lue (Ret.)
Draft pick: 23rd pick in the first round in 1998
Career averages: 8.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.0 blocks
Peak season averages: 13.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.0 blocks
Major career honors: 2-time NBA champion.
Three Fat Brief Comments: Whether as a player or a coach, Lu is the champion! This kind of luck is not something that ordinary people can control. And as a backup point guard, Coach Lu is also a qualified rotation player.
Team of the Year nominees: Reeve Lavrenz, Bunch Wells, Matt Haprin, Ralph Alston, Nazr Mohammed.
