After the disastrous previous year, the 2001 draft is back on track. This year, not only a number of excellent European stars participated in the election, but there were also many players with "bandit spirit", who almost all of them later had the experience of being the boss or the second boss, and many people were important puzzles to win the championship. Overall, the strength and situation are similar to those in the 1999 draft, with a high success rate but a lack of absolute superstars. Let's take a look at the lotto rankings after the rookie re-rehearsal.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > No.14 Brandon Heywood</h1>
Actual standing: 20th pick
Career highlight: 2010-2011 overall champion
Heywood was the main center of the Wizards of the Arenas era, a typical blue-collar player with rough offensive technique and excellent defense. At his peak, he averaged 10.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. But as the locker room conflicted gunmen, the Wizards also began to rebuild, sending Heywood and Butler to the Mavericks seeking reinforcement. After coming to the Mavericks, he signed a six-year, 55 million contract with the Mavericks, and as a substitute for Chandler, he also followed the Mavericks to win the 2011 championship.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" >No.13 Eddie Curry</h1>
Actual ranking: 4th pick
Career highlight: 2011-2012 overall champion
Curry, along with Kwame Brown and Chandler, is known as the Triple Gem of 2001. Nicknamed Baby Shaq, Curry has a strong talent on the offensive end, and even if the defense and rebounding and the attitude on the court are not good, he can sit firmly in the starting lineup with just one hand of inside foot and a small hook. The 2006-07 season was his peak, starting 81 games, averaging 19.5 points and 7 rebounds per game and shooting 57.6%, becoming an excellent center in the league's East, known as the "Little Shark" by the media. But the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and in the 08-09 season he suffered a cliff-like decline, and his weight soared with poor self-control. However, he lost 70 pounds to join the Heat and won the 2011-2012 championship. Although it has been a matter of human beings, it has also drawn a satisfactory end to his regrettable career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" >No.12 Dalem Porter</h1>
Actual ranking: 26th pick
Career Highlights: 33rd all-time cap
Dalem Porter played for many teams in his career, and in order to fight the Sharks that year, 76 selected Dale Porter, who had the potential to defend the gates. In the 8 1 seasons of the 76ers, he has been conscientious and has been full attendance for 4 consecutive seasons. Later, whether he went to the Mavericks, Rockets, Bucks, or Kings, his excellent rim protection ability could give him a place. The most commendable thing about Dale Porter is that he did not forget Ben, when the earthquake in his hometown of Haiti, he donated millions of dollars to his hometown, and called on NBA stars to raise money for his hometown, for which he also won the NBA Kennedy Citizenship Award.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="45" >No.11 Richard Jefferson</h1>
Actual pick: 13th pick
Career highlights: 2015-2016 overall champion, bronze medal at the Athens Olympic Games
Jefferson was an underrated character at the beginning of his career, with a personality appearance but a full range of skills, physical fitness is also very strong, the Nets during the league's top 10 small forwards, but after a trade, Jefferson never found the original state. In fact, Jefferson has a chance to rank higher. However, on the one hand, although he averaged 20+ per game in two seasons as a Nets three-horseman and reached the Finals twice, he was the third person on the team, and he was a man who even Popovich could not conquer, and the season with the Spurs was unbearable; in addition, the personal honor of his career was 0, no All-Star, no best team, no All-Star single championship, and no season single statistics first.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > No.10 Memit Oku</h1>
Actual Ranking: Round 2 with 38 picks
Career Highlights: 2003-2004 Overall Champion, 1 all-time Star
When it comes to Oku, Rockets fans will definitely remember it vividly. His combination of inside lines at the Jazz and Boozer made the Rockets miserable. After entering the league, Oku worked as a bench bandit in the Pistons, and although he averaged only 9 points per game, his 37.5% three-point shooting rate was very impressive. Due to the salary cap, the Jazz dug up Oku for 6 years and 50 million, and Oku also reached the peak of his career at the Jazz. He averaged 18 points and 9 rebounds in his highest season with the Jazz, and the playoffs helped the Jazz eliminate the Rockets for two consecutive seasons. His accurate three-pointers gave Yao Ming a headache when facing him, and he reached the Western Conference Finals at the Jazz.
However, Oku's problem is that his career is relatively short, and after being traded to the Nets for one season in 2011, Okur chose to retire. He is also the first player in Turkey to win the championship and the first to enter the All-Star
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" >No.9 Jason Richardson</h1>
Actual ranking: Fifth pick
Career Highlights: Twice Dunk King, Black Eight Miracle Main Member, Best Rookie First Team, Rookie Challenge MVP
Richardson is one of the NBA's best dunks, but in addition to the three-pointer, his scoring ability is just as good. In the Warriors he cut 20+ in two seasons and led the team to achieve black eight with Baron Davis. After being traded to the Bobcats, he averaged 23.1 points per game and was also considered the new Elvis Presley, but was traded after only one season. Later in the sun and magic, the strength declined significantly. He retired early due to injury. Like Jefferson, his personal accolades are very limited, with only two dunk kings. However, he is 16th in three-point history, and there are two short boss experiences, which also give him some extra points in his career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" >No.8 Sean Battier</h1>
Actual ranking: 6th pick
Career highlights: 2 championships, 2 best defensive 2 teams, rookie 1 team, black eight miracles
Nicknamed Batman, Battil is the representative of the high IQ of the high ball quotient in the NBA, and as a high-achieving student at Duke University, his four NBA careers have been very successful. During the Grizzlies' rookie season, he averaged 14.4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, as well as 2.8 assists, 1.55 steals and 1.04 blocks, making him the fourth player in history to do so.
Later, when he came to the Rockets, he went deep into the hearts of Chinese fans and became the best helper around Yao Mai, he was not the kind of player who was known for scoring, but he was a perfect 3D, his iconic blindfold defense and extremely clean defensive action won him high praise, and his bloody fight scene is still fresh in people's minds.
Back with the Grizzlies and the Heat, he said he wanted to help the team accomplish what he didn't accomplish that year and help the team get a playoff game. In the end, the sentient Battier not only helped the Grizzlies achieve their first playoff win, but also eliminated the powerful Spurs.
In the final victory over the Heat, he helped the Big Three achieve two consecutive championships, and it can be said that Battier's career is perfect, and it is also a real masterpiece puzzle.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="70" >No.7 Gerald Wallace</h1>
Actual ranking: 25th pick
Career Highlights: The Bobcats' first All-Star in history, steal king in 2006, defensive in 2010
Wallace is called hard stubble, and Gerald Wallace is no exception. As the first All-Star in Bobcats history, Wallace was an all-around warrior on the court. In the 2005–2006 season, Gerald Wallace was the only player to have averaged 2 blocks and 2 steals per game in the league, averaging 7.5 rebounds per game, including 2.2 offensive rebounds. He was also named an All-Star and Defensive Team of the Year in 2010 for his outstanding performances.
However, the turning point in his career was the 2008-2009 season, when Wallace was hit in the ribs by Bynum during the Bobcats vs. Lakers. The consequences of this elbow are quite serious, Wallace's left lung 30% to 40% atrophy, ribs also fractured, it can be said that this elbow almost ended Wallace's career.
Later Wallace played for the Nets as a trailblazer seeking a breakthrough and served as a chip for the Big Five in the Nets trade. It can be said that Elvis's career as a player who is not known for offense has been very good, but I think that without that elbow, Elvis Presley's career will be higher.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="85" >No.6 Zach Randolph</h1>
Actual pick: 19th pick
Career Highlights: 1 All-Team 3, 2 All-Stars, 2004 Fastest Improving Players
Randolph is a model of the prodigal son of the career, the early days of his career stayed in a mess of Blazers, the team mixed with the roaring Tianzun, Bonchi Wells, Ruben Patterson and other thorns, himself Randolph is not a good stubble, he has played with Patterson in training, although from the little brother on the bench to an average of 20 + 10 per game of the interior killer, but the label of the data brush also makes the Blazers have no intention of keeping him. The Knicks then traded Randolph to strengthen the interior, but the Knicks are also a chaotic team, although Randolph's statistics are still good, but the team is still the second-to-last in the East, plus the on-court and off-court problems for the team, Randolph was traded to the Clippers.
What really made Randolph turn a corner was that he was traded from the Clippers to the Grizzlies, and Randolph really began to lead the team to win as a leader. The Grizzlies, which consisted of Gasol Jr., Randolph, Conley and Allen, were teams that all teams didn't want to meet, and one of the more popular sayings at the time was that if they could get through the playoffs, they had to lose their skin. Together, they have eliminated the Spurs, defeated the Clippers, and fought seven games with the Thunder. To this day, it still gives people the impression of the black and white male who can be called an inner meat grinder.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" >No.5 Tyson Chandler</h1>
Actual pick: Top-ups
Career Highlights: 1 Championship, 1 Best Defensive Player, 1 All-Star, 1 Best Defensive 1, 1 Best Team 3, Olympic Gold, World Championship Gold
Chandler's career can be described as a low start and a high walk, and no one expected that Chandler, who was once considered the eye of the parallel goods list, could finally achieve so many honors. Chandler during the Hornets was the first time in his career that he began to play a brilliant performance, and at Paul's side, he was very successful, not only frequently and brilliantly empty from the front, but also the team's defensive gate. And in the Mavericks, Chandler reached the peak of his career, also on the side of the excellent Kidd, Chandler rejuvenated the second spring of his career, his tough frame, excellent frontcourt rebounds and efficient finishes are important reasons for the Mavericks to beat the Heat. He also won the championship, and then at the Knicks he was voted the best defensive player. The club's outstanding performance also allowed Chandler to receive several national team calls, becoming a double gold medal in the Olympic and World Championships.
The Boxer is also one of the longest-running players this year, and he also played in the league in the 2019-2020 season.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="88" > No.4 Gilbert Arenas</h1>
Actual pick: 1st pick in round 2
Career Highlights: 1 Best Team 2 Team, 2 Best Team 3 Teams, 3 All-Stars, 2003 Fastest Improving Player, Rookie Challenge MVP, 60 points per game
Perhaps Arenas' entire career could not match the previous few. However, he is one of the few superstars in the league at the peak of this year. Ariana, as an inspirational second-round show, came to the Wizards to become the boss of the Wizards after the Warriors became famous. Sharp breakthroughs, ignoring the defense of the three points, the big heart of the key moments, his kill left people with one wonderful scene after another. He also led the Wizards with Jamison and Butler to become the powerhouse in the East at that time, and James played off pk, scoring 60 points in front of Kobe, which is enough to show that it was Arenas' position. However, it is a pity that the later gun goal destroyed Arenas, and was traded to the magic after the comeback of the average score per game dropped to 8 points, and he did not repeat the courage of the year.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="90" >No.3 Joe Johnson</h1>
Actual pick: 10th pick
Career Highlights: 1 three-time three-time, 7 All-Star, career scoring 20,000+ (top 50 in history), 14th in three-point history
As one of the two longest players of his career this year, Singles Joe also represented the United States in the Copa America qualifiers this year. And when it comes to Joe Johnson, contemporary Jordan is the biggest compliment to him. After the Suns began playing with the running boomers with a 17-point average, he was traded to the Hawks. It has also become the most impressive eagle king. He has excellent singles ability, and the same key moments of the giant planet are also impressive. He led the once-fish-belly Eagles all the way to become a regular in the East's playoffs. He has been an All-Star seven times, and although his scoring has been greatly reduced to before in the Jazz and Rockets, he can still score efficiently in the average of about 20 minutes per game. Therefore, a stable and long career, a good team leadership ability, personal honors are still outstanding, singles Joe also jumped to Tanhua after the re-rehearsal.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="111" >No.2 Tony Parker</h1>
Actual pick: 28th pick
Career highlights: 4 championships, the first non-U.S. FMVP in NBA history, six All-Stars, European Championship MVP, skill tournament champion, 3 second-team, 1 third-time
Parker is one of the best non-American guards in NBA history, and although he has no physical advantage over other guards, he is extremely fast, has sharp breakthroughs, and inexplicable small throws make him look like an elf on the court. As one of the Spurs GDP members, he is Duncan's best helper. In the 2007 Finals, he scored the highest score in 3 of 4 games, and his unsolvable performance also made him the first non-AMERICAN FMVP in NBA history. In his 17 seasons with the Spurs, Parker has won numerous accolades, 4 championships, 6 All-Stars, and 4 All-Team Players. In the national team, he also led France to the European Championship. It also makes it the first person in history to collect NBA championships, NBA Finals MVPs, European Championship champions and European Championship MVPs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="112" >No.1 Pau Gasol</h1>
Actual pick: 3rd pick
Career highlights: 2 championships, 6 All-Stars, World Championship MVP, European Championship MVP, 2 second teams, 2 thirds, first score this year (37th in history), first rebound this year (28th in history), world champion, two-time Olympic runner-up
Of gasol and Parker' two European superstars, I chose Gasol to be the winner of this year's re-arrangement. In terms of personal honors, both are 6-time All-Stars, 4 times the Best Team, and both are the second bosses when they win the championship. At the national team level are all European Championship MVPs. But Gasol is more suited to be the core of the team, Gasol is one of the most comprehensive interior lines, whether in the Grizzlies or in Spain, he is the absolute tactical core of the team. And on the defensive end, Gasol has been underrated, and his rim and rebounds are also very good. And his addition made the Lakers on the edge of the playoffs instantly become a championship team, reaching the Finals for three consecutive years and winning two championships. Now 41 years old, Gasol is still playing in Barcelona, and will lead Spain to this year's Olympic Games, such a great and long career, the election is well-deserved.
