At present, the NBA playoffs have entered a white hot stage. Denver and Timberwolves, the Pacers and the Knicks will decide the number of places in the East and West finals by grabbing seven. At the same time, NBA draft is also the most discussed topic recently. The NBA draft conference is an opportunity for the team to add new blood and enhance strength. However, not every year, a group of rookies with superior strength and promising prospects emerge. Just as this year is called the draft year, the quality of rookies is relatively low. However, in some years, the super rookies show a blowout situation, the most classic is the 96 gold generation, 03 platinum generation! However, whenever a super rookie appears, it often leads to a period of collective rottenness in the NBA. These teams expect to get a chance to change their destiny through a short period of rottenness. So, throughout the history of the NBA, which players can proudly tell the outside world that half of the league played bad for me in the draft year?
The first one is Duncan
Duncan has been a basketball genius all over the country since he was in college. He has amazing basketball talent and excellent physical quality. His football skills were very mature in college, that is, his fighting power was no less than that of the famous NBA stars at that time. Duncan's talent is not limited to the basketball court. He is also a very smart and leading young man.
Before the draft, Duncan became the target of 15 teams in the league. In order to get him, many teams began to suck early. That season, in the western region, four teams won no more than 25 games in the whole season, and five teams won no more than 30 games in order to get Duncan. The Spurs were even more crazy. They directly ranked second in the western region last season, falling to the penultimate in the western region.
The Spurs bet correctly this time. They not only took Duncan, but this champion has been signed for 20 years. During Duncan's time, he played hard and brought five championship trophies to San Antonio. Duncan's performance and contribution are not only on the basketball court, but also the leader and representative of the team. His spirit and attitude have become the totem of the Spurs and the greatest player in the history of the Spurs.
Second, James
The year 2003 was hailed as another draft year after the golden generation in 1996, because many epoch-making rookies emerged in that year, such as James the Little Emperor, the first high school student in the United States, Anthony the Little Melon, who broke the NCAA record, Milicic, who was known as "the light of white people", and Wade, who was known as "183 Jordan".
In particular, James, we all know his talent and potential. The Cavaliers, Nuggets, Raptors and other teams began to play poorly. In the NBA this year, seven teams won no more than 30 games, the Raptors won only 24 games, and the Cavaliers went too far, winning only 17 games. Finally, the Cavaliers won James. The Cavaliers not only expanded their popularity with James, but also won the only O'Brien Cup in the team history under the leadership of James.
Third, Wiggins
2014 is another recognized draft year after 2003, because this year there are many talented rookies, of which Wiggins is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. The template of Wiggins is James, who is known as the next God selected son. Wiggins' dynamic talent and static talent are both very scary. Sainte Ai's 2.01 meter arm span reaches an amazing 2.13 meters. 360 degree dunks are as simple as drinking water and eating food. In order to compete for this legendary talent, many teams have to start layout at the beginning of the season, hoping to get a better draft order through bad placement.
In the east, there are as many as 9 teams with less than 50% winning rate, 8 teams in the whole league with less than 40% winning rate, and 5 teams with less than 30% winning rate in order to get Wiggins. These teams can be said to do everything in order to be rotten, and some teams even deliberately lose. In the end, the knight got Wiggins as he wished, but unfortunately, James decided to 2.0 and return to Cleveland. The knight had no time to wait for Wiggins to grow up. Finally, he decided to send Wiggins away in exchange for instant combat joy. However, although Wiggins has unparalleled talent, his way of playing health basketball and his attitude are destined not to make him a superstar.
Fourth, Auden the Great
Although Oden became the most qualified player due to injury in the later stage, as Durant said, even if the draft was repeated that year, the team with the No. 1 player's signature still did not hesitate to choose Oden. Oden has the top physical talent, and has also played a horrible ruling level data in NCAA. At that time, it was considered to be the combination of the Lord of the Rings and the sea general. Besides the trailblazers, the Celtics are also playing for Oden the Great. That year, the Green Army only won 24 victories. Unfortunately, they only got the No. 5 signature.
V. Wenbanyama
Although the 2023 draft conference is not a big draft year, Wenbanyama is indeed a talent player once in a century. He is known as the extended version of Durant. With a height of 2.26 meters and an arm span of 2.44 meters, Durant's terminal ability, coupled with the defense ability of Brotherhood, makes the Spurs, Pistons, Trailblazers and Rockets crazy, The Spurs even sent away the young star Murray in order to put on a bad show. Xiao Hua even came forward to warn these teams not to let the game lose its enjoyment for the sake of the literary class. Finally, the Spurs were lucky to get the No. 1 spot and took Wen Ban away. In the first season, Wen Ban won the best rookie award and ranked second in the nomination of best defensive player, second only to Gobel, with 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals 3.6 blocks. On the whole, although his antagonistic ability is a little weak, he really can do everything. He is proficient in attack, frame protection and defense, and his future is unlimited!
However, such a bad trend has also aroused the dissatisfaction of many media and fans. Some people suggested that the league should develop a data model to directly award the top scorers to the real weak teams in the league. What do you think about this?
