The 2013 NBA draft conference has become one of the weakest draft conferences in the 2010s, Top performer Anthony Bennett It fell quickly and became one of the worst draft winners in the history of the league. Besides him, Oladibo and Cody Zeller This pair of walkers' teammates also failed to live up to their high ranking rookie origins. However, the former can be attributed to injuries, and Oladibo has at least been selected as an All Star. Even Little Otto Porter and Alex Ryan They all entered the top five of the draft that year, which is enough to show how weak the strength of this new talent is. If not Letters Gober and Gobel The 2013 draft may be the weakest draft ever.
No. 1 Scholar: Janis Adtokumbo
Actual order: 15th order
Total career salary: $236092616 million
Career field average: 23.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 54.5% shooting percentage, 28.6% three-point shooting percentage
Brother Alphabet is one of the most outstanding non lottery shows in the history of the league draft. At the 2013 draft conference, Brother Alphabet was selected in the 15th order, one rank behind Shabaz Mohammed and one rank ahead of Lucas Nogella. The letter brother of the Greek monster broke all expectations of people for him. From a talent rookie with reckless play, rough technology, height and arm length and outstanding athletic ability, he became one of the most dominant players at both ends of the league. Brother Alphabet has won two regular season MVPs, one Defensive Player of the Year and one championship so far in his career. He has the opportunity to add more honors to himself before the end of his career.
No. 1: Rudy Goebbels
Actual sequence: 27th sequence
Total career salary: 217.52609 million dollars
Career field average: 12.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 65.5% shooting percentage, 63.9% three-point shooting percentage
Gobel is another big leak in the league draft history. His ranking fell to the end of the first round, and later his performance has far exceeded his original draft ranking. As the Defensive Player of the Year for the fourth time, like Brother Alphabet, Goebbels has polished his skills from rough to exquisite. With superb football skills and abnormal physical quality, Goebbels can bring amazing impact in every game.
Exploration: CJ McCullham
Actual order: 10th order
Total career salary: 217.11 million 5909 dollars
Career average: 19.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 45.4% shooting percentage, 39.9% three-point shooting percentage
From playing for a midseason team to the 10th draft of the draft convention, McCullham's career at the University of Caspian Sea has left a deep impression. He averaged 23 points and 5 rebounds in his senior season. However, the real outbreak of McCullham was in the previous season. As a junior student, McCullem scored 30 points in the first round of the 2012 NCAA championship, leading Caspian University to beat Duke University, which is one of the biggest surprises in the history of the NCAA championship. McCullham's smooth and comprehensive scoring ability has been truly reflected in the NBA, making him one of the best shooting guards in the league after being selected.
4th place: Victor Oradipo
Actual Ranking: Top
Total career salary: 126077081 dollars
Career field average: 16.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 43.6% shooting percentage, 34.7% three-point shooting percentage
If he had not suffered serious injuries at his peak, Oladibo would have been ranked higher in this draft rearrangement. Oladibo's outstanding athletic ability, excellent arm span, and high difficulty shooting ability are enough to make him an excellent scorer in the NBA. We are unlikely to see Oladibo at his peak again, but even so, the honor of being selected as an All Star twice in his career and being selected as the best team for three times is not to be underestimated.
No. 5: Steven Adams
Actual order: 12th order
Total career salary: $159.36 million
Career field average: 9.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 58.7% shooting percentage, 53.6% free throw percentage
From here, we can see how weak the overall strength of the 2013 rookies is. Adams has always been a good player in his career, but far from being a star player, he can rank in the top five in this draft rearrangement. Adams is a steady big man player who is loved by his teammates in the locker room. He is good at blocking and setting screen, and can finish the basketball well.
6th place: Dennis Schroeder
Actual order: 17th order
Total career salary: $90.717184
Career field average: 14 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 43.4% shooting percentage, 34.2% three-point shooting percentage
Schroeder used to be a starting point guard, but in recent years he spent most of his time on the bench, where he is more like the sixth man of the team. Schroeder has excellent speed and arm span, and can score by breaking through or shooting three points. However, as a shooter, he really lacks shooting stability. At the same time, the German point guard is an excellent defender in his position.
7th place: Kentavios Caldwell Pope
Actual order: 8th order
Total career salary: $13.7 million 2388
Career field average: 11.4 points, 3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 42.5% shooting percentage, 36.6% three-point shooting percentage
Pop is also an excellent role player. He has been a 3D expert for most of his career. Popp is a sports player who has a good shooting feel outside the three-point line, especially when the pace of his feet is in harmony, and he has been working hard at the defensive end. We can't expect him to dribble and score, nor can we expect him to score on a one-on-one basis. The same is true for pick and roll tactics. However, Pop knows his role well and has played his role well all the time.
No. 8: Kelly Olnick
Actual sequence: 13th sequence
Total career salary: $97.548646
Career field average: 10.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 48.5% shooting percentage, 36.9% three-point shooting percentage
Olnick was the star player of the team in his last season at Gonzaga University. From 5.8 points per game in his sophomore year to 17.8 points per game in his junior year, he has always been the leader of the Gonzaga Bulldog Team. People once doubted whether Orinik's unorthodox playing style could be transformed in the NBA. Facts have proved that it can. Olnick can attack the opponent head-on, shoot over the defense or dribble the ball to score points, and he can also hit the shorter defender with his back. Olnick's ball control skills are excellent, his passing ability is underestimated, and his feet are also fast on the defensive side. His change of defense is more effective than protecting the basket.
No. 9: Tim Hardaway Jr
Actual sequence: 24th sequence
Total career salary: $137.665469 million
Career field average: 14 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 41.8% shooting percentage, 36% three-point shooting percentage
If Tim Hardaway's shooting percentage is not so unstable, his career in the NBA will be different, and his ranking in this draft rearrangement will be much higher. Nevertheless, the career of the son of Hall of Fame point guard is still impressive. When he finds his form, he can have a hot touch outside the three-point line and complete a series of scores. However, his problem is that the hand feels hot and cool quickly. However, little Hardaway can not only dribble the ball to score, but also score in the middle distance, so he is not just a fixed-point shooting expert.
No. 10: Robert Covington
Actual order: rejected
Total career salary: $91.083106
Career field average: 10.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 40.9% shooting percentage, 36.2% three-point shooting percentage
Covington is the highest ranked loser in this draft rearrangement, and he is another outstanding role player among the 2013 rookies. As a 3D player, Covington can send out a lot of steals and blocks in his peak period, and can also shoot three-point shots in the open space, but in addition, he can not provide much other help on the offensive side.
11th place: Little Otto Porter
Actual sequence: Tanhua
Total career salary: $140.5240 million
Career field average: 10.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 47.7% shooting percentage, 39.7% three-point shooting percentage
Porter had a chance to have a better career than he has now. Injuries and instability led to his rapid peak in 2017-18 season and then plummeted. Little Potter was a versatile winger at his peak. What he could do was not just shoot with his feet. This player from Georgetown University can dribble and shoot, play pick and roll tactics, and defend multiple positions.
12th place: Seth Curry
Actual order: rejected
Total career salary: $45.783032
Career field average: 10.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2 assists, 47.1% shooting percentage, 43.1% three-point shooting percentage
Maybe NBA and NCAA should look at Seth Curry's brother when evaluating his development. Seth Curry started his college career at Liberty University and ended it at Duke University. Seth Curry was defeated in the 2013 NBA draft conference, which was very bad after the fact, because he later became a steady role player and elite outside shooter in the NBA, not to mention the quality of the 2013 rookies.
13th place: Mason Plumley
Actual order: 22nd order
Total career salary: $78.728520
Career field average: 8.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 59.4% shooting percentage, 57.3% free throw percentage
Plumley was also a former Duke University Blue Devils player, and a teammate of Seth Curry in college. His later performance exceeded the original draft order. Plumley is a tough big player who is good at setting screen, can finish under the basket, and is willing to do dirty work. His lack of arm span and skills outside the penalty area limit his influence, but on the whole, he is a reliable role player.
14th place: Norrance Noel
Actual order: 6th order
Total career salary: $45.648694
Career field average: 7.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 54.6% shooting percentage, 65.5% free throw percentage
As a defense expert, Noel can spare no effort to contribute to steals and blocks. He has good arm span, quick feet, and excellent individual defense instinct. Noel can still finish under the basket, but his threat after leaving the penalty area is much smaller.
15th place: Michael Carter Williams
Actual sequence: 11th sequence
Total career salary: $23.533031
Career field average: 10.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 40.2% shooting percentage, 25.6% three-point shooting percentage
As the best rookie of the year, McAvoy's average score in the fourth season of his career was less than double digits. Now he has left the NBA, which further explains the weakness of the 2013 rookie. At first, Micawei did show some prospects. He was a tall point guard with good speed and vision, but he lacked shooting ability and overall sports ability. Once the team knew how to defend him, his influence was greatly weakened.
16th place: Reggie Block
Actual sequence: 25th sequence
Total career salary: 38.6 million 6564 dollars
Career field average: 7.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 42.4% shooting percentage, 38.5% three-point shooting percentage
Reggie Bullock's skill is not the most comprehensive, but since he entered the NBA, he has been one of the most reliable three-point shooters in the league. With the accuracy of the three-point shot and the quick release of the jump shot, he still has a lot of playing time.
17th place: Mike Muskala
Actual order: the 44th order
Total career salary: $24.25 million 2553
Career field average: 5.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 45.1% shooting percentage, 37.3% three-point shooting percentage
Muscara has never been expected to become a star player, and has never been close to the ranks of star players since he entered the NBA. However, he can play a good role in the NBA by polishing a worthy exterior projection, which is also an important skill that modern big players must have. To this day, Muscara is still a good big substitute.
18th place: Cody Zeller
Actual order: 4th order
Total career salary: $76.543676
Career field average: 7.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 52% shooting percentage, 22% three-point shooting percentage
A month ago, we would talk about how Zeller fell from the 4th show in 2013 to the NBA. Recently, he has made a comeback in the Heat. To his credit, he has performed well as a big screen player and played well as a pick and remove player to attack the basket.
No. 19: Daniel Tess
Actual order: rejected
Total career salary: US $29.168577
Career field average: 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 54.1% shooting percentage, 33.1% three-point shooting percentage
Tess is another outstanding big role player among the 2013 rookies. He is a good shot blocker. He can hit the open three points, play hard and provide reliable cover.
No. 20: Gorge Jean
Actual sequence: 21st sequence
Total career salary: $77794626
Career field average: 7.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 49.6% shooting percentage, 35.5% three-point shooting percentage
Geon is also an excellent big role player, who can hit the open three points, and can also bypass the small players to finish the attack under the basket. Jean has a long career and deserves respect.
21st place: Tony Snell
Actual sequence: 20th sequence
Total career salary: $53.175288
Career field average: 6.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 43.1% shooting percentage, 39.4% three-point shooting percentage
Tony Snell is regarded as an expert role player in shooting. If he can't hit the jump shot, or can't get a vacancy outside the three-point line, he can hardly help the team. Snell once played for 28 minutes in a game. What was embarrassing was that except for a three-point shot, all other data were lost, which was impressive.
22nd: Matthew Delavedova
Actual order: rejected
Total career salary: $45.886853
Career field average: 5.2 points, 1.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 38.5% shooting percentage, 36.3% three-point shooting percentage
Dravidova is a player loved by the Cavaliers in the history of the Cavaliers. He gave full play to his sports talents and played in the NBA for a long time, far more than most players with his physical quality. Dravidova won the championship with the Cavaliers. In the 2016 finals, he made a tough defense against Stephen Curry and others, and hit some timely shots, which are two highlights of his career.
23rd place: Dwayne Diamond
Actual order: rejected
Total career salary: $48.439189
Career field average: 6.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, 52.6% shooting percentage, 33.6% three-point shooting percentage
Dwayne Dedmon is a tough rebounder and low post terminator. He has a certain scoring ability in the low post and defends hard in the restricted area.
24th place: Ben McLermor
Actual order: 7th order
Total career salary: $31.059587
Career field average: 9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1 assist, 41.4% shooting percentage, 36.3% three-point shooting percentage
Ben McLermo is one of the most disappointing players among the 2013 rookies. Before entering the University of Kansas, he was a superstar player. After playing an impressive season at the University of Kansas, he announced his participation in the draft. However, McLermo's performance after entering the league was not satisfactory, and his sports talent was always unable to match his stable basketball performance.
25th place: Allen Crabbe
Actual sequence: 31st sequence
Total career salary: $58.966776
Career field average: 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 42.5% shooting percentage, 38.7% three-point shooting percentage
Now, Aaron Crabby is no longer in the NBA, and his career is still long. The 2017-18 season is the peak performance, with 13.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game and 37.8% shooting percentage. However, Krabi is not a stable enough shooter to become an elite level outside threat. Once his athletic ability began to decline, his days in the NBA would be almost over.
26th: Sean Larkin
Actual order: 18th order
Total career salary: $6.167345
Career field average: 5.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 42.2% shooting percentage, 33.6% three-point shooting percentage
Shawn Larkin has only played four seasons in the NBA, mainly due to his lack of stature and unstable outside shooting. However, his overseas league career in Europe has left a very deep impression, and he is currently considered to be one of the best point guards in the world besides the NBA.
27th place: Andre Robertson
Actual sequence: 26th sequence
Total career salary: $36.077231
Career field average: 4.5 points, 4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 47.3% shooting percentage, 25.3% three-point shooting percentage
If we had rearranged the draft a few years ago, Andre Robertson might have ranked in the top ten. His defensive influence at his peak was so great. Robson was once one of the best defenders in the league, and he was selected into the second array of the best defensive team in the 2016-17 season. Unfortunately, the knee injury made his career press the pause button too early.
28th place: Alex Ryan
Actual sequence: 5th sequence
Total career salary: $40.092228
Career field average: 7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 51% shooting percentage, 32.4% three-point shooting percentage
As another disappointing player among the 2013 rookies, Ryan had high hopes when he played for the University of Maryland, because he was a big man with flexible movement, low end ability and good toughness. Only his performance in the NBA is not ideal, which is mainly due to his general frame and athletic ability.
Rank 29: Solomon Hill
Actual sequence: 23rd sequence
Total career salary: $58.472359
Career field average: 5.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 38.8% shooting percentage, 33.1% three-point shooting percentage
As a 3D winger, Solomon Hill, who was playing in the same year, could shoot one or two balls in the outside every night, and could play some solid defensive performances.
30th place: Trey Burke
Actual order: 9th order
Total career salary: $23.41432
Career field average: 9.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 41% shooting percentage, 34.5% three-point shooting percentage
Trey Burke was a teammate of Little Hardaway when he was at the University of Michigan. At that time, he was one of the best college players in the United States. Later, he announced to participate in the NBA draft conference. Burke's lack of athletic ability and physique also limited his chances to become an NBA star. However, he persisted in the league for some time by virtue of his ability to shoot difficult shots and his mobility as a ball holder.
