The NBA 2019 draft is the draft with the highest rookie success rate in recent years. Although it has only been two years, a considerable number of players in these drafts have become representatives of the new generation of the league. They are all people's Future star. However, the original draft picks did not correspond well to their current strength in the league. Some players did not receive too much attention, but they performed very well after entering the league, while some players although He entered the league with the aura of being the proud one, but he was disappointed many times. Recently, the US media has re-ranked the 2019 draft. Let us see how the draft picks will be arranged after the re-ranking?
The No. 1 pick changed from Zion Williamson to Morant . After Morant entered the NBA, he quickly demonstrated his outstanding physical talent. As the second pick in the draft, although he was ahead of Williamson who had better physical fitness, this did not prevent his physical fitness from being quite outstanding. After entering the league, Morant's development actually far surpassed Williamson's. In his rookie season, Morant gained a large number of fans with his excellent attendance rate and very gorgeous style of play, and he also became the winner of the NBA's Best Rookie of the Year. In the first year of his career, he gave the Grizzlies a very strong impulse, that is, they wanted to build a team around Morant, a young man who could make a difference in the future. In the past two years, Morant has lived up to expectations and truly assumed the role of the cornerstone of the Grizzlies. Last season, he successfully led the Grizzlies to the playoffs . Although he was only in the first round, he was outstanding enough. You must know that he is only a second-year freshman. This season, Morant has completely transformed into a soldier. On the offensive end, he is no longer obsessed with breaking through with the ball, but is more interested in increasing his shooting ability. His shooting percentage from the outside has improved significantly this season, and his three-pointers have become one of the regular offensive weapons. In terms of organization, his passing ability is outstanding. With his super breakthrough ability, his breakthrough distribution can always give outside players the maximum space. At the same time, he can also coordinate well with inside players in pick-and-rolls. His playing style is rough but subtle. The author believes that as long as Morant is given enough time, he will definitely be able to become a future superstar in the league and lead the returning team to complete their rise. There is no doubt that he can become the No. 1 pick in the rearranged draft.
Zion Williamson fell from the No. 1 pick to the No. 2 pick. Williamson was the player who attracted the most attention in the original draft. Before the draft, he was once called the successor of James and will be the next superstar in the league. , he combines his physical talents and personal skills to the extreme. Therefore, every game after he entered the league has received a lot of attention, and his own exposure has reached an unprecedented level. But Williamson's career didn't go very smoothly. In the first year of his career, he missed a large number of games due to injuries. Although his ability on the court was very comprehensive and he had a lot of room for improvement, his attendance rate was too low.He ensured his physical health and had a very good attendance rate. At the same time, he was selected into the All-Star lineup. His personal data also reached a terrifying 27+7 in the second year of his career. But this time is short-lived. In this offseason, he underwent a foot repair surgery, which also resulted in him not being able to play in a game so far this season, and he may also face the risk of season reimbursement. Although Williamson's talent is the highest among players in his generation, his physical risks and professionalism are the most worrying. He cannot control his body and weight well and always indulges in off-season. His weight has always been a very big burden for him, which has seriously affected his development in the league. If he can guarantee his health, Williamson will still be the No. 1 pick. Unfortunately, he cannot guarantee it, so it is understandable that he falls to second place.
The third overall pick is Garland of Cavaliers . Garland was the fifth overall pick in the draft that year, but now he has become a better player through his own efforts. This season he has become the backbone of the Cavaliers. With his excellent offensive and organizational skills, he has become a vital part of the team. He can contribute 19+7 per game, although he is not yet a player. Excellent star, but enough for a young man. Offensively, Garland's style of play is very mature and stable. He is able to use his breakthrough and shooting abilities to perfectly combine, and his off-ball skills and ball-holding skills are just right. He was able to rise to No. 3 overall in this list because of his maturity and stability. At just 21 years old this year, he is likely to become a player who can both score and organize in the future.
The fourth pick is Shiro who plays for the Heat . Herro was a dark horse player in the 2019 draft. After being selected by the Heat with the 13th overall pick, he quickly became the team's key substitute and helped the Heat reach the finals in the first year of his career. Although he failed to win the championship in the end, his ability was recognized by the management and he was regarded as a part of the team's future. Even though some people continued to regard Herro as a trade target during the transaction, the Heat insisted on it. Donβt let go. This season, Hiro's personal ability has reached a higher level, and he can already stably average 20+5 per game. His abilities on the offensive end have been greatly improved and sublimated. In the first two years of his career, he was more positioned as a pure outside shooter and breakthrough player, and did not have much ball-holding ability. This year, his ball-holding ability has been greatly improved, and his ability to create offense independently has also become very good. He can play with ease next to Butler, Lowry and Adebayor. To a certain extent, the current core of the Heat is no longer these three stars, but is making tactical arrangements around Hiero. The author believes that Hirolo's personal ability currently far exceeds that of most players of the same age group, and is even the best in the entire NBA.
The fifth pick is Barrett. Barrett was the third overall pick in the 2019 draft. He had very good star potential at the beginning, but after entering the league, his performance failed to satisfy the Knicks . On offense, Barrett's style of play relies too much on shooting and lacks independent offensive skills. And his physical fitness is very average, and he doesn't have much improvement or potential in terms of confrontation ability. His performance has stagnated in recent years, and there is basically no big difference between his rookie season and this season's performance. If he can plan his current career well, he is likely to become a top 3D player in the future. But if he wants to become a star, it will be difficult. Barrett can improve his defensive advantages and start with defense and counterattack , otherwise his future prospects will be very bleak.
The author believes that this re-ranked list of the 2019 draft is still very reasonable.The current basic situation of these five players is basically consistent with the re-ranking. Although there are some discrepancies, they are not too big. Fans think whether this list is reasonable and what is unreasonable can leave a message in the comment area and let everyone discuss it together.
