has had three draft year in NBA history, namely the 84 Golden Generation, the 96th and 03 Golden Generation. In these three years, there have been many representative figures, such as Jordan, Olajuwon, Kobe, Iverson, James, and Wade. In the following years, Harden and Curry can be considered a draft year. In the past few years, many others have been called draft year, but in fact, they have played very few and cannot support the name of the draft year.
In recent years, the league seems to have another draft year. They are the 18th draft. Two of the players this year have been selected as All-Stars. You should know that it is very rare for third-grade students to be selected as All-Stars, and now 4 people have won super top salaries. In addition, there is another person who has been recognized by ESPN as the top five active players. The top five in the third-grade league can be comparable to James of the same period. Let's take a look at this draft.
4 maximum salary
Porter Jr. signed a super maximum salary of 207 million yuan in four years. As the number one high school student in the United States that year, Porter Jr. missed a season due to injury, but after he recovered and returned, he quickly showed his talent in template Durant. Last season, he averaged 19 points per game by playing without the ball, with a shooting percentage of 54% and a three-point shooting percentage of 44% and a very outstanding three-point shooting percentage. He is also the third player besides Curry and Clay, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40% in the first two years of his career.
If Porter develops the offensive ability to hold the ball in the future, then he will inevitably be an All-Star, why can he even reach the superstar or super level player? In addition, Alexander and the Thunder also signed a super maximum salary contract this offseason, with 172 million yuan in five years. He is the No. 11 pick in the 18th. He averaged 23.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game last season, with a shooting percentage of up to 50.8%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2% is very outstanding. In the future, Alexander can grow into an All-Star player.
Then there is the 18th-year Tanhua Doncic. Doncic and the Mavericks also signed a five-year contract of 207 million. Although Doncic led the team to the second round of the playoffs last season, no one would underestimate him. On the contrary, everyone is optimistic about his strength. The Clippers, who almost had Leonard and George, were eliminated in the playoffs. Both sides reached the tiebreak, and George defeated the Jazz and entered the division finals with a single core.
You can also see how outstanding Doncic is. Last season, he averaged 35.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 10.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 49%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.8%. The more he entered the playoffs, the stronger he became. This was a super-level performance, and now he is completely comparable to James of the same period.
two were selected as All-Stars. One of them is already the top five in the league.
18 has many top potential, such as No. 1 Aiton. He has not signed a contract yet and is probably a super top salary. Aiton is also very likely to become an All-Star player next season. As for now, two of them have been selected as All-Stars in the 18th class. They are Doncic and Trae Young. Doncic has been selected as All-Stars twice. In addition to his rookie season, he has been selected. From this we can see Doncic's strength and popularity.
The other is Trae Young. He was selected as the All-Star last season. Although Trae Young is not as recognised as Doncic, it is undeniable that his strength is also excellent. Looking at the entire East, in terms of leadership ability, Harden is the only one who is better than him. He has the opportunity to become a top five player in the league at the peak of his career. His big heart and football quotient are indeed very outstanding.
And there is one of the 18 drafts that has been recognized by the US media as the top five in the league. He is Doncic. Among the top five active players listed by ESPN, Durant is first, Antetokounmpo is second, James is third, and Doncic is fourth. Doncic is now a super player. In ESPN's view, Curry, Harden and Leonard are all behind him. The ranking may not be very reasonable, but it is not difficult to see the recognition of the US media and how excellent his strength is.
18 is expected to become a big year for the draft. This year, Ayton, Doncic, Trae Young, Sexton, Alexander and Porter Jr. all have the potential to become All-Stars. To evaluate whether a year's draft is a big year, the number of All-Stars is the most direct. There are 10 in the 96 generation, 8 in the 2003 generation, and 6 in the 84 generation. Now, there are such opportunities to become a big year for the draft in 2018.
