Q: In 1984, 1996, and 2008, will the NBA's draft year be reincarnated in 12 years?
A: A very interesting statement. We might as well push it back and see if there is this rule.
1972, 12 years ago in the 1984 draft, the No. 1 pick in this year was center Rau Martin, who disappeared after playing in the NBA for four seasons, and averaged 5.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in his career (Ru Martin was also selected by the Trail Blazers, another inside line that the Trail Blazers did not play). The highest achievement among the rookies in 1972 should be "Dr. J" Julius Irving, who was selected by the Bucks at the 12th pick, but Irving has not played in the NBA for a long time. The most famous of the remaining players should be Bob McCardou, one of the few in history who has won the regular season MVP but is not inducted into the Hall of Fame, and Paul Westfal, who has achieved greater success in the head coach position. It can be said that the level of the draft in 1972 is very average.
1960 draft, No. 1 pick "Big O" Oscar Robertson, second-place "Lakeman Godfather" Jerry West, No. 6, "one of the 50 superstars" Lanny Wilkens, No. 8, and an important member of the Celtic dynasty Tom Sanders. It can be said that these four players are all well-known figures, but outside of them, other players of the 1960 rookie are not good at it.
. In the 1948 draft, there were basically not many excellent players except Dolph Shayce.
It can be said that a 2012 draft year does not necessarily happen. In fact, the situation is different when analyzing the three draft year in 1984, 1996 and 2008 draft year.
The draft in 1984 is somewhat similar to that in 1960. In addition to Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley and Stockton, although there are also outstanding players such as Otis Thorpe, Elvin Robertson, Sam Perkins and Kevin Willis, the number of top players in the overall situation is not too high, and the overall level cannot be said to be unattainable. Only 7 rookies have been selected for the All-Star in this year.
The 1996 rookie can be said to be the most powerful overall class. 10 players have been selected for the All-Stars, not only produced players at the boss level of Kobe, Iverson, Nash, Ray Allen, Marbury, O'Neal Jr., but also excellent starting players such as Camby, Rahim, Anthony Walker, Kitels, Stojakovic, Ilgoskas and Fisher.
Players in the 2008 draft, which has not been in the league for too long, can indeed be said to be a year of very high level. A large number of players have become the absolute main force or important rotation in the team. Among the players selected in the top 30 picks, 26 players have played more than 200 games in the NBA. Even in the second round of draft, players such as Pekovic, Chamos, DeAndre Jordan, Aschke, Bammert, and Dragic have emerged. Overall, the rookie level in 2008 was indeed excellent.
However, a careful analysis shows that although there are many high-quality players in the 2008 rookies, there are almost no one who can truly see that they are capable of becoming stars like James and Kobe in the future. In the top 10 picks, Joe Alexander disappeared, Augustine was marginalized, and second-tier Beasley and Tanhua Mayo performed far below people's expectations. The remaining Ross, Valsau, Raff, Garlinari, Eric Gordon and Brooke Lopez all had serious injuries. In other words, the 2008 rookie is likely to eventually become a state of contending with a hundred schools of thought, and there is no way for the dominant players to lead an era.
A brief mention of the 2003 rookies, where 8 players have entered the All-Star Game, but except for James, Anthony, Wade and Bosh, the remaining Josh Howard, Carman, David West and Mo Williams are basically out of date now. Now that this year's rookie has entered its 10th year of his career, there are very few who can still get the main position, so the new year of rookie is really hard to come by.
