Many NBA fans should have heard this joke more or less: No. 1 pick must be the best. In NBA history, there are not many examples of the No. 1 pick in the same class who can make a fortune. The two seem to have only one ranking difference, but it means that these two players may write completely different stories in their future careers. . Today we will take a look at the No. 1 picks who have faded out of the NBA league in the past 10 years. One player averages 2.2 points per game and one player angers Chinese fans more than a month ago.
1, Hashem-Tabbit (second-hand)
At the 2009 NBA Draft , Blake Griffin was Clippers' team was selected as the No. 1 pick, while the Grizzlies used the No. 1 pick with the No. 1 pick. Hashem-Tabit was selected. Although Griffin delayed his rookie season by one year due to injury, he has been selected for NBA All-Star five times so far in his career and 4 times in the NBA All-Star (3 second teams, 1 third team), in terms of personal honors Make some achievements. As for Tabit , he was once highly expected and was even known as the successor of Hakim Olajuwon, the " Big Dream ", but he was unable to do so due to lack of technology, thin body, poor learning ability and other reasons. Save talent. Tabitt has played for four teams in five NBA seasons, averaging 10.5 minutes per game, scoring only 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds, becoming the most popular in history among fans. At the end of September last year, Tabit signed with the Yokohama B-Corsairs Club in the B1 league of Japan to play in Japan.
2, Derek Williams (No. 1)
In the 2011 NBA Draft, Kyrie Irving was selected as the No. 1 pick by the Cavaliers, and Derek Williams became the No. 1 pick. Irving has been selected into the All-Star five times in his career and won the championship ring in 2016. He can continue to make achievements in the Celtics. Unlike Irving's excellent resume, Derek Williams seemed a little mediocre. After leaving the Timberwolves, he began to sink. Not only did he not improve his skills, he did not shoot badly, and he also made mistakes in the third and fourth positions. There are obvious disadvantages in the above, and the second-tier player who was once a glorious soon became a marginal player on the team. Although Derek Williams signed a 10-day short contract with the Lakers in March this year, he was later abandoned by the Lakers and has now faded out of the league.
3, Anthony Bennett (No. 1 pick)
As we all know, Anthony Bennett was a player selected by the Cavaliers with the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft. I didn't expect that I would be called so soon name. This small inside player, nicknamed "genius", failed to perform in the NBA league with the status of No. 1 pick. He was laid off repeatedly. In a few years, he had to travel overseas and became the "parallel top pick" mentioned by fans. It is worth mentioning that in the two warm-up matches between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Canadian national team at the end of June this year, Bennett once pushed Lu Wenbo with great movement, angering the Chinese men's basketball coach Du Feng, and once The non-conflict subject directly pushed the Chinese men's basketball player, and the two actions also angered Chinese fans.
As the second place in the same class, although Victor Oladipo was once abandoned by the Magic and Thunder, he, known as the "hard training of the family patriarch", still made significant progress through hard training and was at the Pacers' station He has a stable foothold and not only has he become the new leader of the Pacers, but has also been selected into the NBA All-Star lineup. LeBron James also appreciates him very much.
