Ben Wallace was selected into the Hall of Fame, and one of those who lost the draft entered the All-Star, won the best defensive player and then entered the Hall of Fame, this can be regarded as an encouragement to the younger generation, I don’t know if it’s playing now. The question of law change is that scouts have higher requirements for players. Now many top players in the league are undrafted. Some of them have won ten million contracts, and some have become the core of the team. , Today we will take stock of the nine current draft losers.
Wood
Christian Wood may not be known to many friends? He lost the draft in 2015, and was fortunate enough to enter the league with the 76ers in the Summer United, and then played for the Hornets and then moved to Pistons. He proved himself in the Pistons. He played for the Rockets last season and averaged 21 points and 9.6 points per game. He had 1.7 assists and 1.2 blocks in rebounds and 37.4% of his three-pointers. A proper new-age top power center. Think of the same-term scouting Okafor. It's really ten years in the east and ten years in the hexi.
Van Fleet
The success of Fan Jordan was due to the birth of his child, and Van Jordan was the development of the Raptors after losing in 2016. He played in the league and was later recalled to the Raptors. After the recall, he has always played a nerve knife style. However, after his wife gave birth to a child in the 2019 playoffs, his second line of Ren and Du was also opened up, not only helping the Raptors to win After winning the championship, it has become the core of the team now averaging 19.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
Covington
Ironman Covington is one of the best 3D players in active service. He is one of the best 3D players in active service. For his own sake, he was also selected as the best defensive team in the 76ers. Last season, he averaged 8.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 38%. Players in this position now hold a large contract worth tens of millions.
Ingles
Unexpectedly, such an excellent substitute for Ingles was also undrafted, and he was not drafted until 2014-15. He just got his chance in the Jazz. The king-oil wing quickly used his skills and comprehensiveness to conquer Salt Lake City. Last season, he averaged 12.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists, and his 3-point shooting percentage was as high as 45.1%. To be honest, this small ball era has saved too many careers.
Seth Curry
is also the player who saved his career by the small ball era, so he can directly thank him for being his brother in 2013 After losing the draft in 2015, he basically had no ball to play during the Grizzlies, Cavaliers and Suns. However, with the advent of the small ball era, the genes of Curry’s projection also allowed Ses Curry to quickly prove himself. Last season Averaged 12.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.He averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game, and the hit rate was as high as 45%!
Duncan Robinson
One of the strongest shooters in active service, I believe there is no big doubt? I have to say that the vision of Riley is really poisonous. Dun Luo was simply without the ball to play back then. He was old and had no talent. Only his shooting ability was good, but Riley saw his maturity and worked hard to sign him. Last season, he averaged 13.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 40.8% from three-point range, and 3.5 three-pointers per game. This offseason signed a five-year contract with the Heat of 89.91 million.
Nunn
Nunn was also selected by the Heat as a losing pick. This guy has been the best performer since his rookie season. If it weren’t for the arrival of and Lori to save cap space, it is estimated that they would still have Nunn. Last season Nunn averaged 14.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists, and his field goal percentage was as high as 48.5%. This is so outstanding. The underdogs got the big contract and went to the Lakers to get the middle-class contract. The Lakers picked up the treasure!
Aaron Baynes
Baynes was also a loser. He was a loser in the 2009 draft, but he was considered the strongest insider in Europe when he participated in the draft. Yes, but no team wanted to choose him. In the end, the Spurs gave him a chance in 12 years.In the 19-20 season, he averaged 11.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game when he played for the Suns in the 19-20 season. He has good space ability, good frame protection and screen quality. However, Baines suffered a serious neck injury before. I heard that He will miss the next season for an entire season. I hope he can recover.
Caruso
Caruso left the Lakers, but he should be grateful to the Lakers for giving him the opportunity to prove himself, and Caruso played enough defense. Very good, now the three-pointer is more stable than before. He has a firm foothold in the league and hopes that he will have a good career in the future. Last season, he averaged 6.4 points, 3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals, and the 3-point shooting percentage was 40.1%. , And the Bulls signed a 4-year long-term contract of 36.98 million during the offseason.
Just these few people form a team, do you think you can make the playoffs?
