There are only 60 rookies selected by the NBA team each year, and there are only a handful of them that can be successfully left. The average career of a player is only 3-4 years, but there are also many draft picks. Players who are not high have achieved quite high achievements. This article counts the most successful second-round shows in NBA history.
Tenth place Carlos Boozer
Carlos Boozer was selected by the Cavaliers with the 6th overall pick in the second round in 2002. He has made 1 three-game career, 2 All-Stars, won 1 Olympic gold medal. Boozer played a total of 13 seasons in the NBA and was the core player of the team during the Jazz and Bulls.
Boozer averaged 16.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Boozer’s defense is not very good, but his shots and throws are big kills. I vaguely remember that Boozer is holding on. Yao Ming even made a mid-range shot, and he really didn't have any temper at Da Yao.
Monta Ellis
Ellis was selected by the Warriors with the 10th overall pick in the second round in 2005. He has won 1 in his career. The most improved player is now only The 35-year-old Ellis faded out of people's vision early, but he still has the ability to become a rotation player.
The boss of the Warriors back then, even and Curry were all for him. Ellis had excellent athletic ability back then, and his breakthrough was really handsome. Unfortunately, he was not in style with Curry. He was unwilling to recognize his own prospects, and eventually ended up being traded and slowly faded out of the league.
8th place Thomas
Thomas was selected by the King with the 30th overall pick in the second round in 2011.He has made two All-Stars in his professional career, one second team, and the third place in the MVP selection that year. I still remember that when Thomas led the Celtics and Lao Zhan in the Cavaliers battle, the king of the last quarter saved the player again and again. middle.
Thomas is also the holder of the single-game scoring record for the active playoffs, with 53 points in a single game. Thomas is also the kind of player with a higher heart. The whole system of concealed his defensive disadvantages, but Thomas didn’t think so and released a sentence: “They have to use trucks to load money. Renew me", and finally started to wander, and now no team is willing to sign him.
seventh place Louis Williams
Lu Wei was selected by the 76ers with the 15th overall pick in the second round in 2005 and won three times in his career 's best sixth man . Lu Wei's scoring ability definitely exploded, but the defense is also fragmented, and can only be used as a bench scoring player.
Now the 34-year-old Lu Wei has just renewed his contract with the Eagles. He is still in good condition. He is a big brother in the locker room for the young Eagles and can also lead the bench to help the team and help the ball. Team chasing points.
sixth place Millsap
Millsap was selected by the Jazz with the 17th overall pick in the second round in 2006. He has won 1 best defensive team in his career and 4 All-Stars. Millsap, who is 2 meters 03 tall, can play in multiple positions, and moving quickly allows him to change defenses in multiple positions.
Millsap can also receive a salary of 10 million from the Nuggets last season, and now joining the Nets with a basic salary is only for the championship. Millsap is definitely an important signing for the Nets, he can bring tough defense to the team, and Millsap, who has played for 15 seasons, has quite a wealth of game experience.
Fifth place Dream Chasing Green
Dream Chasing Green was selected by the Warriors with the fifth overall pick in the second round in 2012.Won 3 championships in his career, 1 steal, 1 best defensive player , 1 second, 1 third, 3 first defense, 2 second defense, 3 full defense star.
Green Achievements have been beyond the reach of many players in their lifetimes. Although Green’s state has declined severely in recent seasons, the 31-year-old may be the most compatible player between the Warriors and Curry. , And his big contract is still three years away. I believe that after the comeback of and Thompson in the new season, Green’s shooting problem will not be magnified as it is now.
4th place Marc Gasol
Marc Gasol was selected by the Lakers with the 18th overall pick in the second round in 2007, and was then taken as a trader in exchange for his brother Paul Gasol , no one thought that and would achieve such a brilliant achievement.
Gasol 3 All-Stars in his career, 1 first team, 1 second team, 1 second defense, 1 best defensive player, 1 championship. That year the iron-blooded Grizzlies successfully created the Black Eight miracle, and the black and white double bears formed by Xiaojia and Randolph, the Raptors, and the Raptors even better restricted Embiid , Successfully won the first career championship.
Third place Jokic
Jokic was selected by the Nuggets with the 11th overall pick in the second round in 2014. He has 3 All-Stars in his career, 2 firsts, 1 second, and 1 MVP. Was beaten by Zhou Qi Jokic has now become the MVP, and Zhou Qi has faded out of the NBA.
Jokic has been in the Nuggets for 6 seasons. He has produced an impressive resume one step at a time. Today, Jokic is already one of the best centers in the league, and he is only 25. Years old, I believe Jokic will achieve greater success in the future.
Second place Manu Ginobili
Ginobili was selected by the Spurs with the 28th overall pick in the second round in 1999. He has 4 career championships, 2 All-Stars and 2 triples. , 1 time best sixth man, 1 time Olympic gold medal.

Star, 2 times three teams, 2 times best defensive player, 7 times first defense, 1 second defense, and now Rodman has been successfully selected into the Hall of Fame.
Rodman not only helped Jordan create the Bull Dynasty, he was also the last key puzzle of the bad boy army . Back then, the Pistons relied on Rodman's tough rebounding and defense to successfully deflate Jordan, Bird, and Magic Johnson. Rodman's achievements are worthy of the most successful second-round show in history, right?
