Carter is the top buckler in NBA history. Although he has not enough hard honors in his career, his long career and dedicated professional attitude have won the respect of many people. Carter has an elegant style and strong dunks. As the four shooting guards who can be as famous as Kobe and Iverson, his strength should not be underestimated.
Carter was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the fifth overall pick in the first round in 1998. However, after the selection, he swapped clubs with the same-term Antoine Jamison. Toronto got Carter and the Warriors got Jamison.
Carter was quickly cultivated as a core in the Raptors, and of course he did not disappoint the team. In the first season, Carter played 50 games for the Raptors (shrink season) 49 games and made 45% of the field goals. He averaged 18.3 points per game. This score is not only the Raptors’ scoring leader in the season, but also the highest scoring player in this year’s rookies. Carter also naturally won the title of Rookie of the Year and was selected to the All Rookie First Team. Not only did he perform very well, he played a team that was only 16 wins and 66 losses last season to 23 wins and 27 losses, increasing the winning percentage from 19.5% to 46%.
Carter brought the team to the playoffs in the second season. Many people think Carter should be the number one pick in that season, although the rise of Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce appeared later. .
Such an excellent Carter only ranked fifth in the draft, so who are the top four players? Follow the editor to get to know it.
champion: Michael Olowokandi
This player may not have been heard by many fans. If he has heard of it, he may also be known for his "water". He has not received any personal honor in his basketball career. Oh, no, the second team of the best rookies of the 98-99 season! This is his only honor.
He is also known as one of the most watery champions. Behind him appears Nowitzki, Carter, Pierce, Jamison, Wells, Harprin, Larry Hughes, Bibby Once you do a good job, it is unavoidable to be called "parallel imports."
He has played for 9 seasons in his career. He has played for the Clippers, Timberwolves and Celtics respectively. He averaged 8.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in his career. He has a proper role player data and career shooting. The shooting percentage is only 43.5%. As a 2.13-meter inside center, this shooting percentage is obviously a failure. The best season of his career was the 02-03 season. This year, he averaged 12.3 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. He played only 36 games due to injury and was traded to the Timberwolves after the season. In the six seasons since then, he has never averaged double figures per game and has more than six rebounds.
I think the Clippers chose him at the time. Maybe it was because the centers of that era had the world. The success of the four major centers made anyone want to have their own four major centers. But things went against their wishes. Olowo Kandi ended hastily. Finished his career.
Second place: Mike Bibby
Mike Bibby is an excellent defender. He is only 1.85 tall. He has excellent passing organization, gorgeous play, good scoring ability, and a good hand. We can't call him a "parallel importer" for a three-point shot. He is worthy of the second overall pick. We can't guarantee that anyone can pick the strongest player in the future. At least from the time, Bibby was a better second pick. .
Bibby has a good career, but it is strange that he has never been selected to an All-Star or the best team. Like the champion, there is no outstanding personal honor on the personal honor list, and the only one is the best rookie. The lineup, but he is better than the champion, he is a team.
Bibby has played for 14 years in his career and played for 6 teams. Of course, the most important thing is to play for three teams in the last two years of his career. Bibby averaged 14.7 points, 5.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game in his career. He also made 37.9% of his three-pointers. He has never averaged less than 13 points per game in the first 13 years of his career. His highlight moment was still on the Sacramento Kings. He was an important part of Adelman's Princeton system. His gorgeous play made the Kings at the time attract a large wave of fans. Although their team did not have super stars,However, the configuration of Webber, Peja, Divac and Bibby caused the invincible Lakers to suffer a lot. In the 01-02 Western Conference Finals, they almost overturned the Lakers OK combination, and the scores of the two teams were also very close. If you go back to the present, just like the Rockets played the Warriors in the 17-18 season, the Kings lost two consecutive games after winning Tianwangshan and regretted not making the finals.
Bibby's best personal season is the 05-06 season. This year, he averaged 21.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists, and 38.6% of the three-point field goal percentage. Since joining the Kings, Bibby has helped for 5 consecutive seasons. The team entered the playoffs. In the playoffs of his career, he also averaged 12.6 points and 4 assists per game. In the 03-04 season playoffs, he could get 20 points, 4.2 rebounds and 7 assists. Bibby is definitely A player who can be regarded as an important task.
Probing: Reeve LaFrenz
LaFrenz, who was selected by the Nuggets with the third overall pick in the first round, may be more fans have not heard of, because he is even less than the top pick. What's outstanding, there is no personal honor in his career, even for the first or second rookie team, I guess the Nuggets selected him because he is an inside player, plus he has a good shooting touch and can shoot three-pointers. Opening the space, the Nuggets selected him.
He has played in the league for 10 years. In the past 10 years, he played a total of 563 regular season games, averaging 10.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. He played for 4 teams, namely the Nuggets and the Mavericks (Lone Ranger). ), Celtics and Trail Blazers, Lafrenz is a big man who can shoot, 36.3% of his career three-pointers averaged 0.8 three-pointers per game, his first six seasons in his career have scored Double, but never broke through 15 points per game in a season, and never had more than 8 rebounds. In fact, the statistics are not bad, but he can't be the second and third in the team. As a starter, he is fine, but this Obviously I am sorry for his name.
Fourth pick: Antoine Jamison
Jamison is a player who can match his pick.Jamison, who is 2.03 meters tall, has excellent athletic ability and good outside shooting ability. In his third season with the Warriors, Jamison averaged 24.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Although he could not be the core of that kind of team leader Characters, but as the second and third masters, they are still very qualified. The three swordsmen composed of the Wizards, Arenas and Caron Butler are also in the limelight. From the 04-05 season to the 07-08 season, they led the Wizards for four consecutive seasons. Went into the playoffs for the first time, but their luck was not good enough to meet the Cavaliers led by LeBron in the playoffs.
Jamison was named to the All-Star twice in his career. He was also selected as the sixth man of the season in the 03-04 season. He played 82 games with the Mavericks and replaced 80 games with the Mavericks, averaging 14.8 points and 6.3 rebounds. , Shooting 53.8% from the field, 40% from three-pointers, the highest in his career.
Jamison's six years with the Wizards is the pinnacle of his entire career. Four out of six seasons have broken through 20 points. In the remaining two seasons, one is 19.6 points and the other is 19.8 points, which is close to 20 points. Jamison is further well-known in that he partnered with LeBron James in the Cavaliers. James led the Cavaliers to the best record in the Eastern Conference in the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons. He also won consecutive MVP awards, but the team has never been Breaking through the playoffs, the best player by his side at that time was Jamison. He was traded to the Cavaliers in the mid-2009-10 season, averaging 15.8 points and 7 rebounds per game, and was eliminated by the Greens in the playoffs. James moved away from Miami.
Jamison is the best player among the top four players and the only player to be selected as an All-Star. However, compared with the fifth overall pick, Carter is still far away. Whether it is fame or ability, Carter’s 22-year career is also a generational memory. He was selected to the All-Star 8 times and his total career regular season score reached 25,728 points. The dunk is a classic in NBA history.
