Chapter 447 Best Rookie Lineup
After talking about the best team of the season, next will be the best rookie team and the best rookie.

Most of the players in the All-Rookie Second Team are guys who will dominate the league a few years later.

First the second team.

Center Andre Drummond.

As a rookie this year, although his performance did not meet expectations, his defensive deterrence has already attracted people's attention.

Although he participated in 60 games throughout the season and only started 10 games, he averaged 10 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.6 blocks in 1.6 minutes per game, which fully demonstrates his talent.

When the Pistons put him on the cornerstone of the team, "Zhuang Shen" will quickly become one of the league's top traditional centers!

Small forward Michael Gilchrist.

Before joining the NBA, he had a very strong performance. The outside world once compared him with Scottie Pippen, which shows how strong his talent is.

pity.

Although his talent is obvious to all, he was unable to fulfill his talent after all.

Especially in terms of shooting, his performance can be called a mudslide, but his "blue-collar" performance on the defensive end and multiple positions also makes Joe's boss always look forward to him.

Forward Kyle Singler.

He is a very pragmatic player, and his physical fitness allowed him to become the team's starter after eight games with full attendance in the first season when the Pistons lacked players in this position.

of course.

As a white player, his talent is not as powerful and dazzling as that of black people after all.

But it was his pragmatism and diligence that allowed him to gain the great trust of the Pistons coach and become one of the Pistons' future puzzles.

of course.

A few years later, he has left the Pistons, and regrettably because of his physical condition, the number of appearances has declined year after year, so that he has become a player between the edge and the role.

Center Jonas Valanciunas.

As a European player, Varane is not only physically strong, but also has a soft touch.

But if you think his style is soft, it may be that he has paid less attention.

first season.

Although Varan played almost the same number of games as Drummond due to health problems, he became the Raptors' starting center earlier, and his stronger offensive efficiency also allowed him to score 1.1 points higher than Drummond, reaching Got 8.9.

However, compared to the physical fitness of the blacks, his defensive deterrence is slightly inferior to Drummond after all, with only 6.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

of course.

A few years later, Varane will gradually grow into an indispensable part of the team. The data has been rising year after year, and the role has become more and more significant.

However, it is a pity that because of the Raptors' desire for the finals and even a championship, the big man from Lithuania had to stay away from Toronto in the Marc Gasol trade and take charge of rebuilding the inside of the Grizzlies.

Shooting guard Dion Waiters.

There is no doubt about the talent of this player. Just after entering the Cleveland Cavaliers, he won the trust of James and coach Byron Scott. It only took 13 games to become the team's starting point.

During his rookie season, he had a lot of highlight moments, especially that one-handed breakthrough, which can always bring unexpected surprises to the team.

of course.

Because of his height and attitude, his defense was disappointing after all, and his relatively short stature limited his performance.

also.

Maybe it's because his style is star-studded, rogue-casting and reckless, but the Cavaliers had no choice but to give up on him.

Thereafter.

He played his own worth in the transition from the Thunder, and when he became a free agent again, the Heat got him with an average annual salary of tens of millions.

However, a breakthrough player like him really hurts the body a lot. In the few years he joined the Heat, he rarely played more than [-] games.

and so.

Although talent is very important to a player, a healthy body will eventually allow him to be at the top.

After talking about the second team of rookies, the next team is the players.

Shooting guard Bradley Beal.

As a player with high hopes from the Wizards, his offensive ability was affirmed by everyone before entering the NBA.

such as.

He could have won the Gatorade All-American Player of the Year Award in high school.

Another example is that after entering the University of Florida, although his scoring is far inferior to that in high school, his scoring skills and sense of rebounding are still top-notch.

If not.

When he declares for the draft, he will not be selected by the Washington Wizards with the third overall pick.

And this season's lore highlights and scoring highlights are the best proof of Bill. His scoring ability is really strong, but his physical fitness is also worrying.

Small forward Harrison Barnes.

Before he joined the NBA, he was favored by countless people.

It's a pity that due to some factors and the team's own considerations, he did not enter the top five as expected before the draft, but fell to the seventh pick before being won by the Warriors.

In this season's games, under the extremely high expectations given to him by the Warriors, Barnes not only missed one game due to personal affairs, but also started 81 of the 81 games he participated in.

This shows how much his talent is expected, and how much confidence and trust Curry and Mark Jackson have in him.

of course.

Although Barnes was not a scoring forward before the draft, it was precisely because of his defensive attitude and defensive deterrence that he quickly became an excellent 3D.

If not.

When Barnes ends his game with the Warriors, he won't immediately get a frightening max salary from the Mavericks.

Point guard Damian Lillard.

This dude was born to be a superstar.

After he gave the Blazers a chance, promised one of the core, and gave relatively unlimited firepower, it was simply out of control.

Among the highlight highlights of this season, although his figure is not the most, and not as dazzling as those super giants, he can always show the mountains and waters silently, and can always be mixed in.

And with his comprehensive performance averaging 19 points, 6.5 assists, 1 steal and 3 rebounds per game, he has maintained a super high attendance rate in terms of health issues that players value very much, which shows how talented and capable this guy is. .

Even as the season gradually came to an end, in the ranking of the best rookie, he even kept pace with Qin Tao for a while, and finally surpassed Anthony Davis directly.

a few years later.

When the Trail Blazers lineup changed dramatically, it was Lillard who carried the team forward again and again, making countless people remember this guy with good abilities and character.

Power forward Anthony Davis.

When he participated in the draft, he was regarded by countless people as the No. [-] pick of the year, and the final result is beyond doubt, he is the No. [-] pick without a doubt.

He can have such a high evaluation, that is entirely the result of this guy's high school and college students.

If the basketball in high school is somewhat discounted, then even if you give this product a 16% discount, he can still average 11 points, 3.5 rebounds and [-] blocks per game.

Throughout his high school career, Anthony Davis was called the devil, averaging 32 points, 22 rebounds and 7 blocks per game. He is the No.1 in high school basketball!
And Davis, who entered college, is even more terrifying. Although the statistics are not as terrifying as those in high school, his amazing defensive dominance and role on the court still make him win prizes and get soft.

After finally entering the league, he had nothing to do with parallel imports at all, and his talents were realized super fast, leaving a deep impression on countless big shots.

However, it is a pity that Davis' body is really a big problem.

If he can maintain a [-]% appearance rate, then in the competition for the best rookie, he will be overtaken by Lillard and only become the third overall pick.

Then.

Who is this last person?
I'm afraid you don't need to think about it all.
