Kobe Bryant was only 17 years old when he took part in the draft in 1996, and he was not yet at the legal signing age. His parents had to help him sign the contract, so Kobe was too young at that time, which was one of the reasons why he fell to the third place in the draft. After all, whether a minor can adapt to the NBA is also a big problem.
Also, Kobe is the first high school guard in NBA history (it seems to be the only one). It stands to reason that a high school graduate's basketball skills and brains are still different from those of a college rookie (high school students like Kobe Bryant, Garnett and James are a minority after all).
Before Kobe Bryant, the high school student took part in the draft and was Garnett, the fifth overall pick of 1995. Also, you know Garnett is an insider, and the fifth place is definitely low according to Garnett's talent, but who makes him a high school student? Even Garnett, a talented insider, can only be selected in the fifth pick, and Kobe Bryant was lucky to be selected in the thirteenth pick at that time.
In fact, Kobe Bryant was able to be selected in the draft at that time. You know, the Celtics and the Nets were jealous of Kobe. At that time, the Cardinals planned to win Kobe Bryant and Duncan for two years in a row, but because Celtic Cardinal auerbach had withdrawn from Celtic management (Bryant was still welcome to join the Green Army), they planned to abort. There is also the Nets who are very keen on Kobe Bryant. At that time, the famous coach Ka Ripari wanted Kobe very much, but because the Nets were in a small city and Kobe didn't want to go, plus the pressure from the management of other teams in the Nets, Ka Ripari gave up Kobe.
In short, Kobe fell to the end of the lottery show because of his own operation and the decisions of other teams in the league. Otherwise, Kobe's draft pick will definitely be higher than 13.
