In the 2007 draft, Bucks chose Yi Jianlian, the youngest MVP winner of CBA in China, in the sixth place. The top five are Jeff Green, mike conley, Horford, Durant and Auden. So, after 12 years, what is the current situation of the top five players?
As Durant's junior, Jeff Green participated in the NBA draft with Durant in 2007, and was selected by the Celtics with the fifth overall pick. Soon, in a deal involving ray allen, Jeff Green was sent to seattle supersonics (the predecessor of Thunder) by the Celtics. Unfortunately, during the Thunder, Jeff Green didn't get more attention. After the Thunder, Jeff Green began to wander, moving to Celtic, Grizzlies, Magic, Cavaliers and other teams. In 20 18, Jeff Green signed a one-year basic salary contract with Wizards for 2.5 million dollars, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
So far, the most shining moment in Jeff Green's career is when he was a rookie, and he won the starting lineup of the best rookie in 2007-08. In 12' s career, Green averaged 13.2 points, 4.5 rebounds10.3 assists per game.
Evaluation: Jeff Green is a serious player. But Green lacks basketball talent and is not cultivated by the team. His career is unremarkable.
In 2007, the Memphis Grizzlies selected mike conley in the fourth overall pick. During the Grizzlies, Xiaokangli has been the main player of the Grizzlies, helping the Grizzlies enter the Western Conference playoffs for seven consecutive seasons. In Grizzlies, Xiaokangli has created a number of team history records: team history scoring king, team history assists king, team history three-point king and team history steals king.
In the summer of 20 16, Xiaokangli won a five-year contract of 654.38+53 million. Perhaps, Xiaokangli is not a superstar in the league. However, in many seasons, Xiaokangli has never made a technical foul on the court, and his gentlemanly demeanor on the court definitely impressed people on and off the court.
Today, Xiaokangli plays for the Jazz, becoming the point guard in the new team and helping Mitchell grow up. Since his career, Xiaokang Force Field has averaged 14.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists.
Evaluation: Xiaokangli is a low-key king. If nothing happens, Grizzlies will definitely retire from Xiaokangli 1 1 jerseys. I hope that in the near future, we can see that Xiaokang can also wear the championship ring like Gasol Jr.
As a flower exploration in 2007, Horford became famous in Eagle. In 20 16, Horford signed a four-year contract with Celtic worth $65,438 +0. 1 100 million.
During the Celtic period, Horford, as the main force of the team, led the team to the Eastern Conference finals.
In the summer of 20 19, Horford jumped out of the contract to join the 76ers, and formed the 76ers' version of "Five Deaths" with the great Embiid and Simmons. Up to now, Horford has averaged 14. 1 8.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.8 steals 1.2 blocks.
Evaluation: There are not too many injuries, which may be an important factor for Horford's career stability. At present, Horford is still at the peak of his career and still has a place in the league.
There is no doubt that Durant's achievements today are second to none in the same session.
During the Thunder period, Durant showed a superstar demeanor and led the team to the playoffs for several consecutive seasons. In the fierce competition in the west, Thunder always ranks in the team for the championship. However, Thunder's brainless operation made Durant unable to see the hope of winning the championship.
Fortunately, Durant won the championship as he wished during the Warrior period and won the finals FMVP twice in a row. Durant made a final effort for the Warriors in the 20 18- 19 season finals. However, like a tiger, Durant still failed to turn the tide when he went out with injuries.
During the 20 19 offseason, Durant officially announced that he would join Owen in the Nets. However, the rewards are far away. According to experts' prediction, Durant's fastest return time should be next season. In the absence of a season, Durant's performance can still be in the "death" mode as always, or is it difficult to return to the peak?
So far in his career, Durant has averaged 27 points, 7. 1 rebounds, 4. 1 assists, 1 steals and 1 blocks.
Evaluation: Even if Durant chooses to retire now, the Warriors will not hesitate to retire the No.35 jersey. However, this basketball genius who was once comparable to James has to continue to catch up.
Lang, the champion in 2007, is now often ridiculed as the "parallel champion". But Auden did force Durant to become the number one scholar at that time. Auden is a combination of bill russell and david robinson, and he is fully capable of becoming a historical center.
Unfortunately, since Auden entered the NBA, injuries have been bothering him endlessly. After quitting the NBA, Auden even briefly entered the CBA season to play basketball. Before long, Auden bid farewell to the game completely.
Today, Auden is the assistant coach of the men's basketball team of Ohio State University. Throughout the NBA career, Auden played 105 times, averaging only 8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.
Evaluation: If you had to choose again, who would the pioneers choose? It must be Auden. If it weren't for injuries, Auden would be the dominant center in the league.
1, Greg Oden Center
Portland Trailblazers (now retired)
Greg oden was chosen as the No.1 pick by Portland Trailblazers. He is called a combination of Russell and the general. He has top physical talent and excellent basketball skills, and is regarded as the dominant center of the next generation. It has become a classic for universities to single out Noah and Horford. However, due to injury, he only played 82 games during his five years in the Trailblazers. In the off-season of 20 13, Auden signed a one-year contract with Miami Heat. 20 15 played for CBA briefly, and on 20 161October 28th, Greg Oden officially announced his retirement. The talented insider who was destroyed by injury is currently the assistant coach of the Ohio State University men's basketball team.
2. kevin durant small forward
Oklahoma City Thunder (currently playing for Brooklyn Nets)
Kevin durant was selected by seattle supersonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) in the second overall pick in the first round. During Thunder's ten years, he won numerous honors, including scoring champion and MVP in the regular season, and grew into a superstar in the league, but he never won the championship.
On July 4th, 20 16, Durant joined Golden State Warriors as a free agent. In the following three seasons, Durant won three finals and two championships, and Durant successively won the finals MVP.
On June 27th, 20 19, Kevin Durant chose not to implement the player option for the 20 19-20 season and became a completely free player. On July 8, Durant signed with Owen for the Brooklyn Nets.
3. Al Horford Center
Atlanta Hawks (currently playing for Philadelphia 76ers)
Al horford entered the NBA through the draft in 2007, and played for the Eagles, Celtics and 76ers successively. He won relatively few honors, but he has grown into an all-star player through solid basic skills, hoping to win the championship dream in the 76ers.
4. Little mike conley defender
Memphis Grizzlies (currently playing for Utah Jazz)
Mike conley was selected by Memphis Grizzlies in the 4th overall position of 1 in the 2007 NBA Draft. As a traditional guard, Conley's data has been progressing steadily, so that he renewed his contract in 20 16 with the largest contract in NBA1500,000. Five years later, Mike Conley was selected by Memphis Grizzlies in June 20 19.
5. Jeff Green small forward
Boston Celtics (now playing for Utah Jazz)
Jeff Green was selected by the Celtics in the 5th overall pick in the first round. Then, in a transaction involving Ray Allen, he came to seattle supersonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder).
He has played for Sonics/Thunder, Celtics, Grizzlies, Clippers, Magic, Cavaliers, Wizards and Jazz. Selected as the first lineup of the best rookie team in the rookie season, go high and go low!
At that time, the 2007 draft was called a grand event comparable to Diamond Generation 1984. At that time, there were many talented potential figures in both the inside and outside lines and even in the international arena.
Among them, Yi Jianlian is one of the representatives in the international field. He was selected by the Bucks in the sixth overall position, and later returned to play in CBA for various reasons. So how are the top five players doing now?
In 2007, Auden was the No.1 scholar and Durant was the No.1 scholar. Unfortunately, Auden eventually withdrew from the NBA stage due to injury and now works as an assistant to the school team at Ohio University. Auden is a terrible existence in the university. He was called the combination of bill russell and david robinson in the draft, and he is an epic center who can rule the NBA.
However, compared with Durant, Auden is now an indisputable parallel. Durant is a four-time scoring champion, and has won the regular season MVP and two All-Star FMVP. He has reached Jordan's level in scoring ability.
In addition, because of joining Golden State Warriors, Durant won the championship and FMVP for two consecutive years, becoming the top five small forwards in history. Now he has joined the Brooklyn Nets, but he can't play because of a broken achilles tendon. I hope he can return to the top and continue his campaign in the future.
In addition to Auden and KD, Horford and Conley, ranked third and fourth, are still one of the cores of their respective teams. Horford became famous in the Hawks and later moved to the Celtics. The best result is to reach the Eastern Conference finals, and join the 76ers this summer to assist Embiid and Simmons, two potential superstars, to hit the championship.
Conley worked hard for the Grizzlies for 12 years, and moved to Jazz this year, hoping to help rookie Mitchell fight his way out in the Western Conference. For the Jazz, he is an important signing, serving as the starting point guard of the team.
Jeff Green, who was ranked fifth, was not so lucky. At the beginning, because I didn't get many opportunities with Durant, I went to several teams in a row and didn't get reused. Now he has basically disappeared from the wizards and Wall and Bill.
Generally speaking, this year's rookie is still good, but it has not reached people's ideal level, and it does not have the capital to compete with the 84th rookie. Should belong to the law.
The top five in 2007 were greg oden, kevin durant, al horford, mike conley and Jeff Green. Next, I will briefly talk about the basketball stories of these five players.
Compared with Auden, Durant is obviously more like a representative of the 2007 draft. Not only won the championship twice, was named FMVP twice, but also was selected for the All-Star Game once * * 10 times, and won the scoring champion four times. In addition, he became a member of the "50-40-90 Club" in the 20 12-20 13 season, and his shooting percentage was as high as 50%.
Horford won the NCAA championship twice in college and was also an all-star player. So far, he has played for Eagles, Celtics and 76ers. Up to now, he has averaged 14. 1 minute and 8.4 rebounds.
Mike conley is a tepid player, but in 20 16, he teamed up with Grizzlies to create a "big news": he renewed his contract with Grizzlies for five years at a price of $65,438+$53 million, which made him the most expensive player at that time. It is crazy for a player who has never been selected for the All-Star Game to get such a generous salary, but it is normal for a team that dares to give Parsons a big contract. However, to the grizzlies' slight embarrassment, they sent Conley to the Jazz this summer, which once again proved that their decision was irrational.
Compared with the above four players, Jeff Green is obviously much more boring. He has played for eight teams since he transferred to Jazz this summer. In these games, he averaged 13. 1 points, 4.5 rebounds 1.6 assists.
Finally, return to Yi Jianlian who has returned to CBA league. He has played for Bucks, Nets, Wizards and Mavericks. He averaged 7.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 272 regular-season games he participated in. His highest score in a single game is 3 1 point when playing for the Nets.
I think the 2007 NBA draft was a big year, and there were many potential rookies that year. Yi Jianlian was selected by the Bucks in the 6th overall pick. The players in front of him are Auden, Durant, Horford, Conley and Green.
Yi Jianlian didn't stay in NBA for a long time, and finally returned to CBA. What about the players in front of him now? It's been 12 season, and most of them are still in the NBA.
The top scholar Auden the Great was destroyed by injury, and Auden stabilized Durant in the draft. Auden is an insider with high hopes, and his data when he is healthy is also very dominant. Unfortunately, serious injuries led Auden to leave the NBA early, go to CBA, participate in big3 League, and finally return to school to finish his studies. On the whole, Auden is the worst job here!
Durant is the most successful, winning almost all the honors in his career. Now he is a top player in the NBA. Even though he was injured, the Nets signed him at a high salary!
Horford is a winner in life. He worked hard in his career, was an all-star player in NBA and won many honors. He is nicknamed the ball blind appraiser by the fans, and his role is not reflected by the data. He still plays for the 76ers with a good contract.
Conley is the lowest-key player in this game. He is a low-key player with strength and an excellent point guard. Although there is no all-star, he once received the highest salary in the league. Conley is now in the jazz, launching a championship shock!
When Green first entered the NBA, he partnered with Durant and was once one of the three young players of Thunder. Unfortunately, he underwent major heart surgery. Although he still plays in the NBA, his role has been marginalized and his contract is very low.
The NBA is a place with a high elimination rate. In 2007, except Auden, who doesn't play in the NBA, the top five picks were still there. They have always maintained their competitiveness, which is the embodiment of their strength!
When it comes to China players in NBA, people will first think of Yao Ming, because Yao Ming has gained a firm foothold in the league and achieved many honors and status, the best proof of which is to enter the Hall of Fame. However, Yi Jianlian, as the No.6 show in 2007, also played in the NBA for a long time. Although he was not as successful as Yao Ming, only many people remembered the name Yi Jianlian.
Show No.5 Jeff Green: Jeff Green and Durant were selected by the Sonics together, and together with Shao Wei, they formed the prototype of "Thunder Three Less". But with the addition of Harden, Green was slowly abandoned by Thunder. Although he later went to the Celtics and played well, he was repeatedly injured and gradually marginalized, and began his wandering basketball career.
Mike conley, No.4 show: mike conley was the longest-serving player on the same team in 2007. His consistent performance is that he is the main force of the team. Although he was not selected as an All-Star, his strength should not be underestimated. The high salary of 65438+300 million signed in 2065438+2007 is the best proof. Later, when Gasol left the Raptors, Conley couldn't see the hope of winning the championship at all, so he was traded to the Jazz this season. Grizzly bears' loyalty to Conley for more than ten years is reasonable.
No.3 show Horford: Career 12 season, Horford averaged 14.65, 438+0 points, 8.4 boss 3.2 3.2 assists. Although the data looks average, Horford's role on the court is not fully reflected by the data. All the coaches who took Horford praised him.
Durant, No.2 show: Durant is an undisputed top star and an excellent scorer. He joined the Warriors on 16 because of his desire for the championship, and won the championship twice in three years. If it hadn't been for the injury in the finals last year, it would have been three consecutive championships. It's a dynasty, and there will be no raptors. I came to the Nets this season and look forward to an early comeback.
Auden: Now the league is talking about Embiid's The Great. In fact, the word "great" is used for Auden. Even if we talk about "Auden the Great" now, we will never violate peace. Auden's fame is well known in college, so many scouts also think he is the next James. However, due to repeated serious injuries, he failed to display his talent in the NBA and gradually had no ball to play. This year's No.1 scholar Zion's figure, position, potential and talent can be comparable to Auden's, but now the league's worry about him is also an injury. I hope Zion won't be affected by injury and can play. . . .
In 2007, the NBA draft was held at Madison Square Garden Theatre. Yi Jianlian's top five players are greg oden, kevin durant, al horford, mike conley and Jeff Green.
Top scholar-greg oden
Born in 1988, American, center position. The title of "Oden the Great" was originally selected by Portland Trailblazers. He played for teams such as Trailblazers, Heat, Jiangsu, etc., but suffered from injuries. On 20 16, he announced his retirement. Young and famous, he had a one-handed performance in college, characterized by height, arm length, flexibility and speed. NBA career data: 1 14 appearances, averaging 15.5 minutes, 5.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks.
Second place-kevin durant
/kloc-born in 0/988, American, forward position. The title of' Death' was chosen by seattle supersonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) in the second place. He used to play for Thunder and Warriors, and now he plays for the Nets. It is characterized by steady input, skillful ball control, soft shooting, excellent stride change and turn. NBA career data so far: 987 appearances, averaging 38.6 minutes, 28 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists 1.2 blocks 1.0 steals. Its honors: 2 NBA championships, 2 FMVP, 1 MVP, etc.
Exploring Flowers-al horford
/kloc-born in 0/986, Dominican, Chinese, center position. The third overall pick was selected by Atlanta Hawks, who played for the Hawks and Celtics and now plays for the 76ers. It is characterized by running, passing, controlling the ball, high shooting accuracy, excellent rebounding ability and being good at using the body to carry out basket lifting combat. NBA career data so far: 906 appearances, averaging 33.7 minutes, 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 blocks, 0.8 steals.
The fourth choice-mike conley
/kloc-born in 0/987, American, guard position. The fourth overall pick was selected by Memphis Grizzlies, who first played for Grizzlies and now plays for Jazz. It is characterized by fast speed, clear sense of position, excellent breakthrough, mainly passing the ball and strong shell carrying ability. NBA career data so far: 844 appearances, averaging 34.9 minutes, 15.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.2 assists 1.4 steals.
The fifth choice-Jeff Green
/kloc-born in 0/986, American, forward position. The fifth overall pick was selected by Boston Celtics. He played for the Sonics (Thunder), Celtics, Grizzlies, Clippers, Magic, Cavaliers and Wizards, and now he plays for Jazz. It is characterized by strong ability of back basket and face basket, good confrontation ability, good low singles and strong flank defense ability. NBA career data so far: 929 appearances, averaging 28.6 minutes, 1 1.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists.
Auden is considered a great pity by many people; The blazers' team doctor was once teased by fans. Among the other four people, the most famous and powerful one must be Durant, the' Death'.
As we all know, NBA is the top basketball league in the world, and basketball experts from all over the world gather here. Many people think that playing in the NBA is the highest honor. Of course, the main way to play in the NBA is through the NBA draft. Players with outstanding ability and talent will be picked by the team in the first half of the first round. Six people from China participated in the NBA draft. Except Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian has the highest overall pick, and the sixth overall pick in the first round in 2007 was won by Bucks.
Yi Jianlian, the sixth overall pick in the first round in 2007, was selected by the Bucks, who played for the Bucks, Nets, Wizards and Mavericks. As a power forward, the United Arab League is a mobile inside player with excellent mobility and excellent shooting feel, mainly focusing on mid-distance jump shots and back singles. The disadvantage is that the play of the United Arab League is not tough enough, the one-on-one defense ability is poor, and the inside strength is not strong. This is one of the reasons why he returned to the domestic league after only five seasons in the NBA. In five seasons of his career, the United Arab League can contribute 7.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game. In the 20 12- 13 season, the United Arab League returned to Dongguan Bank in Guangdong Province and was named the most valuable player in the CBA regular season for four times. This season, the United Arab League was crowned the historical rebound king of CBA, becoming the first 65438+ in CBA.
Although frustrated in the NBA, he is still the first in the domestic league. He is still the leader of the men's basketball team in China. If he returns to the NBA, he will definitely be a blue-collar worker with his ability. He is good at three points on the outside, which is very suitable for the game in the era of small ball, and his confrontation ability has also been greatly improved. He has the strength to fight hard in the NBA. On the other hand, as an Asian player, the strength of playing such data in the NBA is far from the same.
Fifth place: Jeff Green. The fifth overall choice is green. His luck after entering the NBA is not as good as Yi Jianlian's. Yi Jianlian has at least had a glorious period at the core of the team. Green's NBA career is completely calm, and he has never been favored by the team. At first, he was a substitute. After playing for ten years, he is still a substitute. Green has moved to Thunder, Celtics, Bears and Clippers, but he lacks a little luck. Now he's playing for the wizards, and he's starting to shine. 20 18, 1 1, 2 1, in the Wizards' home game against the Clippers, Green played as a substitute, although he only played for 26 minutes.
Fourth place: mike conley. Conley is a lifelong athlete. He has been playing for the Grizzlies since he was selected as the fourth overall pick in 2007. Over the years, he has paid the most precious golden period for the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies also appreciate this player very much and have been offering him a high annual salary contract. Although Conley's fame is far less than that of James, Curry or Duran, he also has his own existence value and never stops emitting his charm. In the recent game between Grizzlies and Pelicans, Conley played for 33 minutes and scored 22 points 10 assists. It is not easy for Conley, who is famous for his defense, to achieve such results. Physical work, I think this is the main reason why the Grizzlies have been reluctant to trade Conley!
Ranked third is al horford, who was selected by the Hawks in the first round in 2007. During his career, he played for the Hawks and the Celtics. In the rookie season, Horford averaged 65,438+00.65,438+0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game, and was successfully selected as the first team of the NBA's best rookie team. In the 65,438+02 season of his career, Horford still maintains the level of the top center in the league. He was selected to the NBA All-Star Team five times. With the rise of the era of small balls, Horford also practiced excellent outside three-pointers. Last season, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 42.9%. 16 season, Horford joined the Green Army and signed a four-year contract of 65438+ 1 100 million US dollars. This summer, he will implement the player option With Horford's strength, the annual salary should be $30 million.
Durant ranked second. He was selected by Thunder in the first round in 2007 and played for Thunder for 9 seasons. Durant didn't see the dawn of the championship. /kloc-In the summer of 0/6, Durant joined the Warriors for $54.3 million for two years. In the first two seasons of Warriors, Durant won two NBA championship trophies and two finals MVP. His career has been 12 seasons. Durant was selected to the NBA All-Star Team for six times, the NBA scoring champion for four times, 1 regular season MVP, 10 NBA All-Star Team. Durant is the highest achiever in the 2007 draft. If we rearrange the rankings, Durant's current strength should rank first.
The first pick is Auden, who was selected by the Blazers in the first round in 2007. Auden was called a prodigy once in 20 years in the draft. He is in excellent physical condition, with a height of 2. 13 meters, a wingspan of 2.24 meters, and a standing touch of 2.84 meters. It takes only 3.27 seconds for the three-quarters sprint. As a big center, Auden's speed is not inferior to that of a defender. Unfortunately. During his five seasons in the Trailblazers, he only played 82 games and joined the Heat with a basic salary of 1 in the offseason of1. He can only contribute 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds 1.2 blocks per game in his career. Auden is a genius destroyed by injury. Judging from his career performance, how many places do you think he should be selected if he is rearranged
