1, little Jordan
Before the 2008 draft, no media would believe that Jordan Jr. would be out in the first round. After all, Jordan Jr. is a top player in the paint, both in athletic ability and physical quality, with strong plasticity.

Fortunately, with his excellent rebounding, defense and cake-eating ability, Jordan Jr. finally became the leading center player in the active league.

When it comes to disappointment in the draft, it is estimated that few people can match Lewis. In the 1998 draft, Lewis was also a member of the little green house, and the Houston team at that time had three first-round signings. Almost everyone thought that Lewis, a native of Houston, would be selected by the Mosaic team with the first round of signings, and even Lewis was still immersed in the joy of playing for his hometown team, but who would have thought? Lewis didn't hear his name until the results of the first draft were announced, and he was not selected by the Sonics until the third pick in the second round. At the SuperSonics, Lewis was not only selected as an All-Star by his own efforts, but also became one of the best space forwards in the league at that time.
3. Arena
In the draft of 5438+0 in 2006, Arenas did not appear in the draft, but learned the news of the draft through TV in a hotel in California. However, after a whole first round, Arenas, who averaged 16.2, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and10/steals, still did not. Seeing that his ranking in the draft was declining, the angry Arenas opened the window, threw all the jewelry he had just bought, such as diamond watches and gold chains, out of the window, then turned off the TV and called his college coach in tears. The coach quickly comforted his lover and said that he was selected by the Warriors in the second round.
4. Rooney
18- 19 season playoff, although the Warriors lost the opportunity to create a dynasty because of injury, they didn't get nothing at all, among which Rooney is undoubtedly the biggest one, but perhaps everyone doesn't know that Rooney is also a member of the small green house in the 20 15 draft, and is considered as a rookie player who will enter the league by drawing lots. Rooney still didn't hear his name, and the frustrated Rooney even made a move to leave the stadium. Fortunately, the Warriors chose this potential insider with the 30th overall pick. With stable play and excellent performance in the playoffs, Rooney not only got the renewal of the Warriors' contract, but also got a stable playing time.
5. Murray
Juvenile Murray can be said to be the best low position Taobao of the Spurs in recent years. But before the 20 16 draft, Murray, who averaged 16. 1 point, 6 rebounds and 4.4 assists in his freshman season, was predicted by many media as one of the candidates for the draft program.

In the second season of the Spurs, Murray became the main point guard of the Spurs and merged into the second lineup of the best defensive lineup in 17- 18 season.
6. Polpol

Five-star high school students? , not only has excellent athletic ability, but also has the ability to project in an open space, which also makes him a member of the little green house in the 20 19 draft.

In the end, Bohr will not be selected by the Nuggets until the 44th overall pick.
7. Dirt
Many people have probably heard of this name every time, because Grims is a draft loser in the 20 19 draft, but even with Bohr, he is the most frustrated player in the 19 draft. As early as 20 18, Grims entered the top ten of the rookie strength list, and many media also predicted that he would become the top ten of the 19 draft. This 18 U 18 America's Cup team leader and MVP winner has excellent physical fitness and various offensive means. Even though he didn't perform well in the last season of NCAA, before the draft, some media still thought that he would be selected in the first round, but the final result was that Grims regretted losing the election.
8. Hotel
Boozer in college, but the inside core of NCAA champion Duke, still contributed 14.9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game in Duke's lineup at that time, and his shooting percentage was as high as 63. 1%.
