Cameron Johnson-The Sun
The Timberwolves chose Cameron Johnson in the order of 1 1, which is considered to be the biggest upset in the 19 draft. You know, Johnson was only 23 years old when he took part in the draft, even older than some rookies in 16 and 17, and his athletic ability was extremely poor and his potential was very mediocre. In the prediction before the start of the draft, even in the second round, I didn't expect that Johnson, who was selected and traded directly to the Suns, had become one of the main rotation players of the team. His average playing time of 20.3 minutes per game can contribute 8. 1 minute, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 39.7%, which shows his potential to become a top shooter.
PJ Washington wasp
If Reid, one of the three young players in Duke University, is the most disappointing player in all lottery programs, then PJ Washington of 12 is the most surprising player. Washington's power forward, only 2 meters tall, performed very ordinary in college. Before the draft, it was considered that it was difficult to survive in the NBA where opponents were taller and more athletic, and the predicted draft pick was only in the middle and late stage of the first round. However, this time, Joe's boss was not mistaken. After entering the NBA, Washington has been firmly in the position of the Hornets' starting power forward, averaging 12.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2. 1 assists, shooting 37.4% from three points, attacking from a low position, catching three points, breaking through with the ball, cutting without the ball, and high-level organization and coordination ability, which is quite good for the small ball era. If we can improve our physical fitness and confrontation ability, increase the certainty on the offensive end and make continuous progress on the defensive end, Washington in the future may become a very excellent all-around power forward.
Taylor Shiloh-Hitt
In recent seasons, it may be a good choice to choose a shooting guard with 13 draft pick. As the No.1 13 pick of 19, Taylor Shiloh's rookie season performance is not as good as his predecessors Mitchell and Booker, but he has become the main rotation player of the Heat and one of the best three-point shooters on the outside. He can hit 2. 1 3-pointers with a 3-pointer shooting rate of 39. 1% per game, especially in the range of 45 degrees on both sides of the 3-pointer line and the bottom angle. Hiro's 3-pointer shooting rate exceeds 40%. In terms of talent and potential, Hiro may not be Kobe's next successor, but he is likely to become the top shooter in the league like Lei Dike, even better than Lei Dike.
Brandon Clark-Grizzly Bear
If anyone has said that the biggest surprise in the first round of 19 was Brandon Clark, the overall pick of 2 1. As a striker with a height of 2.03 meters, Brandon Clark's performance can be described in two words: amazing. Although his attack means is single, and he creates scoring opportunities by empty cutting and reverse running, his shooting percentage in the basket is as high as 68.2%, ranking third this season, which is the most surprising. His three-point shooting ability has gradually emerged. Although he can only hit 0.4 three-pointers per game, his hit rate has reached 40.4%, which is very efficient. On the defensive end, Clark's innate condition is not excellent, with a wingspan of only 2.04 meters, but his excellent athletic ability is enough to make up for the defects in wingspan and height. Moreover, Clark, who was a defense expert in college, had impeccable defensive attitude and enthusiasm in the game. It is no exaggeration to say that Clark tries his best to limit his opponent's score in almost every game. If Clark can continue to improve his outside shooting ability, Grizzlies will undoubtedly get a top role player, although he may not be an all-star player at the age of 24.
Kevin Porter Knight Jr.
Although the Cavaliers selected defender Garland in the fifth overall pick in the first round, Kevin Porter Jr., the No.30 in the first round, may be their biggest gain in the 19 draft. As a guard with a height of1.93m, Porter can contribute 10 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season, and his shooting percentage is 44.2%. This is a good performance for a rookie defender with the ball, and in some games, Porter also showed good foul-making ability. In fact, judging from Potter's talent and potential, if he hadn't missed many games because of injury during his college years, he could have been selected in a higher ranking, but at present, Potter still needs to strengthen his defense and control mistakes. After all, Potter's performance in these two aspects is very poor this season, although it has increased.
Cody Martin-Bumblebee
Another player selected by Joe's boss, as the No.6 show in the first round, Cody Martin has now become one of the main rotation players of the Hornets. Especially in 1 1 game before suspension, Martin1game played for more than 20 minutes, and played for more than 30 minutes in four games, although Cody Martin scored against the Hornets at present. But his defense and coping ability are not enough for him to get stable playing time in the Hornets. In this season 18.8 minutes, Martin can contribute 2 assists and 0.8 steals. If he can improve his three-point shooting rate and stability, maybe Martin will become an excellent 3D player, just like Jazz's O 'Neal.
Daniel Gafford Bull
Don't be surprised if Gafford becomes a new generation of cake eaters in the league next season, because he has such conditions. As a center player with a height of 2.08 meters, Gafford has excellent athletic ability, mobility and flexibility among players in the same position. As far as physical fitness is concerned, it is enough to make him an excellent expert in defense and cake eating, which is one reason why people like to compare him with cappella, the cake king, before the draft. Compared with Carter, Gafford is not as good as Carter in basic skills and confrontation, but Gafford is more suitable for the current fast-playing style, can keep up with the defender's fast-breaking speed, and has stronger blocking ability. He has averaged 14 minutes per game this season. Gafford can contribute 1.3 blocked shots, but if Gafford wants to be the team starter, he needs to improve his confrontation and defense. After all, at present, Gafford is still a little too thin.
Pascal warrior
Don't be surprised if the Warriors choose to trade Dreamcatcher Green in the offseason, because in the 19 draft, the Warriors may have found a player who can replace Green. He is Pascal 1 1 in the second round. As a power forward with a height of only 1.98, Pascal is called 65438+. He can contribute 14 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2. 1 assists per game this season. The performance of the offensive end is even better and more efficient than that of Green, and it also shows the potential to be an organized striker. Although Pascal can't compare with Green in defense and rebounding at present, the Warriors can cultivate the first dream-chasing Green. Why can't he cultivate a Pascal who pursues dreams?
