Whose draft templates are Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and qi zhou?

With the end of the draft, each team has more or less ushered in some new generation of strength, and these fresh blood will also carry the future of the league. In fact, in the annual draft, the players that people pay attention to will be compared with famous stars by fans to see which stars they have and give players' templates. On the one hand, this comparison satisfies the psychological needs of fans, which can indirectly explain the growth limit of this player, on the other hand, it also gives a direction for the development of the player.

Then, let's take a look at who are the templates of several China players in the NBA draft, and what are their growth trajectories.

Yao Ming draft template: Rick schmitz.

Before landing in the NBA, Yao Ming had attracted much attention, and he even won the first place in the draft, making a sensation all over the world. At that time, before the draft, the template for Yao Ming was Rick schmitz.

Rick schmitz, who is 2.24 meters tall, is the second person in the 1988 draft, and he is also outstanding in the center position. During his twelve seasons in the NBA, he averaged 14.8 points, 6. 1 rebounds and 1.4 assists. However, Yao Ming has completely surpassed rik smits through his performance in the NBA, but Yao Ming's career may not be long enough, and he announced his retirement after only eight seasons.

Yi Jianlian Draft Template: Bosh and Garnett

After Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian also embarked on the journey of NBA. Yi Jianlian, with excellent physical fitness, was widely regarded before entering the NBA. At that time, the template that the media gave Yi Jianlian was even? Wolf king? Garnett and? Dragon king? Bosh, the two top players in the league, showed that Yi Jianlian was very optimistic at that time.

However, Yi Jianlian's trip to the NBA was not smooth, and he was far from reaching the heights of Garnett and Bosh. He played 272 games in the NBA, averaging 7.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists, and finally chose to leave because of injury.

Wang Draft Template: Tony kukoc.

As the first player in China who can play in the NBA, Wang's appearance has greatly improved the popularity of the NBA in China. He was selected by the lone ranger in the seventh overall pick in the second round. His template is Tony Kucock from Croatia. Kukoc won three consecutive championships with the Bulls, but Wang's performance failed to reach the height of kukoc.

Qi zhou Draft Template: loren woods

Although qi zhou was a hot star in China at that time, his NBA trip was very bumpy. He only played 19 games, and the template given by the media at that time was loren woods. Both of them are the same height, and neither of them can prove themselves in the NBA. Woods spent his last season with the Rockets.
