The 2008 draft is not a big year, but it is definitely strong. This year, 15 places will be given, and 3 legacy beads will be given as gifts.
Robin Lopez, has played many teams in his career, without the skills of his brother, but is an excellent engineer-type insider. Can defend, have support, and can play back properly. It is a good choice for a team that hoarded the thickness of the inside when they were young.
Mario Chalmers, Janeway defeated Bibby during the Heat period and was firmly established as the starting point guard. He can control and shoot, and the ball-handling core is accompanied by a simple point guard. It's hard to say how many amazing performances can be made, and the victory is that it is not easy to make mistakes.
Courtney Lee, the team's starting No. 2 in the rookie season finals, high-quality 3D, puzzle player, a key lore in the 2009 finals was interfered with by Gasol, if there was no misjudgment at that time, the boy's entire career Life will be different.
official list 15: Michael Beasley, No. 2 real pick, explosive scorer, it is said that he beat Durant in college. Switch back and forth between nba and cba. In the early years, the Heat focused on the 2010 big plan and did not train him well, resulting in the failure to realize his comprehensive talent, and he was not able to do anything other than inefficient scoring. If you choose again, the most important thing is to give him a little trouble in terms of defense and ball awareness.
14 name: JaVale McGee, the real 18th pick, known as Olajuki. A pie-eating insider, he had problems with concentration in the early years of the game, and became a frequent visitor to the five big embarrassments. The Nuggets had high expectations for him in the early years, which magnified people's disappointment with him, but in fact, they can do a good job in the championship team. The Warriors have gradually learned to read games and position judgments in two years, and they have three championships in their career, which is considered a blessing.
13th place in the 2008 draft draft: Leon Anderson, 21st overall pick, counterattacked Yi Jianlian's starting position in his rookie season, then was sent to the Magic, opened up space next to Howard, averaged 16 points per game, and was the most improved player. During the Pelican period, he experienced setbacks in life and regained his strength. Unlike people's impression that the standing Mamba can only make three-pointers, the peak Anderson has a post-up single above the level, but it is banned under D'Antoni's system. Later, the lateral movement speed was too slow, and the cost-effectiveness of the contract was eliminated in the rotation of the Peak Rockets, and then also eliminated by the times.
12 Name: George Hill. The real pick is 26, with a height of 1.88 meters, but has the attributes of a combo guard. The successor of Ginobili trained by the Spurs in the early days, the starting point guard of the Pacers who have been fighting James all the year round. At his peak, he had a performance of 16+5. He was able to support a certain amount of ball possession. He did not grab the show with the ball-handling core. It is a pity that the peak period has passed. Because of his Spurs label, he gives people the impression of being "reasonable" and "stable" all the year round. However, the risk is actually extremely high. He took the lead in causing trouble during the rematch in the park. After his athletic ability declined, his off-ball ability even deteriorated. Such players, Free market signing is more cost-effective than long-term training, which is why the Spurs decisively traded Leonard after being hacked in 11 years.
11th place: Nicolas Batum, No. 25 real pick, French Pippen, because of the characteristics of both offense and defense in his rookie year, he overwhelmed Fernandez, Outlaw, and Webster, and settled down in a harsh competitive environment. Those who start. After the core reconstruction of Roy and Lillard's two generations of pioneers, the Hornets had high hopes and received a maximum salary, but they failed to fulfill their combat effectiveness. In his later years, he found himself in the Clippers and became the corner king in the hands of Tyronn Lue, and also an important part of the Clippers' five-forward system. With outstanding height and excellent passing awareness, he was once hoped to become the center axis of the Clippers' triangle offense. After the failure, he still contributed everything he could do. This kind of player is selected early and discovered early. Don't waste the years and let his talent disappear.
2008 draft re-ranking No. 10: Danilo Gallinari, real pick 6, tall striker with 2.08 meters, faster than power forwards, taller than small forwards, soft shooting touch, good at drawing fouls, amazing efficiency high. If the Knicks forcibly traded Anthony ruined a group of people, then Gallinari is definitely one of them. This type of player was originally able to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses in D'Antoni's system. Unfortunately, in his wandering career, he no longer had the opportunity to obtain such a high tactical status.
The two best periods of his career, one was with Paul when he briefly played for the Thunder, and the other was when he assisted Trey Young in the Hawks in the last two years. But because of his advanced age, he was finally eliminated in the competition of the Eagles' striker group. He wanted to play his spare time in the Celtics, but he was reimbursed for the season, which is embarrassing.
No. 9: Goran Dragic: The real pick is 45, the most improved player in 2014, three teams in the same year, All-Star in 18, European Cup mvp. In the second year of his NBA career, when the Suns swept the Spurs in the playoffs, he made repeated achievements. How George Hill bullied Kidd in the first round, and Dragic taught Parker how to behave in the second round. It's a pity that the Suns fell apart in the same year, and Dragic was also sent to the Rockets. He was once involved in the suspended transaction of Paul to the Lakers. Then he counterattacked Lowry and became the starting point guard, but he was not in the future plan of the Rockets. He signed directly in the summer back to the sun. When they reached the peak, they were dragged down by the Sun's wonderful three-guard lineup. In the end, the Suns gave up Thomas Jr., who was the most powerful, and Dragic, who was the most powerful, at the same time, and chose to keep Bledsoe, who was the most talented. He found his home during the Heat period and became the spiritual leader of the team in the post-Wade period until the arrival of Butler. In the Rockets, Suns and Heat, they all had the experience of ninth and tenth in the East and West, and missed the playoffs, so they were once nicknamed "Ah Jiu". In the twilight of his career, unable to integrate into Durant's Nets, and unwilling to be the third point guard of the Lone Ranger, he is now playing his spare time in the Bulls. His career, from the battle with Lowry to the battle with Bledsoe, runs through the topic of the team's choice between "talent" and "system".
No. 8: Eric Gordon, 7th real pick, the best sixth man in 2017. In the early years, he had 22+4 data in the Clippers, which became the most important bargaining chip for the Clippers in exchange for Paul. Unwilling to play for New Orleans, after accepting the Suns contract, he was forcibly matched by the Hornets. Although it proved that the twisted melon was not sweet, it also proved that the rookie contract expired, and it is not up to him to decide where he wants to go. The glass man attribute of the Pelicans allowed the team to successively find competitors such as Evans and Holiday. The core of the team's team building is also the thick eyebrows inside, a type that needs an outside playmaker to create offensive opportunities, which is inconsistent with Gordon. The best years were wasted in the most unsuitable place for me, and I finally found my own position after coming to the Rockets. From a low-volume scorer to a super sixth man, from a defensive colander to the best switch guard, in the future, there is no certainty between growing up with young Rockets and going to a strong team to compete for the championship. . The draft rearrangement put him higher because his early injury was purely accidental, but his talent display before the injury was quite amazing, and he was placed eighth because he believed in a suitable environment, and he could even be used as a core training.
2008 draft re-arrangement No. 7: Roy Hibbert, 17th real pick. Two All-Stars and one second defense, he was given the nickname Gao Yuanyuan. At his peak, he was the No. 1 center in the Eastern Conference, nicknamed Black Yao Ming, but his real strength is far from reaching such a height of evaluation. During the time when the Heat transformed into a small ball to rule the league, Hibbert was in a strong team and got a bonus. The iron tower gate of the Pacers Vogel's defensive system has a certain ability to score inside, and the choice of positions is also considered smart. It is almost an era when the center is dying. It can do everything a strong center should do. Rare power. But after the rules were changed, he couldn't adapt immediately, and the speed of fading out of the NBA was unimaginable. Ranked No. 7 in the draft, he almost used his talents in the first six years to make a wave. After the league revised the vertical jumping rules, he could almost give up his existence.
No. 6: DeAndre Jordan, real pick 35. Two times, one defense, two times and three teams, the most famous is that he once had one team, but Embiid did not. Perhaps the current state of Uncle Huang has made people forget what level of player he was in the league as the two-time rebounding champion. He really couldn't hold the top position for a while, but he is not as good as people demonize him now. Long before Paul came, it was not easy for Jordan to play alongside star centers such as Kaman and Camby. Paul allowed him to gain a foothold in the league with the characteristics of a pie-eating center, which can be said to be mutual achievements. In the Clippers that have been unable to make it to the Western Conference Finals all year round, Jordan has done his essential work conscientiously. After reaching a verbal agreement with the Mavericks, he backed out, and the Mavericks were still willing to have him after the Clippers disintegrated, which shows that this person still has his selling points in the league. In the Nets, the two big brothers squeezed out Jarrett Allen and Coach Atkinson in order to support him. In the Lakers, they grabbed Howard's starter. In the 76ers, they were obviously useless but could replace the injured Embiid. Now Howard and Cousins couldn't find a job in the season. People are wondering why Jordan can still sign a contract with the Nuggets. The side also reflects that in the world, after all, it is still necessary to talk about the ways of the world, the glue in the locker room, and the work of communication bridges between coaches and players. These things that fans do not pay attention to, in thisAlliances are very important. The rearrangement of the draft, whether it is the immediate combat power at the peak or the hidden contribution in the later part of his career, allows Jordan to firmly control the sixth overall pick.
No. 5: Brook Lopez, real pick 10. 13 All-Star, 20 years of second defense. He showed his core potential when he debuted, which allowed the team to decisively send Carter away for reconstruction. In the Nets for many years, he has been at the level of 20+7 all year round, and he has practiced a three-pointer in 17 years. It's a pity that he didn't have this skill in 2014, which made the star-studded star lineup extremely bloated. What's embarrassing is that he was reimbursed for the season after playing five games, which instead allowed the team to get out of the quagmire. The Lakers played above the standard, but for some reason, they didn't keep him when the team ushered in James. Now the Bucks are defending one pillar in the interior and opening up the space on the offensive end. If they are next to James and thick eyebrows, it is very worth imagining. Because of his existence, Budenholzer has insisted on a retreat-type defensive strategy for many years, making the Bucks the team that allows opponents to shoot the most three-pointers and hits the most. Annual champion. This season, the 34-year-old Daluo is still evolving, increasing the frequency of outside three-point defense and improving the efficiency of his inner frame protection, thus occupying a place in the dpoy competition. Just because he has improved himself many times in his career, in order to adapt to the professional attitude of the times, he deserves a No. 5 pick.
Ibaka is long and O'Neal is wide. O'Neal's current width is full of fat, while Ibaka's length is solid defensive coverage. The 4th place in the 2008 draft re-ranking: Serge Ibaka, the real pick is 24th, three times one defense and two blocked shots. In the early years, none of the Thunder's three young men had his name, but he was always the third to fourth most important person in the Thunder. It is not easy to be with the Thunder's three young players and maintain a score of 14 to 5 points for many years. The third youngest Mr. 1,000 blocks has a triple-double data of 11 blocks in a single game, and he played 12 of 12 shots. However, everything changed because he played closed games before the Western Conference Finals in 2014. Although we can understand that in the year when the Thunder had the most opportunity, when the victory was so close, Ibaka made great contributions to the team and his brothers. The decision made that round of the series to a certain extent created suspense out of thin air, but the price paid was a permanent decline in athletic ability, and even after winning the championship in 19 years, he was completely reduced to a marginal figure in the nba. After a serious injury, Ibaka practiced a one-handed three-pointer, which also gave birth to the term 3D power forward in the NBA. After all, no one had a defense like him among the previous inside shooters. Ibaka's single defense was overestimated before the small ball wave came, but he did not have this problem in the small ball era. The draft is rearranged, as long as he is strictly prohibited from making a closed choice at that point in time, it is not a big problem to choose him with the fourth overall pick.
No. 3: Kevin Love, the real pick is 5. Two second teams, five All-Stars, but high-level statistics show that he was indeed the best power forward in the league. Love in the Timberwolves period was really crazy. He scored 30+20 four times in a single season, double-doubled in 53 consecutive games, three-pointers with first-class production efficiency in the league, post-up offensive efficiency above the standard, and the high-level support awareness cultivated by Adelman. , If it weren't for the perennial inability to make the playoffs in the tough Western Conference, it should have been rated higher.
joined the Cavaliers, which was originally expected. At that time, Love should actually be the second best player after James. Under the command of European coach David Blatt, he should have played his own high IQ insider characteristics. However, Irving's growth and the team's emphasis on playing fast made Love feel embarrassed, especially in high-end games, when the offense couldn't play its role, and the defensive problem was infinitely magnified. After Irving left the Cavaliers, the 18-year-old Love became the only support for James, but the disparity in the finals lineup still made Love unable to catch up.
Now we think back, in the summer of 2014, was Love really willing to go to the Cavaliers, or was he wrong in his judgment of the compatibility between himself and James? There is no way to ask these questions. After all, after James left, the 30-year-old Love has lost the blood of Fang Gang who led the team alone, and entered the state of dawdling with money to work early. Therefore, in the draft rearrangement, Love, who has better comprehensive talents, can only be ranked third. Compared with those two talented guards, Love, a power forward, has been smoothed out, which is still embarrassing.
gives you another chance, what choice will you make between Rose and Westbrook?
2008 draft re-ranked second, Derrick Rose, real No. 1 pick, 3 All-Stars, 11 years of MVP plusfor a while. It is reiterated here that the rearrangement of the draft never depends on the player's honor and historical status. Even if Westbrook has brought so many exaggerated records in the follow-up, I still think Rose is the better player, but there is no way, his injury, Instead of blaming Thibodeau for being too ruthless, it is better to say that this style of play will cause an inevitable tragedy. And looking at Rose's injury, and before leaving the Bulls, he refused to change his style of play time and time again in order to maintain confidence, and fell down again and again in a short period of time. Telling him of the tragedy he might encounter could not shake his merciless insistence on his knees. The blooming of roses seems destined to be bright and short-lived, and we can only sigh: "Looking up at the end of the year, glory is hard to hold on for long."
When we saw him score 50+ in a single game in the Timberwolves and insist on his dream in the Knicks Change, if the years can be restarted, can we really have the heart to give even a little bit of advice to the blooming of roses? So, let him open up, let him engrave that beauty in the long river of history forever, let him talk about that shock, and freeze it in the memories of those who love him. The rearrangement of the draft puts you in second place, but the splendor of the Windy City Rose will always be the only one in history.
2008 draft re-ranked No. 1, no problem, Russell Westbrook, real pick 4. 17 years mvp, two first teams, five second teams, two third teams, 9 All-Stars, scoring twice Wang, who averaged a triple-double in four seasons, is the historical triple-double king. Regardless of whether Westbrook's style of play is in line with your aesthetics, there is no denying his indelible achievements in the long history of the NBA. Regarding Westbrook's controversy, it is never possible to escape whether the triple-double is positive for victory. Although we can use Westbrook's triple-double game to explain it forcibly with a higher winning percentage, but too much deliberate pursuit of decimal data, sometimes It is indeed difficult for people to be truly moved by the essence of the game. We can't deny Westbrook's ability, and I even think that giving up some obsessive-compulsive triple-double games will not affect Westbrook's result in becoming the total triple-double king in history, and games are often incomplete beauty. The demons that arise on the dual path are also the epitome of his career in a sense. In many cases, James, Doncic, Jokic, and even Harden, who are also the ball-handling core at the mvp level, always have various quasi-triple-double data that force si obsessive-compulsive disorder, such as missing a rebound, missing an assist, etc. Yes, but it is rare to see them make up for it deliberately. When your strength reaches that level, the panel data will naturally be gorgeous enough, and the gorgeous data should be what it is, and some unnecessary demands will become too much.
is simple and direct, which is Westbrook's pursuit of the game and his pursuit of life, but because of this, in the twilight of his career, he seems out of tune with this era. So if everything can be done again, for a player like Westbrook, if he is selected as the No. 1 pick, how should he be trained? A lot of instilling the concept of the impact of star off-ball skills on the game? Reduce his already easily inflated source of self-confidence? Or in the rookie period, add more demanding training requirements in terms of basic shooting skills? They all seemed out of tune with his life. Then let him go, let him contribute the most exciting performances for us in the past few years. It would be better if the results can make a breakthrough. When you have the opportunity to choose him, even if you don't have the confidence to succeed around him, you shouldn't pass him up.
