Which players are you most impressed by among the 1998 NBA rookies?

In the 1998 draft, the shooting outsiders represented by Nowitzki showed their talents. Jamison, Lewis and Al Harrington were all scoring masters, and Carter's dunk And White Chocolate's pass also left fans mesmerized.

Career scoring leader: Nowitzki. Career rebounding leader: Nowitzki. Career assists leader: Mike Bibby

The top five All-Stars in the 1997 class: Nowitzki, Pierce, Carter, Lewis, Jamison.

Parallel imports of the year: Olawokandi (Clippers, No. 1 pick), Traylor (Bucks, sixth pick)

Second-round pick: Rashad- Lewis (32nd overall), Cuttino Mobley (41st overall)

Review No. 1 pick (Los Angeles Clippers): Nowitzki (actual pick: 9th) Pick)

In 1998, the thin German youth grew up into a towering tree in the NBA. In the summer of 2011, he led the Mavericks to defeat the Heat's Big Three and successfully won the championship. This tree The big tree finally bore abundant fruits. He was selected to the NBA All-NBA Team for 12 consecutive seasons and was selected to the NBA All-Star Game 13 times. He left behind a series of "Golden Rooster Independent" moves that would be difficult for those who came after him.

Actual selection: Michael Olawokandi

Before the draft, Olawokandi was considered to be the next Olajuwon, although his performance in the Italian league was His poor performance has almost been revealed, but the Clippers are still optimistic about his 22-11 statistics in his last year of college and the so-called "potential" he brings not long after he started learning to play basketball... Throughout his career, the best Olawokandi can do is Considered a qualified inside human shield.

Review No. 2 (Vancouver Grizzlies): Paul Pierce (actual pick: No. 10)

He was discharged from the hospital three days after being stabbed 11 times and did not miss a single game. Regular season - this is Pierce full of toughness and character. He still vividly remembers his 50 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists on LeBron, and at the age of 38 last season, he was still able to get everything he wanted from the Raptors. Will Pierce really age? Perhaps the story will continue as it did with Duncan.

Actual choice: Mike Bibby averaged 17 points, 5.4 assists, and 2.7 steals in his final year of college, with a shooting percentage of 46.4. He was both offensive and defensive. In his second season with the Grizzlies, his His average assists per game once ranked among the top two in the league. (PS: Since Bibby, the Grizzlies have been ranked second in the lottery for three consecutive years...)

Review of the top pick (Denver Nuggets): Vince Carter (actual pick: No. 5th pick)

If you only count the number of fans or dunks, Carter will undoubtedly be the first in this class. The glory of the dunk contest may have overshadowed the scorer's dignity. In fact, Carter averaged 27.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in his peak period, and the shot of him and Iverson going 50 is still one of the NBA classics.

Actual choice: Liver-LaFrentz

LaFrentz and Pierce were known as the Kansas duo at the time. He had excellent height and a good long-range shot. , and first-class shot-blocking ability, this is also the capital for him to squeeze into the top three picks. In his final year of college, he averaged 19.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 54.

Review of the 4th pick (Toronto Raptors): Antoine Jamison (actual pick: 4th pick)

Jamieson may be the most low-key player in the NBA Mr. 20,000 points. The 50-point game between him and Kobe Bryant early in his career was the highlight of his career. However, it is a pity that Jamison is slightly lacking in team honors. He has never made it to the conference finals in his career.

Actual choice: Antoine Jamison

The Raptors' selection of Jamison was the same idea as the Bucks' selection of Marbury in 1996. After that, the Warriors had to use Carter to make a deal. Cash was exchanged from the Raptors for Jamison. In college, Jamison played from center to small forward. He was technically proficient and proficient in scoring skills in all positions from the inside to the outside. In his last year, he averaged 22.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. Rate 57.9

Review No. 5 pick (Golden State Warriors): Rashard Lewis (actual pick: No. 32 overall in the second round)

Who has blocked it? LeBron James’ path to dominance with the Cavaliers? Although Duncan and the Celtics' Big Three are LeBron's mortal enemies, Lewis, the billionaire man, also left LeBron helpless in the 2008-09 season. Lewis is world-famous for his deadly three-pointers, reaching his peak in the 2008-09 season. His career-high 22.4 points and two All-Star selections keep him firmly in fifth place -- of course, that's despite his $100 million contract.

Actual choice: Vince Carter

North Carolina Flyer Carter did not reach the top three due to his high popularity. In addition to the team's previous low demand for forwards, his own offense Young skills and unstable defense were also the main reasons. In his last year of college, Carter averaged 15.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 59.6. At that time, his position on the team was more like Jamison's deputy.

Review of the 6th pick (Dallas Mavericks): Mike Bibby (actual pick: second)

Bibby is fully worthy of the title of White Devil. For the Kings, he is the team's key player. In the seven deadly games with the Lakers in the 2001-02 season, Bibby averaged more than 20 points per game. It's a pity that he entered a period of decline after leaving the Kings, and ultimately left the regret of never becoming an All-Star.

Actual choice: Robert Traylor

Traylor is nicknamed the Big Tractor. He is a stocky insider with a height of 2.03 meters. He averaged 16.2 points and 10.2 points per game in his final year of college. Backboard, plus a smashed backboard.

Review of the 7th pick (Sacramento Kings): Larry Hughes (actual pick: 8th pick)

Larry Hughes proved it with his career As long as you don't place high hopes on him, he can definitely play like an All-Star. He averaged 22 points per game in both the Warriors and Wizards seasons; but when he joined the Cavaliers with a five-year, 60 million contract, When he became LeBron's assistant, his performance declined rapidly, and he couldn't even hit the ball. This is the tragedy of Hughes and the tragedy of LeBron.

Actual selection: Jason Williams

Williams' pre-draft prospects were once on par or even higher than Bibby's, but then the media revealed that he smoked marijuana. News caused its ranking to drop all the way. In his final year of college, he averaged 17.1 points, 6.7 assists, and 2.7 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 44.1.

Review of the 8th pick (Philadelphia 76ers): Al Harrington (actual pick: 15th)

Another No. 4 who is good at shooting Players, this is the most unique thing about the 1998 class - everyone can shoot. Harrington's career reached its peak with the Knicks and Warriors, and during his peak period, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 45.8, which is no less diverse than Nowitzki. However, although Al Harrington had the ability to score, he lacked athletic talent, and ultimately had to play in the CBA at the end of his career.

Actual choice: Larry Hughes

Hughes only attended college for one year and averaged 20.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 41.5. , before the draft, he was considered a taller version of Iverson, but as a result, he was selected by the 76ers to be Iverson's bodyguard...

Rearranged with the 9th pick (Milwaukee Bucks) : Jason Williams (actual pick: No. 7)

In the history of the NBA, there may be 10 Bibbys, but there is only one Jason Williams. .

White Chocolate used his own hands to prove the magnificence of the NBA, with elbow passes, continuous fake backhand dribbling, magical alley-oops spanning half the court... A game with White Chocolate will never be lonely. Although he only averaged 10.5 points and 5.9 assists per game, who would pay attention to these details when this person is white chocolate?

Actual selection: Dirk Nowitzki

The Celtics have long been interested in Nowitzki and promised to select him with the 10th overall pick, but They were worried about Nelson and the Mavericks, so they were relieved when the Mavericks selected Traylor with the sixth overall pick. But I never expected that the reason why the Mavericks selected Traylor was because the Bucks with the ninth pick were interested in Traylor, so after the draft was completed, the Mavericks and the Bucks immediately made an exchange, and the Mavericks got Nowitz. Key also got one more shooter Garrity. The Celtics were on the verge of tears.

Review of the 10th pick (Boston Celtics): Cuttino Mobley (actual pick: 41st overall in the second round)

For For Lao Mao, his scoring talent is by no means inferior to the above-mentioned players, but he is too low-key and stable and did not cause any waves. Except for 9.9 points in his rookie season, his lowest scoring average in all seasons of his career has been more than 12.8 points. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with a heart disease and stayed away from the game. In a recent Drew League appearance, only the 39-year-old Cat looked 59 years old, which is lamentable.

Actual choice: Paul Pierce

In his last year at college, Pierce averaged 20.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 51.6. He was originally regarded as a top-three pick. , so when the Celtics management recovered from the grief of losing Nowitzki, they could hardly believe that they could still select Pierce... So this Lakers fan who grew up in California started like this started his Celtics career.

Other players worthy of attention: Bonzi Wells (No. 11 overall, Detroit Pistons)

The Pistons originally had high hopes for Wells, but Wells He was traded to the Trail Blazers without playing a single game due to off-court issues. After that, he was always in trouble for every team he joined. In the 2007 playoffs, he defeated the Spurs and later turned down a five-year, $35 million extension from the Kings. made an appointment, but the result was that he fell from the peak and failed to recover...

Richie Davis (21st overall, Charlotte Hornets)

Shoot his own basket to get a triple-double. The two jokes about being the little emperor and the boss made Davis become synonymous with jokes, but to be honest, Davis played very hard for the Cavaliers in the 2001-02 season, and after switching to the Celtics in the future, he became even more Pierce's right-hand man, as for the final career trajectory becoming like this...it can only be bad luck.

Tyrone Lue (23rd overall, Denver Nuggets)

In terms of statistics, Lue’s career was not successful, but the 2001 Finals is remembered by the whole world. This counterattacker has the same shape as the AI.

Rav Alston (39th overall pick, Milwaukee Bucks)

To this day, Alston is still the representative of North American streetball who has achieved the highest achievements in the NBA. He is also the one who feeds Yao Ming the ball the most among all the point guards that Yao Ming has worked with.
