Over time, players who used to be omnipotent will grow old. In order to replenish fresh blood, excellent players are usually selected from colleges and universities through draft. But not every year, the contestants in the draft are excellent, just like the fruits we usually plant, and not every year will be a bumper harvest. There are few bumper years in history. For example, 1984, a group of people, is known as the diamond generation, giving birth to talents like Michael Jordan and hakeem olajuwon, and 1996, known as the golden generation, gives birth to superstars like Kobe Bryant and Iverson. Known as the Platinum Generation in 2003, excellent players like James and Anthony were born. There are also very poor draft years, such as 2006.

Why was the 2006 draft the worst? Let's take a look at their number one scholar:

Top scholar: Bagnani. Nani? Who is this? Why have you never heard of his name? In fact, I have never heard of it, but I just turned it out from some materials. In 2006, the Raptors won the player from Italy with the No.1 draft. Perhaps influenced by Nowitzki, NBA teams gradually focused on European players, because Nowitzki just led the Mavericks into the finals, and if their teammates hadn't pitted a little, they would have really won the championship. But not all European players are Nowitzki, he only has one, and this Bagnani is a typical parallel import. His playing style is not tough enough, and his skills are very rough, so he can't get enough in the NBA.

Flower Exploration: adam morrison

Good, this is another name I've never heard before. However, in the draft, the scout boasted that he was "Big Bird" larry bird II. Moreover, this player really plays like Bird, and his hair style and clothes are very similar to those of the 1980s. He is also white, so it can be said that the hardware is matched, but there is no dominance of Bird. He is not bad in the NBA. So far, he has mixed two championship rings, and now he doesn't know where to go.

Fourth place: Thales Thomas.

This player is not bad, his jumping ability is excellent, and he typically plays by his body. His performance in the dunk contest is also remarkable, but his character is weak and he often has no fighting spirit. After the injury, he lost his jumping ability and slowly faded out of people's sight. Now he has left the league.

And is there really no star in 2006? Yes, now aldridge, the star of the Spurs, is the second show in 2006. In addition, Lori of the Raptors was also selected in the first round in 2006. He is also the starting point guard of the Raptors. Only two players selected in the first round are all-stars, and the others are not. Millsap, who is becoming more and more famous now, was also in 2006, but it was a second-round show. He can contribute 14.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in Nuggets, which is also an important part of the team.

In the 2006 draft, there were no other all-star players except these three. Isn't this draft the worst in history?
