After the success of 1996 and 1997, the 1998 draft continued to export outstanding players, and many international players began to appear in this draft. Nowitzki, Pierce, Carter and other stars are all from this draft.
First place in the first round: Michael Olavokandi.
Although he is not the first "parallel champion" in NBA history, the rise of the word "parallel champion" is largely due to him. Olavokandi's career in NBA is basically a blue-collar player, with a season-high average of only 12+9, which may be his upper limit.
Second overall pick in the first round: mike bibby.
Bibby, nicknamed "White Devil", has never won any outstanding personal honor in his career. The only thing he can do is to be selected as the best rookie team. Nevertheless, Bibby is still an excellent point guard. He didn't hesitate to attack and passed the ball easily. As long as he is on the team, he must be the most stable puzzle.
Fourth overall in the first round: antawn jamison.
He was elected to the All-Star team twice in his career and the best sixth man once. Jamison is a typical striker, especially in offense. Diversified offensive means make defenders very headache. During the wizard period, the trident composed of Arenas and Butler was once famous.
Fifth overall pick in the first round: vincent carter.
Carter, nicknamed "demigod /UFO", is one of the most famous dunkers in NBA history. His appearance directly improved the dunk technique by several grades. Not only that, he is also one of the famous "four quarterbacks", but it is precisely because of the existence of the other three that Carter's personal honor is minimal.
Carter was elected as the best rookie, dunked 65,438+0 times, was elected as the best team twice (one for the second and third teams), and was selected as an All-Star team eight times in his career. Compared with the other three quarterbacks, Carter's performance is somewhat inferior, but he is still a great player, and it is only a matter of time before he is selected into the Hall of Fame.
Seventh place in the first round: jayson williams.
Nicknames "White Chocolate" and "One holds the ball and nine people are nervous" are all about him. Jayson williams's passing combines some movements of streetball with his own characteristics, which makes his passing very creative. Although he is not the best passer in the NBA, he is definitely one of the most enjoyable players.
Jayson williams didn't have any outstanding honors in his career. The rookie season was only selected as the best rookie team for a period of time. In 2006, he won a championship ring with the Heat.
Eighth overall pick in the first round: Larry Hughes.
James, an early teammate, won a steal in his career and was selected as the best defensive team for some time, with good offensive and defensive skills.
Ninth overall pick in the first round: dirk nowitzki.
Nicknamed "Ramstein", 20 1 1 won the championship and won it directly.
Nowitzki won an MVP, a championship and was elected as FMVP, 14 all-star team, a three-point champion and 12 best team (including the second and third teams). Nowitzki should be the most successful player in the 98 draft in honor. Not only that, Nowitzki is also very influential in the international basketball world. The lone ranger also retired his jersey number 4 1 and erected a statue for him.
10th overall pick in the first round: paul pierce.
Nicknamed "Truth", Celtic meritorious player. Pierce won a championship in his career and was elected as FMVP, 10 all-star team, 4-time all-star team (2-3 teams) and 1 3-point king. As a player, Pierce really shows the team spirit of the Celtics and is the team soul of the Celtics. 202 1 officially elected to the naismith Hall of Fame.
Round 1 2 1: ricky davis.
I once thought that James was the person who came to help him, and he was also the creator of the famous forged "triple doubles". He can score 20+ at the peak of his career, with a certain level of attack but unstable, and an average defense, and no one cares about him in his later career.
23rd overall pick in the first round: Tyrone Lu.
Compared with the famous coach Lu now, Tyrone Lu was just an ordinary role player in the player era. Iverson's "crotch humiliation" made him famous in one fell swoop. He won two championships with the team during the Lakers period, and his career has been transferred to many teams, which confirms the truth that role players are famous and handsome.
25th overall pick in the first round: al harrington.
In the 2006-07 season, one of the main players of the Warriors' "Black Eight Miracles" scored 20+6 at the peak of his career, with outstanding offensive ability. If he is the right demand in the era of small ball.
32nd pick in the second round: Rashard Lewis.
Early in his career, he was famous for his collaboration with ray allen's Supersonic Gemini. Later, he joined Magic with a contract of 100 million yuan, which shocked the league at that time. In 2009, he helped Magic reach the finals and was selected to the All-Star team twice in his career. Lewis is a typical projective striker, averaging 20+ per game at the peak of his career, but he is weak in attack and has no ability to attack independently. At the end of his career, he won a championship ring in the Heat.
39th overall pick in the second round: Rafer Alston.
Nicknamed "Streetball King", compared with Alston's popularity in the streetball world, Alston is just an ordinary rotation player in the NBA, averaging 14+6 per game at its peak, because the relationship between the Rockets has attracted wide attention from domestic fans.
Round 2 4 1: Cuttino Mobley.
Nicknamed "Old Cat", it is also widely concerned by domestic fans because of the Rockets. Unlike Alston, Mobry is the main force of the team and has outstanding offensive ability. At the peak of his career, he averaged 20+ per game, and the defensive end was not too bad. Unfortunately, he retired early because of heart problems.
1998 draft, the birth of 1 Hall of Fame (up to now), 1 MVP, 2 FMVP, 3 selected for the All-Star Team, 5 selected for the All-Star Team, generally speaking, it is not bad.
