Chapter 521: Second Round Pick and Role Players

We all know that the draft is an NBA tradition and the best way to inject new blood.

In the draft, the more talented players are generally selected in the first round, and the relative ability in the second round is relatively poor, but some powerful characters come out of the second round.5.Dream chasing Green, as an atypical interior big man, Green was not favored in the 2012 NBA draft, and it was not until the 35th pick in the first round that Green was included in the Warriors.

It's the Splash Brothers' team, but this second-round pick is becoming more and more indispensable to this Warriors team.

Until he also became a giant in the mouths of fans. As a strong contender for DPOY this season, his defense can fit into 5 positions with few dead spots.

And in the offensive, his role is irreplaceable. 4. DeAndre Jordan, the 35th pick in the second round in 2008, Jordan Jr. who just entered the league was a rough man (although he still is), but after Paul came, he made Jordan Jr. a pillar of the Clippers' interior line and became one of the Big Three.

Jordan Jr. played to his strengths, physical condition and explosiveness were his strengths, and he built himself into a defensive stalwart, making the Clippers an empty city.

He was the league's rebounding champion in '14 and '15, was named to the league's All-Star team and All-Defensive team in '16, and was named an All-Star for the first time in '17.

3. Isaiah Thomas Jr., the 60th pick in the second round in 2011, Thomas Jr. took the last train of the NBA in 2011, no one was optimistic about him at that time, the last round pick, 175 height, was destined not to survive in the NBA, but to this day, Thomas Jr.'s performance slapped those people in the face, which can be called the strongest counterattack.

In his rookie season, he was selected to the second team of the best rookie, and Thomas Jr., who came to Boston, broke out completely, was selected as an All-Star in the fifth year of his career, becoming the second-shortest All-Star in NBA history, and in the 16-17 season, Thomas Jr. continued to show his scoring ability, kept breaking the team history record, was selected as an All-Star again, and led the Celtics to win the first place in the East.

2. Marc Gasol, the 48th pick in the second round in 2007, was selected to the Rookie Challenge and the Rookie of the Year Second Team in his first year, and led the Grizzlies to the 10-11 season

The "Black Eight" miracle, who was named to the All-Star team in 12 years, led the Grizzlies to the playoffs with fourth place in the West amid Randolph's injury.

In '13, he was named the best defensive player, becoming the first player in Grizzlies history to win the award, and in '15, Gasol Jr. was named an All-Star again and was named to the All-Star team after the season.

1. Manu Ginobili, Manu Ginobili was selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the 57th pick in the 1999 NBA Draft.

But it wasn't until 2002 that he officially landed in the NBA, and he is arguably one of the most successful second-round picks in NBA history, Ginobili has had a perfect career, with four championships, two Sixth Man of the Year, an All-Star, and an Olympic champion...... This season, Ginobili is still playing a role in the Spurs!
