As strong as Burton, he only has 12 picks in the draft, so how are the players ahead of him performing in their careers?

The playoffs have reached a critical moment in the semi-finals. In a focus battle in the East, the Pacers successfully won another away game with one goal, and finally defeated the Cavaliers with the record 4-1. The following match was the first to enter the Eastern Conference finals. The biggest contributor to the team's victory in this game is the star Halliburton. In the

game, he and Mitchell had a strong conversation. In the final quarter, when the Cavaliers chased the score wildly, Burton first completed a wonderful block in defense, and then successfully scored 2+1 to help the Pacers stabilize the situation. At the last moment of the game, he hit another three-pointer to completely kill the suspense of the game, and finally helped the Pacers to enter the division final again. He contributed comprehensive data of 31 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds in this game, and is a well-deserved MVP.

This hot point guard in the league is now selected by the Kings in the 2020 draft. So how are the players ranked ahead of him performing now?

9th-11th pick

The Spurs selected Vassell from the University of Florida. The Spurs were in the stage of full reconstruction at that time, so Vassel had a very good performance opportunity. He also won the trust of the coaching staff with his passionate performance and successfully rotated players. Finally, in his personal rookie season, he averaged 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. In the following seasons, Vassel's personal data continued to grow, and he gradually grew into an absolute core member of the Spurs. During the offseason in 2023, the Spurs used the largest contract in team history to renew Vassel for 146 million in five years. Jaylen Smith, the 10th pick, became a member of the Suns in the summer of 2020. In his career debut, he scored 4 points and 3 rebounds. However, within the Suns' tactical system, Smith did not get much chance of performance. He was traded to the Pacers after playing 56 games for the team in two seasons. During the Pacers' three seasons, Smith showed a good personal performance, and averaged 10 points per game, making him a very good rotation player.

In the offseason in 2024, Smith completed the signing of the Bulls and he received a three-year, 27 million contract. Deni Avdia, the ninth pick, was selected by the Wizards, and the Wizards, who was on the verge of using people, gave him enough room to play. Especially in the 2023-24 season, he played for the team in 75 games, and this season he also increased his personal three-point shooting percentage to 37.4%. In the subsequent trade, he joined another team that is being fully rebuilt - the Trail Blazers, where he is also an unstoppable starter.

This season, he played 72 games for the team, and averaged 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. The player with the 4th-8th pick is Obi Topin, the Knicks selected forward. In his first career, he scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. In his rookie season, he averaged 4.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. His positioning in the team is a substitute vanguard who can score points. In the 2023-24 season, he became a member of the Pacers.

He performed very well this season. He was able to contribute 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in the regular season, and successfully reached the Eastern Conference Finals with the team. The seventh pick is Killian Hayes. He has a good playing time with the Pistons, who has been in trouble and has started for more than 40 games in two consecutive seasons. But his personal performance failed to meet the coach's requirements. Before the 2024 season began, he was signed by the Nets, but he still did not perform well when he came to the new team. Now he is playing for the Nets in the G League. The sixth pick is Oneka Okonggu, who plays for the Hawks. He has grown very rapidly in recent years and has performed best in data this season, averaging 13.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

fifth pick Isaac Okoro is a good substitute for the Cavaliers. Before the start of this season, the team signed a three-year, 38 million contract with him.

fourth-round pick Patrick Williams played 63 games for the Bulls this season, averaging 9.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

Tanhua lottery: Lamelo Ball

Under the crazy publicity offensive of Dad, when the three balls were not a member of the NBA, they already had a very high attention. After becoming a member of the Hornets, he became a key player trained by the team without any suspense and had unlimited fire. Although the rookie averaged 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game in the rookie season, he still won the honor of Best Rookie.

But unfortunately, like my brother, Sanqiu also has a glass man's physique. For five seasons, he spent most of his time fighting injuries. This repeated injury has seriously affected his competitive state. However, every time he returns, he is still trying to find ways to help the team win. This season, he played 47 games for the team, averaging 25.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game.

No. 2: James Wiseman

3rd place was trained by the legendary figures, and the league is looking forward to it. The script Wiseman got at the beginning was definitely the beginning of Tianhu. After joining the Warriors as the second-tier player, the team's senior management also had expectations for him and regarded him as the absolute cornerstone of the future team. Unfortunately, Wiseman proved with practical actions that he was not a player who could gain a foothold in the NBA.. Putting aside the data, Wiseman doesn’t even have basic tactics and running literacy. In the game, he was like a spectator on both ends of the offense and defense, especially on the defensive end. His poor defensive position and habits kept him in the quagmire of fouls. So after trying for two seasons repeatedly, the Warriors finally abandoned him. After that, he only had a short-lived performance in the Pistons, but then he switched to the normal "big smart" mode. Last offseason, the Pacers gave him a two-year basic salary contract, but we hardly see this player this season, and his NBA career has probably entered the countdown stage.

No. 1 pick: Edwards

Among the many players in 2020, besides Burton, the one who performed the best is undoubtedly Edwards. The Timberwolves have always regarded him as the cornerstone of the team building. In his rookie season, he won 55 starts and was able to contribute 19.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists. In the following seasons, Edwards continued to complete his personal evolution, and his data and performance became more and more superstar.

Especially at critical moments in the game, he is always able to use his stable score to help the team win the final victory. During the regular season this season, he averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. He often takes over the game in the playoffs. The Timberwolves have now won the match point 3-1, which is only one step away from reaching the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years.
