Top 10 Rearrangement of the 98th Draft: Two round picks counterattacked to the top 10, as strong as Carter, only Tanhua

When it comes to the NBA draft in the 1990s, the first thing that comes to mind is the 1996 Golden Generation. That draft produced talented stars like Kobe, Nash, Iverson, etc. for the NBA. After entering the league, they each achieved quite good achievements. In fact, after 1996, the quality of the drafts in the 1997 and 1998 was also very good. Needless to say, the No. 1 pick Duncan directly caused a frenzy of playing. Therefore, we mainly made a top ten rearrangement for the drafts in the 1998. Let’s take a look at which top stars have contributed to this session.

10. Jason Williams (formerly No. 7 pick in the first round)

When talking about this name, many fans may not be able to remember who he is immediately, but when it comes to white chocolate, many fans immediately have an impression of it. After all, his passing is still very distinctive. However, compared to his own viewing game, Williams' real strength cannot match his popularity, but overall he is still a good NBA player, averaging 10.5 points and 5.9 assists in his career, and helped the Heat win the first championship in team history in 2006. That year, he averaged 9.3 points and 3.9 assists per game in the playoffs.

9. Bonchi Wells (formerly No. 11 pick in the first round)

As a former teammate of Yao Ming, Wells had already reached the end of his career when he joined the Rockets, so his condition had declined a lot by then. Although Wells at his peak was not at the star level, he was quite outstanding among role players. He once averaged double-digit points per game for six consecutive seasons. Among them, the best performance averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game. If it weren't for his poor shooting, his condition would have lasted longer.

8. Larry Hughes (formerly No. 8 pick in the first round)

Many people know him because Larry Hughes and James have been teammates, but in fact he was his peak before joining the Cavaliers. When Hughes played for the Wizards in 2004-2005, he averaged 22 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.9 steals per game, so he won the steal king and was selected for the best defensive team. Since joining the Cavaliers, Hughes quickly experienced a decline. The 2007 Finals revealed his true level. That year, he averaged only 11.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals, and his shooting percentage was 34.7%.

7.Catino Mobri (formerly No. 12 pick in the second round)

This is another Yao Ming's former teammate. When Yao Ming entered the league, Mobri was at his peak. In the 2001-2002 season, he averaged 21.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Later, Mobley was traded to the Magic, but his competitive form has always been good. In the last season of his career, he averaged 13.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

6. Jamison (formerly No. 4 pick in the first round)

Jamison is one of the best offensive forward players in this rookie. He averaged 19.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in his second season of his career. Later, he reached the peak, and he averaged 20+ per game in multiple seasons. Moreover, Jamison's peak is quite lasting, so at the age of 32, he still averaged 22.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. In the end, Jamison played in the NBA for a total of 16 seasons, during which he was selected for the All-Star twice, and in the end his career scores broke through the 20,000-point mark. You should know that as of now, only 52 players in NBA history have achieved this feat.

5. Rashad Lewis (formerly No. 3 pick in the second round)

Because he was a second round pick, Lewis did not get much chance in the early stage of his career, but since the second year, his playing time has increased, and his improvement speed has not disappointed the team. In his third season of his career, Lewis averaged 14.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and he averaged 1.6 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 43.2%. Later, he gradually became one of the top scorers in the league. In 2009, Lewis also successfully helped the Magic reach the Finals. That year, he averaged 19 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.2 three-pointers per game, and he was selected for the All-Star for the second time that season.

4. Mike Bibby (formerly No. 3 pick in the first round)

Although Bibby has never been selected as an All-Star in his career, his strength at his peak is still obvious to all. In 2002, he once helped the Kings fight the Lakers in seven games in the Western Conference Finals. Later, he also averaged 21.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. However, due to the poor record and the fierce competition in the Western Conference All-Stars, it is understandable that he was not selected. Later, although Bibi came to the slightly weaker East, he also began to decline at that time, so he retired not long afterwards.

3. Vince Carter (formerly No. 5 pick in the first round)

At his peak, Carter was the most popular star among the 1998 rookies. He has not only been selected as the All-Stars many times, but also won the All-Star votes several times, which is enough to prove how popular he is. However, Carter's peak is relatively shorter than some stars at the same time. He has once averaged 27.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, and his decline after he was 30 years old is becoming more and more obvious. However, even so, Carter still played in the NBA for 22 seasons before announcing his retirement, but at the end of his career he did not join a strong team for the championship, so he did not get a ring in the end..

2. Paul Pierce (formerly No. 10th first round pick)

As one of the representative players of the floor stream scorer, Pierce does not have the physical fitness of stars such as Kobe and McGrady at the same time, but this does not affect his becoming one of the best scorers in the league. At his peak, Pierce was good at scoring methods, and his playing style was very mature, both in mid-range and fouls, and what impressed him most was his performance at critical moments. In the end, with his outstanding strength, Pierce not only was selected into the All-Star 10 times and the Best Team 4 times, but he also led the Celtics to win the championship in 2008, and he personally won the FMVP.

1. Nowitzki (formerly No. 9 pick in the first round)

Nowitzki ranked first, which should be expected. There is indeed no star in the same rookie who can compare with him. In 21 seasons of his career, Nowitzki has been selected for the All-Star 11 times and 14 times. At his peak, he was still selected for the Best Team, and he has also won the regular season MVP. Later, under the leadership of Nowitzki, the Mavericks successfully won the first championship of their opponent in 2011, and the value of this championship is also quite high. Not only is Nowitzki the only absolute core in the team, but they are also the stars such as Kobe and James who were eliminated at the time.
