The US media rearranged the 2018 draft, only to discover that the top ten picks were all wrong! Brunson, who is better than the third pick, is only the third overall pick.

Basketball

Who are the top five in the current league? It is estimated that many fans have their own answers, and as far as this season is concerned, the top five people with the highest voices are Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Alexander, Doncic and Wenban. Although Wenban is still very young, he has shown strong dominance. Maybe Curry also has a chance to hit the fifth place. There are two 2018 draft picks among the top five. Speaking of which, the US media has recently rearranged the top ten picks of the 2018 draft. Let's take a look at this list. Is it reasonable?

Tenth Sexton

The original No. 8 pick in the first round. The Cavaliers selected Sexton at the suggestion of Lao James. Facts have proved that Sexton is indeed very good. Although he has not reached the height of his model Westbrook, he now has He is close to the level of a star and has a good attitude towards the game. In the third year of his career, he averaged 24 points per game. However, he has never been able to get the absolute core position. This season with the Hornets, he averaged 16.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 44%.

Ninth Anfernee Simons

The original No. 24 pick in the first round. Simmons was considered by the team to be Lillard's successor during the Trail Blazers. He did produce star-level data, but he has never been able to lead the team to achieve results. success, which led to the Blazers giving up on him. Now after joining the Green Army, he has become the sixth man. Mazzula is simply a waste of money. Simmons has excellent shooting ability. This season, he averaged 14.3 points, 2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, and averaged 2.8 three-pointers per game.

Eighth Ayton

The original No. 1 pick, Ayton's template back then was Admiral Robinson. He has excellent offensive skills, and his speed is also top-notch at the same position, but because he has never been able to get the absolute core position , coupled with his background as the No. 1 pick, he doesn't like dirty work. He has been questioned a lot in the past few years. However, after joining the Lakers this season, he proved that he can do the dirty work and has a better attitude. This season, he averaged 17.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 blocks per game.

Seventh Porter Jr.

The original No. 14 pick in the first round. Had Porter not suffered a back injury in college, he might have been the first choice for this year's No. 1 pick. The No. 1 high school student in the United States at that time, had the nickname of the White Death. A serious injury caused him to lose his explosiveness, but talent is still good. Porter relied on his height of 2.08 meters to become a top fortress and helped the Nuggets win the championship. This season, he averaged 22.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3 assists per game for the Nets.

Sixth Bridges

The original No. 10 pick in the first round. Ohashi became a first-round pick relying on his 3D attributes. After entering the league, he quickly became the top 3D player in the league. Knicks also gave away 5 first-round picks. Now he is performing very well with the Knicks and has also won a big contract. This is a famous iron man. He has never missed a game in his career. This season, he averaged 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

Fifth Jaren Jackson

The original No. 4 pick in the first round. If he hadn't won the best defensive player, I don't think he would be ranked in this position. Jaren Jackson's rebounding ability is very poor, and his personal offensive ability is also poor. Very limited, but his defensive and spatial abilities are very good, which makes him the league's top spatial insider. His leadership qualities are also very good. This season, he averaged 17 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.7 blocks per game. Now the Grizzlies are not harmonious.

Fourth Trae Young

Originally the No. 5 pick in the first round, Trae Young is one of the best point guards currently in service. His organizational skills are top-notch, but because of his inefficiency on the offensive end and his weak body, the defense will be targeted, so the Hawks also have the idea of ​​​​giving up on him. Trae Young once led the Hawks to the Eastern Conference finals, but his physical flaws destined him to be difficult to become the cornerstone of a championship team. This season he averaged 17.8 points, 2 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game, and his career average of 25 points and 9.8 assists per game is outstanding.

Third Brunson

The original No. 3 pick in the second round, Brunson is also very inspiring. To be honest, if it were not for the older draft, Brunson would not have fallen to the second round. His offensive ability with the ball was outstanding in college. After the Mavericks won him, they didn't know how to cherish him, and they didn't even give him a four-year, 100 million contract. Brunson came to the Knicks in anger, and now he has become the new King of New York, averaging 28.3 points, 4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season.

Second Alexander

Originally the 11th pick in the first round, I thought Alexander would become the number one pick in the rearrangement, but it turned out that he was only the second pick. Alexander relied on his outstanding performance last season to become the top pick. He is the league's No. 1 point guard and has won the MVP, scoring title and Finals MVP. He is now a super giant in the league. He is very similar to Duncan. He plays without any disturbance and will not be provoked. He who has a thunderous chest and a face as calm as a lake can be called a general! This season he averaged 33.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.

No. 1 Doncic

In terms of offensive ability alone, Doncic is stronger than Alexander. He can do everything Alexander knows, including hitting porcelain, but Doncic's three-pointers are more stable. Doncic has been 5 in his career. He was selected to the All-NBA First Team for the first time. It is estimated that he and Alexander will monopolize the position of the first team for many years to come. Doncic is one of the best cornerstones in active service. The Lakers would like to thank the Mavericks. This season, Doncic averaged 40 points, 11 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2 steals per game, which is so strong.
