There are many parallel draft champions in NBA history, such as kwame brown and Bennett. Kwame brown averaged 6.6 points and 5.5 rebounds in his career, so he was called the champion of parallel draft. In 2007, the top scholar Auden averaged 8.9 points and 6.2 rebounds in his career, but no one called him the number one parallel importer.
You know, after Auden, the second place in the active league is Durant! However, the Trailblazers made it clear: "If we re-draft in 2007, we will still put Auden first." . It can be seen how shocking Auden's original performance is!
Let's take a look at Auden's physical measurement data. Barefoot height is 2. 1 1 m, arm span is 2.24 m, and standing height is 2.85 m. Auden's in-situ bounce is 8 1.3 cm, and Howard's in-situ bounce is only 77.5 cm! When he first entered the league, Auden's weight was 1 16.6KG, and his turn-back performance was 1 1.67 seconds. The sprint score is 3.27 seconds, which means Auden is a player who combines speed, tonnage and explosive power!
Let's review Auden's career together. In college, Auden blew up Noah Horford's inside combination alone, and Auden's defense was famous all over the United States as early as in college. Auden, even if one hand can't move, the other hand alone can make the inside line a no-fly zone!
Suffering from injuries, Auden played 82 times in his five years with Portland Trailblazers, and his total career appearances were only 65,438+005. After the comeback of the 2008-2009 season, Oden scored 1 1 points1rebounds in the third game of his career, and during the game, the opposing Chandler couldn't get anything cheap in front of Oden, which also made fans have infinite expectations for Oden!
Auden played 6 1 time in the rookie season, averaging 8.9 points and 7 rebounds. On the offensive end, Auden scored mainly by pick-and-roll and second attack, without holding the ball or singles. But in terms of protecting rebounds, I did a good job and showed my talent in the first season!
In the second season of his career, Austria averaged 1 1. 1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks, and even scored 20 rebounds and 4 blocks in a single game. However, in the game against the Rockets, Brooks hit Auden's knee, which led to Auden's reimbursement for the season. After that, he was repeatedly tortured by injuries. Although I joined the Heat later, my health is not as good as before. However, it is reported that Auden will bid for the BIG3 League this summer, and interested friends can pay attention to it then!
This is my personal opinion. If you have different opinions, please leave a message in the comment area and discuss it together! !
Correct a mistake before answering the question. Auden averaged 8.0 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in his career, and 8.9 points per game was the performance of his rookie season.
In the long history of NBA, there have indeed been many parallel draft champions. Apart from Kwame Brown, the most famous parallel draft champion is undoubtedly Anthony bennett, the No.1 pick of 20 13, and bennett who has been in many teams. Career average is only 4.4 points 3. 1 rebound. In all previous NBA top picks, the player closest to his average score is only 65433.
I won't say much about Bennett. Let's turn to Auden.
Auden, who averaged 15.9 points and 9.6 rebounds and shot as high as 610.6% in college, had been "default" as the No.1 pick before the start of the NBA draft in 2007, and the ambitious pioneers undoubtedly chose him. However, just before the start of the 2007-2008 season, Auden suddenly had to undergo surgery because of knee discomfort-Auden was treated for wrist injury in college-which also directly reimbursed Auden for his rookie season.
The trouble of the knee has also become a nightmare that Auden can't get rid of. After the rookie season, Auden did show a good competitive state in the 2009-20 10 season, but after a collision with Aaron Brooks, Auden had a knee problem, which eventually led to his inability to show his talents in the NBA. During the injury, Auden encouraged his teammates to continue fighting without him. At that time, no one would have thought that Auden's pioneer teammates would never have the opportunity to fight side by side with Auden again. In the subsequent Heat Age and Jiangsu Men's Basketball Age, Auden's two attempts also ended in failure, and he had to end his basketball career with regret.
Back to the problem itself, one of the important reasons why Auden can't be simply called the number one parallel import is that the only reason why he can't show his talent is injury, which is obviously different from Kwame Brown and Bennett. Take Bennett as an example, because he can't adapt to NBA games at all, he is indisputably called parallel imports.
Grant hill, Penny Hardaway, brandon roy, derrick rose ... In the history of NBA, there is never a shortage of talented players who have been destroyed by injuries. These players, like greg oden, are more sorry for their experiences. If there were no injuries, what kind of basketball would they play and how many wonderful moments would they leave for the NBA? Unfortunately, these questions will never be answered.
Finally, list Auden's history in NBA career. Auden scored 24 points, 20 rebounds and 6 blocks in a single game.
In the NBA, people who are called the number one parallel imports basically have two conditions: First, they have not played enough playing time. Second, there are not enough talents. Auden obviously does not meet these two conditions, so naturally it will not be called the number one parallel import.
Auden is the number one scholar who was destroyed by injury.
Auden was the number one scholar in 2007, and Durant was the second in that year. I don't think it's necessary to say more about Adu's talent. He was born a misplaced killer. Whoever hits is misplaced, and the defensive end can prevent multiple players. Such a player failed to become the No.1 scholar, but Auden's talent is amazing. Auden is 2. 13 in height and 2.24 in arm span. Bouncing, speed and explosive power are all top-notch. In college, he could blow up the combination of Horford and Noah with one hand, which was completely unstoppable. It is precisely because of this that everyone knows that he is bound to become the number one scholar, and no team can refuse his talent.
In fact, NBA managers held a meeting before the draft, and there were many top medical experts at the meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss Auden's physical condition and health condition. Auden was injured many times during his college years, and his health was also worrying. But in the end, everyone discussed an optimistic result: first, Auden was not seriously injured. Second, he was injured in different parts and did not recur. For these two reasons, everyone thinks that Auden has no hidden dangers of injury. So he became the champion.
However, after entering the NBA, the situation suddenly changed. He suffered many injuries before the start of the regular season and didn't play a game throughout the 2007-08 season. In the 2008-09 season, Auden's health was relatively good. He played 6 1 game, averaging 8.9 points and 7 rebounds. This is the data obtained when the average playing time is only 2 1 minute, which is already valuable. This season, Auden did not lose the wind in the contest with the top inside players in the league, and he was able to take advantage of Bynum, the hot little shark at that time. Auden's talent has been fully demonstrated, and no one doubts his future. However, the good times did not last long. Auden was injured again in the 09- 10 season and once quit the NBA. It was not until 13 to 14 that Auden won the favor of the Heat. But his competitive state is not as good as before, and he has no sense of competition at all. After a short stay in the Heat, he bid farewell to the NBA completely.
If there is no injury, Auden can fulfill his talent.
If there is no injury, Auden will definitely play. The reason is simple, his talent is too good. He can crush Bynum in speed, explosiveness, bounce and basketball IQ. He is only a little rough in skills, but for boys who have just joined the league, there are many people with rough skills. Technology can be practiced, and talent determines the upper limit. Bynum, who was not as good as Auden everywhere, has already played out. Auden does not need more training and polishing skills. He has no problem becoming an All-Star. He has the talent and potential to become a superstar. However, Auden is doomed to be a tragic figure. His life is bad, he is hurt so badly, and no matter how powerful his talent is, he can't stand the torture. In the end, he can only bid farewell to the NBA with his own regrets and unfinished dreams.
Auden wouldn't swim if it weren't for injuries. I hope talented players won't be tired because of injuries in the future.
Thanks for inviting me.
How to define parallel draft champion? I don't think a player has ever played a game in the NBA that conforms to the overall ranking in a healthy way, or the results played by a player are far from the overall ranking. In the NBA, we will associate Bennett and kwame brown with parallel draft champions. Auden will not be listed as the champion of parallel draft, because he can only be regarded as a talented player destroyed by injury!
Kwame brown has played in the NBA for more than ten seasons, averaging only 6.6 points and 5.5 rebounds in 22 minutes, which is not worthy of the first pick. His best season is only 10+7, a qualified blue-collar figure. Bennett played in the NBA for four seasons and didn't even get a chance to come off the bench. These are called parallel champions.
Auden showed great talent when he was in college. At that time, he was affected by injuries. Auden is still raging inside the NCAA, and Noah Horford of the opposite tower has not got rid of the injured Auden. Auden showed the dominance that Durant didn't have at that time, so he forced Durant to become the number one scholar. The big man has always been liked by the top draft signing team. At that time, there was a saying that the insider won the world!
Auden showed his talent potential in the draft physical examination. Regardless of strength, speed or physical hardware, Auden is a rare big man. Since Auden entered the NBA, he has been playing intermittently because of injuries. His best season averaged 24 minutes, 1 1. 1 minute, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. Auden showed his defensive ability, and his presence can improve the team's defense qualitatively. In the second year, the offensive skills were still rough. After serious injury, such performance can't be said to be gifted, but it can't be classified as parallel imports!
Auden the Great's NBA career is too short to fulfill his talent. Now he will take part in the Big Three League in the summer. Maybe he can see his performance here. Auden was called the Great at that time, and his potential was not touted by the media. His height, weight, wingspan, jumping speed and personality are all templates for the perfect center! So if Auden can be healthy, he will never be watery!
Auden, on the other hand, is completely different from them. Although his NBA career is not smooth, it is not because he is not strong, but because he has too many injuries and injuries. He didn't play a full season in the NBA at all. He played 105 games in the NBA. This in itself is a very regrettable thing!
During his college years, he won many honors. In the face of hibbert, Noah and Elhorford, his data was completely crushed. In his high school and college career, he never lost at home, which has proved his strength!
So Auden is not the parallel draft champion in people's eyes. In that draft, no matter which team holds the first prize, it will not hesitate to choose Auden, the man known as the Great!
Why is there no one?
Auden himself knows this very well, and he can't run away from this parallel label.
However, Mr. Ao can rest assured that the first parallel draft champion in history now belongs to Bennett. As for Mr. Ao himself, although he is greatly exaggerated, he can become an excellent defensive blue collar if he is not injured. Much better than Comrade Bennett.
Another set of pictures:
terrible ...
The title of Auden the Great was given to him by the media and fans. From the draft at that time, Durant became the number one scholar, so we can see his strength. After all, he blew Horford+Noah in the NCAA game.
Auden didn't exert his dominance in college, not because he couldn't adapt to NBA games, nor because he was incompetent, but because of his own injuries and the pioneer's veterinarian. I have thought more than once that if Auden is selected by the Sun, it will undoubtedly greatly extend his career.
There is an interview with the Blazers' boss and general manager that can best explain the problem: If the Blazers are given another chance, they will undoubtedly choose Auden at the first time!
In the 2007 NBA draft, Auden defeated Durant and became the No.1 in that year's draft. But no one expected Durant to grow into a top player in the league, and Auden's career was full of hardships.
Auden only played for three seasons. He has played 105 games, averaging only 8 points, 6.2 rebounds 1.2 assists. Such a performance is undoubtedly not worthy of the champion. At the same time, it is far below people's expectations. But even so, no one says Auden is a parallel import, and the only one who evaluates him with parallel imports is himself.
The main reason why Auden is not considered as a parallel import is his talent and outstanding performance in college. Auden
The registered height is 2. 13m and the weight is 1 13kg. In high school, Auden led the team to a record of 103 wins and 7 losses (including 24 wins in the playoffs/kloc-0 losses), and the team won the 4A interstate championship three times. He also won the title of basketball player of the year, was selected for the All-Star Team of American high school students, and won the great early title.
Auden was even better in college, and once confronted hibbert head-on, leaving hibbert at a loss. In the final of NCAA championship, he scored 25 points and won 12 board, while the opponent's inside line was a combination of Horford and Noah, but neither of them could attack and defend Auden.
In addition to joining the NBA, Auden played an amazing talent, and in his NBA career, Auden also had a good performance. In the second season of his career, Auden played 23.9 minutes, averaging 1 1. 1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. Career is also 24 points 15 board 24 points 12 board 13 points and 20 boards. It can be said that from the perspective of talent and strength, as well as the talent displayed in a short career. If healthy, Auden will be terrible.
His career was completely ruined by injuries, so almost no one said he was a parallel import. Unlike Brown and olowokandi, he got the opportunity and time, but he is in good health, but he just doesn't have the IQ to play. Auden's ability is different from that of parallel imports.
There is only one reason why Auden the Great can't be called the number one parallel import: he went ashore before he got into the water! If Yao Ming's career was destroyed by injury, Auden's career was directly blocked by injury, and it ended without a start.
Because we can see his ability and sympathize with his experience.
Different from other parallel draft champions in history, people like kwame brown actually have a chance to play, but their abilities really can't meet our requirements for the top draft, unlike Auden who ruined his career because of injuries. Naturally, we will have strong sympathy for him.
However, even if he is not a top parallel, I think Auden is far below the expectations of fans. Auden was actually healthy in the 2008-09 season, but he only scored 8.8 points +6.9 rebounds +0.5 assists+1. 1 blocked shots +0.4 steals+1.4 mistakes +3.9 fouls.
Therefore, I think Auden would not have reached the level of a superstar without injuries, but he would not have reached the level of a parallel champion, because after all, the talent visible to the naked eye is there, and with the sympathy points brought by injuries, we naturally won't say that he is a parallel champion.
