Spanning 26 years! Take a look at all the No. 1 picks and performances that James has worked with in his current career!
4:02am, 8 July 2025Basketball
With the Lakers officially announced the official joining of former No. 1 pick Andre Ayton, he has also become the 9th No. 1 pick so far in his career! Interestingly, the Lakers not only had the No. 1 pick in the 18th class, but also obtained the 18th class Tanhua and the future league appearance - Luca Doncic last season through magical operations! Although people are always criticized for having "defensive cleanliness", Ayton was the former top pick after all. Ayton, who has played double-double for many years, has always performed well on the offensive end! You should know that Ayton's annual salary for this contract is only $8 million. 8 million! What other bicycle do you want? As long as Ayton can eat most of the cakes that Hayes had vomited before, this contract will be worth it?
With the existence of two epic passers, James and Doncic, it is still unknown whether Ayton can play a new chapter in the Lakers that matches the No. 1 pick!
Next, let's take a look at all the No. 1 picks that James has worked with in his career and his performance in his field during his cooperation. Let’s see if it was James “hugging his thighs” or “being hugged his thighs”? (It is not easy to check the information, I hope you can like and support Sanpang!)
No. 1: Joe Smith
Draft ranking: 1st pick in the first round of 1995
Personal position: Power forward/center
Cooperation duration: Two seasons (07-08, 08-09) 48 games in total
Cooperation
Time data: 7.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.6 blocks, cooperation honors: No cooperation results: Fourth in the Eastern Conference (half-way joining), first in the Eastern Conference in the 2008-09 season
Sanfat brief review: As a typical paralyzer, Smith's only highlight in his career was his rookie season during the Warriors period. And the subsequent series of brainless operations made him fall into endless abyss... In the two seasons of working with James, Joe Smith continued his embarrassing career. While averaging three singles, he has not been able to secure the starting position...
2nd place: Shaquille O'Neal
Draft pick: 1st pick in the first round of 1992
Position position: Center
Cooperation duration: One season (09-10) 53 games in total
Cooperation data: 12.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.3 steals, 1.2 blocks
Cooperation honor: No
Cooperation result: No. 09-10 season Eastern Conference No. 1
Sanfat brief review: It is understandable that someone who is 37 years old can make a slap in the iron, and the 37-year-old Sharks are in a peerless center! The shark used by some groups as guns is considered a big disaster in the evening... Even O'Neal himself admitted on the show that he had no effect during the Cavaliers, but in some groups, it was James' thickest "thigh"... It is conceivable what was in the heads of these groups.
3rd place: Greg Oden
Draft ranking: 1st pick in the first round of 2007, 2007, Position: Center
Cooperation duration: One season (2013-2014) A total of 23 games, cooperation data: 2.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.0 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.6 blocks, cooperation honors: None
Cooperation results: Second in the Eastern Conference in 13-14, Sanpang brief review: As the best center in history who will always live in the ideal, many people are unsatisfied in their minds, but in Sanpang's opinion, players who have not played will be treated as parallel. Isn’t it the player’s own problem? Whether it is physiological or psychological, you can’t attribute your own problems to environmental problems, right? Maybe the healthy Oden is indeed invincible in the league, but Oden just can't stay healthy...
4th place: Kyrie Irving
Draft pick: 1st pick in the first round of 2011
Position position: Point guard
Cooperation duration: Three seasons (14-15 to 16-17) 200 games in total
Cooperation data: 22.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.3 blocks
Honors during cooperation: Championship (2015-2016), Three-Road ×1 (2014-2015), All-Star ×2 (2014-2015, 2016-2017)
Results during cooperation: Second in the Eastern Conference, First in the 14-15 season, First in the Eastern Conference, Second in the 15-16 season, Second in the Eastern Conference, Second in the 16-17 season,
Sanpang Brief Review: As the No. 1 pick with the second most cooperation with James, Irving and James teamed up to create a shocking reversal of 1-3 behind in the finals! The two who brought the first championship in team history to the Cavaliers are undoubtedly the legend of Cleveland! However, Irving, unwilling to be inferior to others, was eager to prove himself and would never have the chance to play the finals after leaving James.. Even if he expressed his regrets many times in the interview, it was useless...
5th place: Andrew Bogut
Draft ranking: 1st pick in the first round of 2005
Personal position: Center
Cooperation duration: One season (16-17) 1 game in total
Cooperation data: 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists, 0.0 steals, 0.0 blocks
Cooperation honor: None
Cooperation results: Second in the Eastern Conference in the 16-17 season (reduced halfway through)
Sanpang brief comment: In Sanpang's eyes, Bogut was not considered to have cooperated with James, and some groups are good guns used to belittle James! Bogut's entire career positioning is a blue-collar player, and he has become a legendary center around James, and is proficient in everything... Leaving the court due to injury and being cut off less than a minute after he was on the court, he can actually become evidence of "James's useless teammate"...
No. 6: Derek Ross
Draft pick: 2008 first round 1
Position position: Point guard
Cooperation duration: one season ( 17-18) A total of 16 games in cooperation: 9.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.2 honors during cooperation: None
Results during cooperation: Fourth place in the Eastern Conference in the 17-18 season (left halfway)
Sanpang brief comment: Joined with confidence, and left the court sadly midway... Ross, a player who snatched James' MVP at his peak, is a difficult time in the minds of many fans! We don't know if Ross would shine in the finals in the subsequent finals, but the actual situation is that Ross was traded in the middle and couldn't continue to cooperate with James...
7th place: Anthony Davis
Draft ranking: 1st pick in the first round of 1995
Position position: Power forward/center
Cooperation duration: Six seasons (19-20 to 24-25), a total of 312 games
Cooperation data: 7.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.6 blocks
Cooperation honor: championship (2019-2020), first team × 1 (2019-2020), second team ×1 (2023-2024), first defense ×2 (2019-2020, 2023-2024), All-Star ×4 (2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2023-2024, 2024-2025)
Results during cooperation: First place in the West in the 19-20 season, seventh in the 20-21 season, eleventh in the 21-22 season, seventh in the 22-23 season, seventh in the 23-24 season, eighth in the 24-25 season, third in the 24-25 season (left halfway)
Sanfat brief comment: As the No. 1 pick who has worked with James for the longest time, Dark eyebrows are undoubtedly the white jade pillar and purple gold beam in everyone's mind! It is also the "thickest thigh" in James' career... In the 6 seasons of cooperation between the two, injuries and stops have always been the main theme. The forced weight gain and hit 5 also increased the risk of injury... In the end, being traded became a shame for all the fans!
8th place: Dwight Howard
Draft pick: 1st pick in the first round of 2004
Position: Center
Cooperation duration: Two seasons (19-20, 21-22), a total of 129 games
Cooperation data: 6.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.5 steals, 0 .9 blocks
Honors when cooperating: Championship (2019-2020)
Results when cooperating: First place in the Western Conference in the 19-20 season, 11th in the Western Conference in the 21-22 season
Sanfat Brief Comment: If Warcraft could cooperate with James at its peak, then the picture would be too beautiful, Sanfat would never have imagined... Unfortunately, Warcraft was displaced until the end of his career to get the opportunity to cooperate with James. The two won the championship in their first season of cooperation, and Howard finally completed his redemption in his late years!
9th place: DeAndre Ayton
Draft ranking: 1st pick in the first round of 2018
Position position: Center
Cooperation duration: Not started yet
Cooperation data: Not started yet
Honors: Not started yet
Cooperation score: Not started yet
Sanfat brief review: Obviously Ayton cannot compare with the former Lakers' No. 1 pick centers like Jabbar and O'Neal are undoubtedly hard to come by. Based on Ayton's annual salary of only 8 million US dollars, as long as he plays his former level on the court, it will be worth the money, okay...
Then the above is a list of all the top scorers James has worked with in his career and his cooperation period! I wonder which ones do you think are the helpers of James’ career and which ones are the ones that are dragging their feet?
At the beginning of the new year, everything will be renewed! Sanpang wishes all the audience all the wishes come true and good luck! It is said that the audience who likes, follows and supports Sanpang will become rich overnight in the next three days! I wonder if you have received such good luck? Don’t miss it if you pass by! It’s better to act than to move~~
