Some fans asked me to talk about the most representative No. 1 pick in the NBA. Here I will talk about the meaning of No. 1 pick in the NBA, which is to enter the NBA with a very high upper limit, but due to strength, some psychological factors, injuries and other reasons, the No. 1 pick did not reach the expected valuation. So which of the most representative top picks in the NBA are there? I think there are 3 people, so I will take a look at them in detail.
1: Anthony Bennett was the No. 1 pick in the NBA in 2013. His career average of only 4.4 points and 3.1 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was very low and only 39.2%. In his rookie season, Bennett averaged only 4.2 points and 3 rebounds per game. He is the worst No. 1 pick in NBA history with a rookie season. It can be said that why Bennett caused this? He lacked the ability to confront the NCAA. He averaged 16+8 star level averaged to the NBA marginal role player. He has played for four teams including the Cavaliers and Timberwolves, but he has not performed well. Later, he went abroad to play, and left the Korean League in 2023 and has been playing without the ball. He can be said to be the most soccer No. 1 pick in the NBA so far.
2: Kwame Brown
Kwame Brown was Jordan's No. 2 pick in 2001 and was also the first high school pick in the NBA. It can be said that Kwame Brown has a very unhappy life. He once said in public that the Wizards are very strict with themselves and are afraid of their various mistakes in the game, such as receiving and passing mistakes, which will eventually lead to their mentality collapse. Kwame Brown averaged only 6.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in his career, and of course he averaged 10.9 points per game in one season. In fact, Kwame Brown's skills are not very good, his offense is very rough, and his free throw shooting percentage is only 57%. He has played in the NBA for 12 seasons and has always been a player at the role level. In fact, he has always been in contact with the No. 1 pick halo that Jordan chose, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Kwame Brown is the No. 1 pick in parallel.
3: Michael Ogvokandi
Orovokandi was the No. 1 pick in the 1998 NBA Draft. This No. 1 pick is still very talented, with a height of 2.13 meters and a wingspan of 2.41 meters. Because of such top physical talent, the Clippers gave up players such as Dirk, Pierce, and Carter during the draft. He averaged 8.9 points per game in his rookie season, which was also the peak season in his career. Later, it can be said that his condition was in a decline, and his career averaged only 8.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. He has never entered the Best Team and All-Star in his career in nine years. Ogvokandi's skills are actually relatively rough, with very low offensive efficiency, only 43.5 shooting percentage, and even worse free throwing ability, only 59.7 percent shooting percentage, and his performance is unstable, and he has been rated as one of the worst No. 1 picks in NBA history by the US media.
