In the NBA, US media often like to divide some teams or players in the league. The purpose of their doing this is to attract discussion and attention. Previously, some US media liked to divide players in the same draft. They did not reorder them, and chose to divide them. Today we will take a look at the 2009 players' division. This year, as a draft year, there are also many outstanding stars and top blue-collar workers. Let's see if the ranking is reasonable?
The sixth level
This level is basically some players who have been in parallel or have not fulfilled their talents: second-place Tabitt, No. 6 pick Jonny Flynn, Jordan Hill, No. 8 pick, as well as Terence Williams, Gerrard Henderson, Jerebko, Blair, Bardinger, Thorton and DeColo. Although these players have played in the league for a while, most of the time are substitute rotation or marginal rotation. We won't talk about this level in detail.
The fifth tier
This tier is basically a top blue-collar player in his career, including Tyrek Evans, Rubio, James Johnson, Carol, Casby and Ellington. Evans had the opportunity to become an All-Star player that year. He won the Best Rookie in his rookie season, but the Kings were useless. Rubio is the best traditional point guard in this class, and if it weren't for the arrival of the small ball era, he might have become an All-Star backcourt.
Zhan Yue was the team's starting line at his peak, and now he serves as the team's locker room leader in the Pacers. This person is a Taekwondo black belt. Carol was the top 3D in the league during his peak period. Ellington was the top scorer in the league at his peak, and his three-point efficiency was excellent. Casby's entry into this level may be overrated. He spent most of his career as a substitute center and left the league at the age of 30.
The fourth tier
This tier is basically a star-level player: Jeff Teague, Collison, Gibson, Jennings, Beverly, Danny Green and Mills. To be honest, if Jennings could enter the fourth gear, then Evans should also enter the fourth gear. They were almost famous at the same time and fell relatively early. Jeff Teague was selected as an All-Star during the Hawks. His organizational skills and field control rhythm were good, but after the arrival of the small ball era, he lost his core position when he played too slowly.
Collison chose to retire at his peak that year, which was surprising. Although he had never been selected as an All-Star, he averaged 16+5 per game at his peak. Everyone should be familiar with Beverly. One of the best 3D backcourts in the league at its peak, the key is that the defense is excellent. Although Danny Green is the second round pick. However, relying on his excellent defensive ability and space projection, he has won three championships and is a very outstanding championship puzzle.
Gibson was one of the best five small centers in the league at his peak. He played very hard and was willing to do dirty and tiring work. He is now 39 years old and still got a contract with the Hornets. Mills is one of the greatest backcourt players in the history of the Australian men's basketball team. His peak was during the Spurs. He was the top sixth player in the league at that time. Now he has no peak and plays the role of a fringe rotation in the Clippers.
The third level
This level is basically a player of the league's superstar level at its peak. No. 1 pick Griffin and No. 9 pick DeRozan entered this level. If Griffin hadn't been injured, he should have continued to play in the league. Griffin was selected as the All-Star in the first year of his career. He also won the championship of the dunk contest. He has been selected as the All-Star and 5 best teams. DeRozan is one of the best mid-range shooting ability in history. He now has a performance of 20+ per game, and is in the top 25 of his career total scores, which is very outstanding.
The second level
This level is the super giant in the league at its peak. There is only one player in this level, and he is Harden. If Harden wins the championship with his absolute main force, he will probably get more recognition. Harden has won the regular season MVP, the league's scoring king, and the assist king. He is one of the best ball-holding cores in history. At his peak, he is also one of the strongest singles players in history. He is the 11th place in his career in total scoring history. Before he retires, he is probably able to enter the top ten in history.
The first level
is also a player, he is Curry, this level is a historical super giant. Curry is likely to enter the top ten in history after retirement. After all, he led the team to win 4 championships and created the era of small balls. Curry is the first scorer in history, with the most three-point shooting in history, and he also led the team to score a record of 73 wins and 9 losses. Although there is only one FMVP, I think when Curry retires, he will probably be able to squeeze out Chamberlain and O'Neal and enter the top ten in history.
